PT8 HD3 doesn't see pres connected via optical
Any old timers here running PT Version 8 HD3 ? I have 2 96io w/ 2 AVID PRES feeding the analogue and 2 x 8 pres connected with ADAT(optical) to each 96io. I have 1 core card, 2 process and 3 accel cards in a Magma expansion chassis. The 96ios are connected w/expansion to primary ports.Checked hardware settings and selected "optical", selected the digital inputs A9-A16 and B25-B32 ... What am i doing wrong. Is it possible to have 32 inputs with 2 96ios and 2 optical in preamps? Thanks for your feedback .... I'm having serious bran farts.

Re: PT8 HD3 doesn't see pres connected via optical
It's hard to understand exactly what you've done but I have an idea where you've gone wrong. Post a screenshot of the hardware setup page for each Digi96. Just the first "tab".
Also, how are the Digi 96 configured? If looking from the back there are four module slots: A B C D What's in each slot? Also, what are the pres that are hooked to the Digi96 via ADAT?

Re: PT8 HD3 doesn't see pres connected via optical
He wrote he has 2 Avid Pre connected to 2xDigi96 so guessing thats them

Re: PT8 HD3 doesn't see pres connected via optical
Avid Pres have no optical connection which is why I asked. They are strictly analogue devices, in fact.
(Part of the reason I find the OP’s post hard to follow. Only those who have used those pres would immediately see something is left out.)

Edit: he says he has 2 more preamps connected via optical so my guess is he uses the Avid pres for analog and another pair of 8 pres that has opticalz sorry if I confused you here. I read it like he had the Avid pres only.

Hi, Would need to be set to S/Pdif and bring the pres in on inputs 9-16 (optical 1-8 from the pres) to each P6 i/o... And make sure you're using the correct optical input on the back of the 96 Chris

Re: PT8 HD3 doesn't see pres connected via optical
Thanks guys .... this is one of those cases where I don't mind feeling like an idiot. In the end it was the hardware section and I had selected (optical)spdif because I didn't see ADAT anywhere ... which of course disabled the "optical" option in the hardware selection. Total newb gaff. All is good and up and running 32 inputs woohoo. You have all been very helpful and your feedback is very much appreciated.
