What brings Dolby Audio Bridge to HDX users?
It sounds great that by using Dolby Audio Bridge we can finally have accurate delay compensation, and compatibility sessions with master suite users is also welcomed. What I don’t understand is what happens with HDX cards and plugins once one use DAB as the playback engine in 2019.10?

Re: What brings Dolby Audio Bridge to HDX users?
I've been trying to figure it all out today. Documentation seems scant. It looks like HDX just becomes a glorified playback card for the Dolby Atmos Render. Pro Tools -> Atmos audio bridge -> Dolby Atmos Render -> HDX -> Speakers.
On one upside, it increases the voice count in Pro Tools to 384... but it does make a HDX card a little useless indeed. When using the Dolby Atmos Audio Bridge, it appears the render expects some kind of sync to function as well. Either MTC or LTC over audio, where as the send/receive plugins handle it all internally. I had to generate LTC audio online and stick it into the session, outputting it to the Render on channel 129. It seems to work fine after that. HDX seems to be on the way out...

https://help.prodicle.com/hc/en-us/a...Atmos-Natively I have not tried this yet but I will set this up this Friday... Yeah I didn't think about AAX DSP becoming unavailable through the dolby bridge setup... I guess they still need some sort of incentive for folks to invest in RMU and Mastering Suite workflow. |

I tried setting up an IAC bus but couldn't get it to work. I also tried sending the midi directly through physical midi I/O using a cable and a MOTU 4x4... and I tried output LTC via audio into Lockstep, which then converts that LTC audio to MTC. Lockstep received the LTC audio... but I have mixed results with the resulting MTC making it into the renderer. I'll keep fiddling with it and see if it sorts itself out... but even then, MTC isn't frame accurate. It is a very odd implementation from Avid. DAB means any Avid hardware, including Sync HD is redundant. I wonder what they have planned for the next year of HDX development, because as it currently stands it makes a lot more sense to install Audinate DVS and send audio from the Dolby Rendering suite straight to a Dante equipped monitor controller and call it a day!

Re: What brings Dolby Audio Bridge to HDX users?
Have you tried running a complex mix with all the bed an objects sources routed to DAB then recording that to 128ch beds and objects tracks on the same computer? I suspect this will be quite hard. But probably with new computer generations, such as the upcoming Mac Pro, HDX is on the way out. For now I guess running 128 channels of MADI or Dante between a playback an recording system might be the better option...
Greetings, Thierry

Re: What brings Dolby Audio Bridge to HDX users?
Have you tried deleting and re-adding the port in Audio MIDI setup. I've had to do that to get this working.
In Audio MIDI setup, MIDI Studio, IAC Driver, IAC Properties, Add and Remove port - delete the existing bus with the minus key, re-add with the plus key so it shows IAC Bus 1 and make sure Device is Online is checked. Go back to Pro Tools, Peripherals, Synchronization and set the Generator to IAC Bus 1. |
