We are upgrading a couple of studios the HDX + HDi/os in the next days. One of them currently runs 48 analogue i/os with 6 x 96i/os and that old G5 is about to die any minute now.
Since the studio is very busy at the moment, I was considering to just swap the computers and keep the PT10HDX system running with the 96 i/o for a while until we find the time to solder all the connections for the new interfaces.
My understanding is that one HDX card supports 4 interfaces, not 6. Well, this could be workable for a while.
My question is: Does HDX run with blue interfaces?
The avid website is a little unclear about that:
The
HDX system requirements link to the page for
required Pro Tools|HD Audio Interfaces . The 96i/os are on the list, thus suggesting to work with HDX.
However, the
HDX product page doesn't state the 96i/o in the 'supported interface' list. I wonder if this is just for marketing (who wants to promote a discontinued product?) or is it actually not supported?
Does anyone run HDX with blue interfaces successfully? Any tips?
Much appreciated!
