| In
the world of audio production, Pro Tools® has grown
to become the digital audio workstation of choice for
professionals working in music, post-production, broadcast
and multimedia. Now, with a Grammy for Excellence in
Technical Achievement for Pro Tools|24 MIX systems,
Digidesign® is once again pushing the envelope in
the world of digital audio. Artists, engineers, mixers
and producers, brace yourselves for the best sounding,
most powerful Pro Tools system ever: Pro Tools|HD.
The
Systems
Pro
Tools|HD core systems are available in three sizes to
accommodate diverse needs: Pro Tools|HD 1,
Pro Tools|HD 2, and Pro Tools|HD 3.
Each Pro Tools|HD system requires at least one of the
new audio interfaces, such as the 192 I/O or the 96
I/O, and supports the use of legacy Pro Tools audio
interfaces for additional inputs and outputs. All Pro
Tools|HD systems come with the latest Pro Tools software,
and are modular in nature - allowing you to expand at
any time as your needs grow.

high-resolution audio interfaces, each offering
a wealth of analog and digital connections and unmatched
price/performance
- A
complete professional audio solution, including
audio interfaces, synchronization, MIDI,mic preamp
peripherals and more

Pro Tools HD2 Accel and HD3 Accel
Pro
Tools|HD Accel offers a fusion of unprecedented power,
ease-of-use, flexibility, and pristine sound quality.While
the HD Core card remains unchanged from original Pro
Tools|HD systems, the HD Accel card replaces the previous
generation HD Process cards, and may be added to any
Pro Tools|HD system to supercharge its processing power
and provide access to new, HD Accel-optimized plug-ins
and features. Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel and HD
3 Accel systems feature the HD Core card and one
or two HD Accel cards, respectively.The HD Core card
serves as the central processing hub of the HD environment,
featuring twice the DSP processing power of Digidesign's
older MIX Core card and support for up to 32 channels
of I/O with Digidesign audio interfaces.The HD Accel
card offers nearly double the processing muscle of HD
Process cards, four times that of MIX Farm cards, and
exclusively supports next-generation professional plug-ins.
On top of that, don't forget that you've got plenty
of power from the host computer available to accommodate
additional plug-ins or applications.
Pro
Tools|HD 2 Accel includes an HD Core card, an HD Accel
card, and support for up to 64 channels of I/O with
Pro Tools audio interfaces. Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel -
representing the very best savings of the three available
Pro Tools|HD core systems - includes the HD Core card,
two HD Accel cards, and provides support for up to
96 channels of I/O.
Pro
Tools|HD 2 Accel and 3 Accel support up to 192 simultaneous
audio tracks at 44.1/48 kHz sample rates, 96 tracks
at 88.2/96 kHz sample rates, and 36 tracks at 176.4/192
kHz (Accel
card required).
Features
- New
HD Accel PCI cards deliver nearly 2x the DSP power
of first-generation Pro Tools|HD cards (and nearly
4x that of Pro Tools|24 MIX)
- Up
to 50% increase in voice count at all supported
sample rates (Accel card required)
- Compatible
with Pro Tools|HD - add HD Accel cards to supercharge
any Pro Tools|HD system
