Pro Tools Setup
On the Pro Tools Hardware Setup page (click Setup > Hardware), select each RedNet 5/HD32R
unit in turn and click the Set to Default button. This will ensure that the RedNet unit is correctly
configured for use with Pro Tools.
Sample Rate
RedNet 5/HD32R units will use the same sample rate at which the Pro Tools session is running. It is
important that any devices routed to or from RedNet 5/HD32R unit are also set to the same sample
rate. In simple systems, where the entire network is running at the same sample rate, RedNet
Control can be used to globally change the sample rate of all units. If a more complex system is
in use, where different units are running at different sample rates, please ensure that the units’
sample rates are correctly set using Dante Controller.
Using RedNet 5 with other Pro Tools|HD interfaces
RedNet 5/HD32R interfaces may be freely intermixed with other Pro Tools|HD I/O audio interfaces.
However, it is important to remember that each Pro Tools|HD I/O audio interface allows for 16
channels bidirectionally, whereas a RedNet 5/HD32R allows for 32 channels.
In most situations, RedNet 5/HD32R will be connected directly to a DigiLink [Mini DigiLink] port
on the Pro Tools|HD or HDX card and will be used in Primary Mode (full 32 channel operation).
However, if a free port is not available, then RedNet 5/HD32R can be used in Expansion Mode. This
mode reduces the available channels in RedNet 5/HD32R to 16 and permits the connection of an
existing 16 channel Pro Tools|HD interface to its EXPANSION port; therefore providing a combined
total of 32 channels at the HD or HDX card’s port. This is achieved by selecting Expansion Mode in
RedNet Control (see page 23 for more details).
When connecting devices in Expansion Mode, the Pro Tools|HD card should be connected to the
PRIMARY port of the first interface. Its EXPANSION port should then connect to the PRIMARY port of
the second interface. See below:
