Default Can Avid Carbon(PRE) be used together with HDX ?

Might be a strange question but this way you can have a much higher I/O count than HDX can support by it's own (1 card = 64 IO's)

Might be done with the new AUX I/O ?

I'm not talking about the Carbon PRE although that might be the same way to connect them

Imagen this : :
  • HDX fully connected with 64 IO's and 18x DSP
  • Carbon connected with max 25 Inputs AND 8 additional DSP (dsp's might not work but would be great if they did to add more power)
  • + some Carbon PRE's connected to the AVB bus (might be possible through AUX /IO) lets say 4 PRE's = 32 MIC inputs

This would make it a whopping I/0 count of 121 I/0's (for whoever needs this amount)
But it would certainly be interesting to add he 8 DSP's power of carbon

Could this be done ???

with kind regards

Philippe

No.

First thing, no Aux I/O with classic HDX. Only hybrid HDX or CoreAudio.

Second, you can't aggregate the Carbon to the HDX CoreAudio. If you want the DSP processing, you don't get the other.

it's a pitty ;-(

but understandable due to the difficulty of programming such a process

but on the other hand you should be able to enlarge the IO/count (and loosing the Full DSP power but retaining Hybrid HDX)

Aux I/O has some limitations, like no delay compensation. So I’m not sure if I would use it for tracking anything critical.
