Default Digidesign 96io with Avid Omni?

I'm pretty sure it's possible to hang a digi192 interface on the legacy port of the avid omni, but is this also the case with the 96io? I don't see why not but I need to know for certain...is anyone working this setup?
sorry if the answer is already here somewhere - I can't find it.
Thanks M

Actually maybe it needs to go on the 2nd port of the hdx card..?

You can connect to 2nd digilink of the card, or you can daisy-chain it with the first one. The only restriction is you cannot have more than one OMNI but other HD interfaces can be mixed as you wish.

"LEGACY" port is for MIX era black interfaces.

No problem.

Have to add that the Legacy Port might not work on current Avid-branded PT software any longer, but at least it did with DigiDesign (pre-9) versions. In that case, when you selected Legacy port from hardware setup, the wordclock i/o (normally standard 1x clock) begins to feed 256x superclock needed for MIX interfaces. And obviously you are limited to 48k max.

Hi All!

With the OMNI and Digidesign 96io set up...

- Confirming the 96 i/o is connected to the expansion port on the OMNI?
- Is a Mini Digi-link to Digi-link adapter also required to connect the 96 i/o?
- Is a BNC connection required for Loop Sync?
- Possible to clock the whole system off the 96 i/o?

Thanks so much in advance! Apologies if this was answered. I can't find these specific questions.

DigiDesign interfaces have the old connector so yes adapter is needed. And tes you need to set up loop sync any time you have more than one interface connected

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Possible to clock the system to Digi 96 once set up?

Any known issues with PT 2020.x?

Why would you want to use the 96 clock that is not as good as OMNI?

Set up your OMNI as clock master, after that 96 replicates that clock and yes you can use the 96 clock outputs just like OMNI clock putputs
