expansion chasis help?
I got the older DD007-R 32 bits 7-slot expansion chasis. I want to use this with my HD Accel system. Does it make any different using the 32 bits verse with the Magma 64 bits expansion chasis?
thanks jt |

Re: expansion chasis help?
Got this from the Answerbase:
No, there is no need for a 64-bit chassis with Pro Tools|HD. We did qualify the Magma 64-bit chassis as part of our research and development effort, but we also qualified the two Digidesign chassis - both of which are 32-bit. So far, we have not seen any marked improvement in performance with a 64-bit chassis for Pro Tools. For all compatibility information: http://www.digidesign.com/compato/ kp

Sorry - I realized that the question is regarding HD|Accel, not just HD.

Re: expansion chasis help?
I am successfully using the DD023 13 slot chassis with HD3.5 (That is 1 HDcore, 2 HDaccel, 1 HDprocess).
I believe there is reduced track count at 192KHz SR using any chassis. Cheers, Chris

Re: expansion chasis help?
I can say for absolute sure that a 64 bit chassis works a Lot better in a G4 for Accel than a 32 bit chassis.
First I had 2 - 32 bit chassis SBS and a Digidesign/Magma. Both Worked OK for my Accel 7 system. But when I changed to a new 64 Bit Chassis it made a huge difference the PCI indicator went way down, Sessions that could hardly play on level 8 played at level 4 no problems. DSP loads faster too. I have a Dual 1.4 G4 and I love the 64 bit chassis it's worth every penny. |
