About PT HD9 and Magma

[matcorp]

Hi,
We just switched in our facility from a PT HD3 to an HD5 using a magma PCIe.
It work well with PT9, but I have two questions:

Is it a way to have more than 96 track in 88,2 with the HD5 ?
We'll need more tracks, so we'll upgrade next month to an HD7 with two more accel card, but how many tracks we will have ? (Always in 88,2)

Concidering buying another magma, how does it work to link the cards between both magma ? (flex-cable...)
I think we have to buy another Core card for the other magma, no ?


If someone can help me on this point,
Thank you.

Matt

2 PT's rigs separately locked.
But no to linking 2 chassis to for 1 lager rig.

Max-Voices are finite.

Are you talking about tracks in PT or audio ins and outs? They are 2 different things.

All protools cards should be in one expansion chassis.
For example when using 7slot expansion chassis you have to have one core card and the rest of the 6 accel / process cards installed in one chassis.

You cannot have Protools cards in separate places.
