Default Digidesign Digital 192 I/O internal 50 pin cables

Hi,
I purchased used Digital 192 I/O with two AES cards installed. It works well. I've just bought two additional AES Expansion cards.When I installed that cards I found only two 50 pin flex cables inside which are already connected. Where can I find 50 pin flex cables or how can I substitute it?

I don't think you can add cards to a 192D

Why not? It has four 50 pin connectors on "mother" board. Now only two are used. As I know Digital 192 I/O can support four AES cards. Where am I wrong?

1-ad slot 1-da slot 1-digital and 1-spare option slot that you put the 2nd digital card that's it.

I see. I found in User's guide that two free slots are not expandable. Bad news (

There is Analog 192 I/O with four empty slots for sale. I've got two AES expansion cards. Will it work with only two AES cards installed in slots 3 and 4?
I have HD Native card and use it with Digital 192 I/O. I also use Apogee Big Ben as a master clock source. I'm going to connect Analog 192 with two AES cards as a slave with Digital 182 I/o by digilink cable and take word clock signal from Apogee Big Ben. Is this correct? Will I get 32 digital channels?

It will work with two cards installed.

I have a 192 Analog with just the digital card (needs one more). If you're interested shoot me an offer. I don't need it anymore.

Can I use Analog 192 I/O in configuration: 1DA output + 1DA output + 1Digital + 1 Digital or 1DA output + 1Digital+ 1Digital + 1 Digital?

You can only have 16 active I/O per interface at any given time. The maximum per HD/Accel card is 32-I/O done by having a 2nd interface connected via the expansion port on the first device. That's it!

The 192HDs that we have (and there are 3 for sale if you're interested) have 2-AES cards as well as the built-in analog I/O. You may use variations, i.e. feed analog out 1/2 as well as AES out 1, which is how we used it.

Setup within PT still sees it as ONE OUTPUT, yet you're feeding an analog and digital hose with the same signal. You can't have 16-AES outs and 8-analog outs selectable from different sources.

I see...

Then, I need another help.
I received an ANALOG 192 I/O chassis without any slots some days ago and inslalled two AES cards in its slots 3 and 4 . So, I've got 192 Digital I/O and ANALOG 192 I/O.
I tried to connect the last one by different ways but it is not recognized by HD Native card and AVID Core audio manager.

Here is the types of connection used

HD NC port 1 ---> 192 Digital I/O Primary Port while AES card 1 and 2 ADAT Light pipe OUTS ----> SSL Alpha LINK ADAT IN 1 and 2 --- works well.

I connected 192 ANALOG I/O by the same cable:
HD NC port 1 ---> 192 ANALOG I/O Primary Port while AES card slot 3 and 4 ADAT OUTS ----> SSL Alpha LINK ADAT IN 1 and 2 --- doesn't work.

I also tried:
HD NC port 1 ---> 192 Digital I/O Primary Port with AES card 1 and 2 ADAT OUTS ----> SSL Alpha LINK ADAT IN 1 and 2 and simultaneosly connect
192 digital I/O Digital Expansion port -------> 192 Analog Primary port with AES card slot 3 ADAT OUT----> SSL Alpha LINK ADAT IN 3
and
192 I/O Digital loop Sync Out -------> 192 Analog Loop sync In + 192 ANALOG I/O loop Sync Out -------> 192 DIGITAL I/O Loop sync In
That doesn't work.

Where was I wrong? Does it suppot my suggestion that 192 Analog I/O is broken? Or should I do something else what I don't know? I suppose that 192 Analog I/O should work without AD or DA cards installed, shouldn't it?
