Digi already supports the Mackie protocol (aka: HUI), but HUI is a very basic way of controlling PT. It was created many years ago, and to my knowledge has never really been updated. It has limited capabilities. SSL and others are "stuck" having to use it if they want to "somewhat" talk to PT! It's not a professional way of controlling PT, not even close. It limits you in just about every way. Don't compare PT controlled by HUI to PT controlled by an Icon, a C24 or even a Pro Control, and neither to Logic or Nuendo controlled by Euphonix (EUCON). Anybody "half" serious wanting to control any high end DAW wants more than HUI to control their software, and that is why EUCON was created.
