The Pro Tools|HDX system represents a milestone in Avid’s development of DSP-accelerated hardware,

delivering up to 5x more DSP per card,

over 1,000 dB of additional headroom,

and up to 4x more tracks and 2x more I/O

(compared to its Pro Tools|HD Accel predecessor)

The Pro Tools|HDX system enables you to mix bigger, more complex productions, with the rock-solid performance and stability that you’ve come to expect from Pro Tools|HD.

And as your needs grow, you can scale the system to increase track counts, power, and I/O, using up to three Pro Tools|HDX cards and multiple Pro Tools HD Series interfaces.

With this addition to the Pro Tools|HD family, you now have two powerful system choices.

Choose Pro Tools|HD Native if you need the advanced workflows and sound quality of Pro Tools HD software, but want to leverage your host computer to get the best performance and lowest latency.

Or choose the new flagship DSP-accelerated Pro Tools|HDX system if you require consistent peak performance and near-zero latency to handle extremely large and complex productions.

Regardless of which you choose, both systems provide the highest performance, lowest latency, and greatest sound quality available for the most demanding audio post and music production professionals

Can I run Pro Tools 9 or earlier software on Pro Tools|HDX hardware?

No.

Pro Tools|HDX requires an updated version of Pro Tools HD software, which will be included with the system. update 12/22/2011:

Pro Tools HD 10.1 Mac is now available

Q: Does Pro Tools|HDX use both core and process cards like previous Pro Tools|HD systems?

A: No.

We’ve simplified the system to use just one type of DSP card, removing the need to have two different cards.

With one card, you can mix up to 256 voices.

If you need more tracks and power, you can expand your Pro Tools|HDX system with up to three cards.

With two cards, you can mix up to 512 voices, and with three cards, you can have up to 768 voices, eliminating the need for an expansion chassis to support very large sessions.

Each Pro Tools|HDX card has two DigiLink Mini connectors, which can support up to four interfaces —

or up to 12 interfaces (192 channels of I/O) with a three-card system.

What is AAX and why did Avid create a new plug-in format?

AAX is a new unified plug-in format that comes in two flavors —

AAX DSP,

which requires a Pro Tools|HDX system,

and AAX Native,

which can be run natively on the host CPU with any Pro Tools 10-based system (including Pro Tools|HD Native, the Mbox family, and Eleven Rack) or standalone software.

The AAX format provides better workflows and sonic parity between DSP-accelerated and native Pro Tools systems.

(RTAS and AudioSuite plug-ins will also run on Pro Tools|HDX systems, but TDM plug-ins are not compatible.)

We created AAX for the future, as it’s a 64-bit ready format, and will allow our third-party development partners time to ready their plug-ins for Pro Tools technology advancements down the road.

What is the difference between AAX Native and RTAS plug-in formats?

While both are native plug-in platforms, AAX Native uses a new SDK that is 64-bit ready.

Pro Tools 10 software will run both versions, but AAX is our platform for the future.

Q: Are all TDM-only plug-ins from Avid available in AAX format?

With the Pro Tools 10 software release, the following new Avid plug-ins are available in AAX format:

Channel Strip,

Down Mixer,

and Mod Delay.

When Pro Tools|HDX is available later this year, we will have many more Avid AAX plug-ins available.

Pro Tools 10 and Pro Tools HD 10 software include the three new Avid AAX plug-ins.

Avid Channel Strip enables you to get the sound of the award-winning System 5 console EQ and dynamics in your mix.

Down Mixer enables you to fold down any multi-format channel.

And Mod Delay lets you add more dimension and richness

Q: Are all third-party manufacturers updating their plug-ins to AAX format?

Many third-party manufacturers have transitioned (or are in the process of transitioning) their plug-ins to the new AAX format.

For the latest details, see:

Avid’s AAX Plug-in Compatibility page

Announcement from Metric Halo (added 3.22.12)

Announcement from Wave Arts (added 3.22.12)

Why did Avid switch from 24-bit processing/48-bit fixed summing to hardware that offers 32-bit floating-point processing/64-bit floating-point summing, and what does it mean for me?

There are several reasons for the transition.

A 64-bit floating-point mix bus provides more than 1,000 dB of headroom, which is more than enough to handle the huge track counts that Pro Tools|HDX can deliver.

Also, by moving the insert paths to a 32-bit floating-point format, Pro Tools|HDX offers much more dynamic range for plug-in processing, making it nearly impossible to clip the plug-ins, while also being able to handle greater than 24-bit audio file formats.

Many of you have told us that even with dual-precision plug-ins processing at 48-bit, the path between inserts on Pro Tools|HD was still limited to 24-bit — thus, limiting any gains.

With Pro Tools|HDX, all data streams are maintained at full 32-bit floating point and then summed in the DSP mixer at 64 bits.

Our beta customers told us that they could hear and appreciate the difference

Since Pro Tools|HDX is so much more powerful card for card, can I trade in multiple Pro Tools|HD Core and Accel cards towards a single Pro Tools|HDX card system?

