Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Its a Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. My iMac System Information states no device connected. I tested it by chaining a Thunderbolt 1/2 to FW adaptor on my old Mbox 2 Pro and there is connection. So I am hesitant if I should get a 12v adaptor just to make sure my HDN is working.

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
when you say no device connected... is a device showing up listed under Thunderbolt but not identified as a HD Native because you have not installed the correct device drivers yet? If you are unsure post a screen shot.
new or used?/where did the HD Native Thunderbolt box come from and do you know for sure it works at all? why are you running Pro Tools 12 on Mojave? I am surprised that works at all. what exact HD driver version have you installed? If from Pro Tools 12.5 HD uh... who knows if that will work on Mojave. confirm your iMac has a Pro Tools HD not Pro Tools standard license. when you upgrade to a supported version of Pro Tools Ultimate you will need a digilink license in addition to the Pro Tools license. Discussed lots on DUC in the past. |

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Although I'm using the Apple TB2/TB3 adapter for my HDN Thunderbolt (a TB1 device that I've had no issues with) into a TB3 connection, I have seen info that the Apple adapter works in both directions. I personally have not used it as such, so anyone with info to the contrary chime in. Also I've had no issues needing an external power supply for the HDN Thunderbolt either with my 2015 rMBP or the TB3 port on the z390 Designare/i9, both running 10.14.6 and 2019.12 Ultimate.

The glaring issue I would suspect is not running a supported configuration. Most easily tested if that is needed by doing a quick test of a supported config, using a eval or monthly rental of Pro Tools Ultimate if needed. If that does not work this is an intersting problem to help solve, if not... |

iTunes plays through the interface just fine so the driver is current. I partitioned my drive and still have 10 running on the other side. Am I going to have to switch to 10 every time I want to use my interface? |

This has always been the case with HD interfaces and systems, and is nothing new. You may want to consider buying one of the still available (at Sweetwater) Protools Ultimate Reinstatement plans. That will upgrade you to Protools Ultimate while allowing you to keep your license for HD10. At least I'm pretty sure. Contact Sweetwater for more info. |

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
It is well documented that these nice Avid HD interfaces require HD / Ultimate software

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Been rock solid on my PT10 HD system for years so never had the need to look into these well documented instances. Only just discovered this yesterday.
