HD Native Thunderbolt
I picked up a Native interface that just had the 12v power adapter included. When I plug in the power adapter, I see no green LED light on. Does the HD Native require being plugged into thunderbolt or digilink cable to display the power LED?

Re: HD Native Thunderbolt
You actually don't use the power adapter. It's TB powered.

Re: HD Native Thunderbolt
And you need a Avid Interface and a HD license to use the thunderbolt box and its not a interface, just a pcie card in a box, do you have a Avid interface to connect?

Re: HD Native Thunderbolt
So the green LED will not light up from the power adapter alone? What is the purpose of it then? From sweetwater it says:
Q: The Avid HD Native Thunderbolt interface has a power supply connector, but can it run on bus power? A: Yes, the HD Native Thunderbolt interface will run off of Thunderbolt bus power. If you prefer, you could choose to run it off of an external power supply. |

I had a TB port on a early 2011 MbP that did not supply power, a quite common problem I believe.

And to do anything at all, even to use the headphone output. You need... 1. Computer with compatible Thunderbolt connection. 2. Digilink interface connected. 3. Pro Tools installed with a Pro Tools HD license, standard Pro Tools is deliberately crippled so that it will not work with Digilink interfaces. (A setup may work with third party CoreAudio/ASIO compatible audio programs, where I'm being generous with "may" and "work"). If after connecting all this you still have problems start by running Digitest. |

Re: HD Native Thunderbolt
Ahh ok, so the LED is not a power LED, it is a connection LED. Makes sense! Thank you all!

Re: HD Native Thunderbolt
If that's the case can i simply take that card out of my thunderbolt box and put it in my mac pro instead of buying a hdn card?
