What's the difference between HD Native and HDX?
1. Plug in count
2. One can use 3 HDX cards but only one Native card That's it Am I wrong? Does the HDX card have a larger maximum delay compensation? Does the HDX contribute to the mix engine? Does the HDX contribute more voices? Thanks!

Re: What's the difference between HD Native and HDX?
Delay comp is the same for both systems, with PT HD 10.
Each HDX card can do 256 tracks. So one would be the same as HD Native, which is also 256 tracks with PTHD10 (not with HD9). The advantage being that with HDX you can expand up to 3 cards, with HD Native, you can't. For most music users, 256 should be adequate. Post Production users on large projects may appreciate the larger track count. HDX handles both mixing and plugins, with the option to offload some processing to the computer. HD Native handles neither of those. What HD Native handles is the I/O, which still takes a significant load off the computer, allowing you to run larger track counts/plugins at lower buffers than you could with the typical firewire/usb interface. It also allows lower latency at the same buffer than those interfaces for the same reason. |

Thanks for the replies
Is this info anywhere on AVID's site?

Re: What's the difference between HD Native and HDX?
IM running a native card on a 12 core mac pro.
I use the aviams to provide multiple head phone mixes per person recording (we have 5 boxes) This set up allows me to have almost zero latency while tracking at 64 buffer with plug ins on... Check out the Aviams, its a great way to have customer controlled headphone mixes without relying on host or cards. and its cheaper. |

By tracking with a 64 buffer, he still can track with plugins, just like LE users can.

In any case, I'm still interested in exactly what he's sourcing the Avioms from. best, rich

Re: What's the difference between HD Native and HDX?
This is a HUGE bonus for HDX systems. Not only the overall lower latency to start with, but the fact that sessions with extremely large track counts running countless plug-ins will NEVER have to have the buffer size bumped (thereby losing low latency) to compensate for the increased load on the CPU. HDX users will also never have to deal with the "zero latency" hardware workarounds.
