Avid hd native thunderbolt question
So just to double check. I need pro tools ultimate and the digilink i/o license to run my hd i/o with my avid hd native thunderbolt box. Can't use standard version pt 12 with digilink i/o license?

Pro Tools HD prior to 12.6 did not need the DigiLink IO license to work with a DigiLink interface. HD/Ultimate has always been required. |

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Hi all, I have a new iMac 2019 OS 10.14.6 and running PT 12.5. I tried connecting my HD Native Thunderbolt through a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptor. There is no light at all on my hardware. I believe even there is no driver the hardware should have a connection? Please advice.

Hi, welcome to the community.
Yes the power light should be lit when the TB box has power connection.

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Why a TB3-TB2?
you need the opposite for the HDN Box. TB1 to TB3 as the iMac is TB3 and HDN is TB1. I dont think that adaptor will work but I could be wrong of course.

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
TB1/TB2 is same connector, whether the connection speed is TB one or two depends on the boxes -- if one of them (in this case HDN) is TB1 then the speed is TB1, if both are TB2 then speed is TB2. But the connector is just the same.

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
Got it! I know how TB speeds work. We use TB interfaces daily but the OP said he used a TB3 to TB2 adaptor which is wrong if he wanna use a TB1 to TB3 connection here.
HDN = TB1 iMac = TB3 So he needs a TB1/TB2 to TB3 connection.

Apple-centric labelling of an adapter that I suppose is bidirectional, but man does it mess with my OCD... like when someone explains audio connections in the opposite direction to signal flow. Monitors are plugged into the monitor controller with XLR cables and the monitor controller is plugged into the interface...

Re: Avid hd native thunderbolt question
