Avid HD Native and Pro Tools|HD Hardware
Configuration for Avid Editing Systems
Avid Pro Tools v8.5 and later supports HD Native audio hardware, and Pro Tools v9.0 and later
supports both HD Native and Pro Tools|HD hardware. If you install your Avid editing
application on a system with Pro Tools HD, you can use the same audio hardware for both
applications. The supported versions of Avid Pro Tools installs the necessary audio drivers.
Not all versions of Avid editing applications are compatible with Pro Tools|HD and HD Native
hardware. For up-to-date information on co-installation and supported configurations, see the
ReadMe for your Avid editing application.
If you use 3rd party hardware or if you have Avid DX hardware installed with your system, you
cannot access Pro Tools|HD or HD Native hardware. You can use this hardware in a
software-only Avid editing system or with supported Avid hardware in 1394 mode.
n
Pro Tools|HD and HD Native audio hardware is supported only in some co-installation
configurations, and for Pro Tools v9.0 the HD hardware is supported only on Macintosh systems
and 32-bit Windows systems. For more information about co-installation, see the ReadMe
documentation that came with your Avid editing application.
