List of third-party Digilink interfaces?

[Matt Hepworth]

Wondering if there's a resource somewhere that lists all the HD Digilink devices. I searched the net a bit, but didn't find any.

Here's what I'm aware of:

Lynx
Aurora 16
Aurora 8

Apogee
Symphony I/O
Symphony I/O mk II
X-HD for 16X and Rosetta 800
AMBUS HD for AD8000 and Track 2

Burl
B80
B16

Mytek
8X192

Prism
Titan
ADA-8XR

DAD
AX32
AX24

iZ
Radar ADA II

Focusrite
Red 4Pre
Red 8Pre
Rednet Link

SSL
Delta Madilink

Other than Avid's of course, I think you've got them all.

Focusrite RedNet 5 (for Dante networks) uses DigiLink.

I thought that I was supposed to get the License to use 3rd party devices as I am a registered owner of an HD3, PTHD 11, Omni user.

Have I misunderstood the way this works?

You get the license when you upgrade to 12.6. There's no point in you getting it otherwise since you don't need it.

I guess I misunderstood, I thought that they ware grandfathering in folks with previous registered systems, so in the event, they moved to a later version. I currently have 2 192 I/O's, and Avid Omni and a Lynx Aurora 16 in my studio. I thought I'd be covered if at some point I moved to HDX and the most recent version of PTHD.

If they think for one second I would have to pay 1k to upgrade to the latest PTHD version, and an additional $300 just to keep using my Aurora 16, what are they thinking? Further alienation!

I truly hope I have misunderstood all of this.

Nope. As I said, you get the license when/if you upgrade. It does you no good without 12.6, no point in giving it to you before then.

The DigiLink I/O license is supposed to come with the 12.6 upgrade (download) In my case, it did not... my legacy "Blue" 192 will not work with PT 12.6 without it. Been trying to get support from Avid but there has been no response as of yet.

Also, of note and caution to others, I had the 192 connected when I started up PT 12.6... didn't know the DigiLink license was not part of the PT 12.6 download package... upon install and launch of PT 12.6 I got an AAE -1125 error and then within the next 30 seconds came a screaming horrible static sound out of the 192 and every LED on the device was brightly pegged to the last LED... thought I toasted it but it's Ok running with my old rig. Don't know if I toasted the HDX card yet... aargh I got the Upgrade Blues™.

One important one missing from the list there is Merging Technologies HORUS.

I'm running HORUS with a PT64 card which gives me DigiLink, in addition to being able to run a completely native mix engine via Ravenna/AES67.

It's nice to not lose a ton of voices in a 5.1 mix every time I use a Native plugin on an Aux or Master Fader, and still have all my AES Hardware Inserts hanging off of HORUS.

I'm building a Mobile rig with Sonnet EchoExpress-iii, with Sonnet SATA card inside (SSD's on card), with HDX-2. MacBook Pro Retina 15", with 10-metre Optical Thunderbolt Cable and CAT6. Gives me ability to put Sonnet/HDX/HORUS out on the floor, and run a line into Control Room to Laptop.

32 Inputs and 16 Outputs at 192kHz, two DigiLink PT64 cards.

Audio Heaven.
