Frequently Asked Questions
Does this system require a Pro Tools HDX PCIe card installed inside a computer?
No. This rackmount system uses Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, so it connects externally to a compatible computer without needing an internal PCIe slot.
What audio I/O does the HD Omni interface provide?
The HD Omni is a versatile interface offering analog inputs and outputs, digital I/O (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, ADAT), and dedicated monitor and headphone outputs, all in a single rackmount unit.
Is a Pro Tools software license included with this system?
Yes. Pro Tools HDX systems include a Pro Tools software license, giving you access to Avid's flagship DAW alongside the HDX processing hardware.
Can I expand the I/O by connecting additional Avid interfaces?
Yes. The HDX system supports daisy-chaining additional HD-series interfaces such as the HD I/O or additional HD Omni units to scale your input and output count.
What is the advantage of HDX processing over native Pro Tools?
HDX offloads audio processing from your computer's CPU to dedicated DSP chips, providing lower latency, higher track counts, and more consistent performance during large or plugin-heavy sessions.