Yes.

You can trade in a Pro Tools|HD 1 system towards Pro Tools|HDX (which includes Pro Tools HD 10 software) starting at $7,999 (US MSRP).

Or trade in a Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel system towards Pro Tools|HDX starting at $6,999.

Or trade in a Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel system towards Pro Tools|HDX starting at $5,999.

Will Pro Tools|HDX support my older Pro Tools|HD interfaces, such as the 192 I/O, 192 Digital I/O, 96 I/O, 96i I/O, and the blue SYNC or SYNC HD?

Yes it will, but you should consider taking advantage of the discounted exchange pricing on newer Pro Tools HD Series interfaces, because Pro Tools 10 will be the last official major release to support the older (“blue”) Avid interfaces.

Please note that we will continue to support these legacy interfaces in the form of software updates for any bug fix issues that may arise

Can I trade in my older Pro Tools|HD interface for a newer interface when I exchange my Pro Tools|HD cards towards Pro Tools|HDX?

Yes.

When you crossgrade from Pro Tools|HD to Pro Tools|HDX, as part of the transaction, you can trade in any legacy (“blue”) Pro Tools|HD audio interface for an HD OMNI interface at no charge (limit 1 per Pro Tools|HDX crossgrade).

Or you can trade in any legacy Pro Tools|HD interface and upgrade to an HD I/O 8x8x8 interface for $1,000 (USD; limit 1 per Pro Tools|HDX crossgrade at this price).

You can exchange additional Pro Tools|HD interfaces at discounted prices —

contact your local reseller for details.

Do I need to buy an Avid interface separately when purchasing a new Pro Tools|HDX system?

A: An interface is included —

Pro Tools|HDX provides the highest performance as a complete system, which includes the HDX PCIe card, Pro Tools HD software, and your choice of Pro Tools HD Series interface.

This configuration is how we designed and tested the system to guarantee the highest performance for our most demanding professional customers.

By purchasing Pro Tools|HDX as a complete system, we can also offer a lower cost of entry when compared to purchasing each piece separately.

The savings are dramatic when comparing the previous Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel core system with HD OMNI bundle, which carried a retail price of $12,495 (USD)-and this doesn’t include the cost of a Pro Tools 10 upgrade.

The new and more powerful single Pro Tools|HDX PCIe card + HD OMNI bundle with Pro Tools HD 10 software carries a retail price of $9,999 (USD) — a savings of $2,400

How many Pro Tools|HDX cards can I use in a system?

You can scale a Pro Tools|HDX system with up to three total cards running in a CPU or approved chassis, for a total of 768 simultaneous voices

What operating system will I need to run Pro Tools|HDX?

Mac OS 10.7.x Lion is fully qualified.

Windows 7 is still currently under testing.

Pro Tools HD 10 will run in both 32-bit and 64-bit operating system mode.

A minimum of 4 GB of RAM is required, but 8 GB is recommended — even more will be helpful if you want to use the new Extended Disk Cache functionality, which loads an entire session into RAM to deliver better performance.

You can assign up to half of your total installed RAM to the cache — for example, if you have 16 GB of RAM installed, you can select up to 8 GB of RAM in 2 GB increments

Can I use my external chassis with Pro Tools|HDX?

Chassis support is still under testing and not qualified at release.

For Pro Tools|HD Native and legacy Pro Tools|HD systems, we still support the Magma PE6R4, PCIe-to-PCIe 1, 2, 4, and 7-slot chassis.

Please check the Compatibility and Upgrade pages for more information

Can I use a Pro Tools|HD Core or Accel card along with a Pro Tools|HDX card for TDM plug-in support?

No.

You can’t install an older Pro Tools|HD card and a Pro Tools|HDX card in the same system.

If I open a Pro Tools HD 9 session that includes TDM plug-ins on a Pro Tools|HDX system with Pro Tools HD 10 software, will I run into any problems?

.
A:

As long as you have the AAX or RTAS versions installed of the plug-ins used in the session, the processing will just translate over to the new DSP.

If an AAX plug-in doesn’t exist, the Pro Tools|HDX system will use the RTAS version

Can I trade in my Pro Tools|HD Native system for a new Pro Tools|HDX system?

Yes, hardware crossgrade exchanges are available for Pro Tools|HD Native systems for $7,499 (US MSRP).

What’s the difference between Pro Tools|HDX and the VENUE HDx Option Card?

Pro Tools|HDX is the new generation of DSP-based PCIe interface card for Pro Tools, replacing the legacy Core and Accel PCIe cards.

The VENUE HDx Option Card for VENUE FOH Rack and Mix Rack systems essentially acts as an audio peripheral for connecting to a Pro Tools|HD Accel or Pro Tools|HD Native system, and soon (once qualified) to the new Pro Tools|HDX card (via a simple DigiLink cable adapter)
