Configuring Digital Format and
Hardware Routing
The Hardware Setup includes additional settings
for configuring the digital format and hardware
routing for your system’s audio interfaces.
For an outline of the configuration of an HDX or
HD Native system with one or more Pro Tools HD
interfaces, see “Configuring Pro Tools | HDX and
Pro Tools | HD Native Hardware Settings” on
page 98.
Selecting Footswitch Control
(003 Only)
The footswitch connector on your 003 family in-
terface lets you use a footswitch pedal to control
either playback start/stop or recording
punch in/out. Both QuickPunch audio punch-in
and punch-out and MIDI punch-in and punch-out
recording are supported.
Record Punch In/Out Select this option to use a
footswitch connected to your 003 family interface
to punch in and punch out during recording.
Playback Start/Stop Select this option to use a
footswitch connected to your 003 family interface
to start and stop playback.
Configuring Pro Tools | HDX
and Pro Tools | HD Native
Hardware Settings
On HDX and HD Native systems, you configure
Hardware settings for each audio interface con-
nected to your system (see Chapter 5, “Pro Tools
Systems.”)
HDX and HD Native systems can have HD I/O,
HD OMNI, HD MADI or Pro Tools | MTRX au-
dio interfaces connected to HDX cards or
HD Native hardware. HD I/O, HD OMNI, and
MTRX can also have additional interfaces at-
tached using the Expansion port on each interface.
Identifying Audio Interfaces
If you have multiple audio interfaces of the same
type connected to your system, before you make
audio connections to them, you should confirm the
identity of each interface. This ensures that you
choose the appropriate interface in the Peripherals
list when you define its inputs and outputs in the
Hardware Setup.
To identify audio interfaces in your system:
1 Choose Setup > Hardware.
2 From the Peripherals list, select an audio inter-
face connected to your system.
3 Make sure the Main page is shown.
To configure specific hardware settings for
other Pro Tools or third-party audio inter-
faces, see the documentation that came with
your audio interface.
Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll
though the Peripherals list in the Hardware
Setup.
