Using digital Input on HD i/o
Good day my fine duc friends
I have a feeling my search attempts came up empty even though the answer to my question came up several times I would like to go out of my mac mini using a toslink cable and send it to my HDX converter to hopefully get my jams pumpin. I gave it a shot but after a minute I gave up...not really. So am I missing something on getting the audio into the converter and back out again? As far as that goes I don't even see the digital inputs anywhere in protools. I realize avid makes things so easy that a 4 year old should be able to fix this but I'm stumped Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Using digital Input on HD i/o
I do this at my studio Bob. It's easy.
You just need to designate a pair of inputs in the Hardware Setup page (or I/O) as Optical (S/PDIF)[ENCL]. The ENCL stands for Enclosure, as in the digital I/O that's past of the unit itself and not any of the cards. Should look like this. |

Re: Using digital Input on HD i/o
Good advice^^^ My solution; I use a Presonus central Station as my monitor/source controller and feed the optical SPDIF from my computer to one of the digital inputs on the SC. Works perfectly(and is only one of several niceties from the box)

Re: Using digital Input on HD i/o
Quote:
Make an Aux Track and assign its input to the pair you set to optical and its output to your monitor output. Ot you could find a solution like the one Dave mentioned. I used to have a CS years ago before I got the ICON and it worked very well. |

Re: Using digital Input on HD i/o
Drew this worked perfectly. I just made a session with nothing but a fader showing. I really don't even notice the extra step. Thank you for the help
