Compatibility You Can Count On
The HDX Engine matches its phenomenal performance with rock-solid reliability. A second FPGA guarantees 256 voices per PCIe card. And it streams audio to and from your host CPU at uniform 32-bit float precision, preserving the highest possible audio quality throughout the system’s gain structure. So when the work is mission critical and you press record, you’re backed by exceptional, unwavering capability. You can depend on it.

DigiLink and DigiSerial. High-Performance Ports.

Made for Each Other
HDX Systems combine immense performance with simplicity through deep integration. It starts with Pro Tools Ultimate. And as you build out your system, you will always work in this one software environment. Faster and more creatively. With each component – software, DSP acceleration, and hardware I/O – perfectly joined together as one system.

The Hybrid Engine

AAX DSP. Hybrid Effects.
AAX DSP plugins give you the best of both worlds. DSP when you need it. Native processing when you don’t. And because an HDX System operates with uniform precision, they sound equally brilliant in both domains. Record in real time with DSP power. Then switch to native mode and use the same plugins. With or without your HDX hardware attached. All in Pro Tools.

Architected To Go All Out
With the ability for 64-bit double precision processing, the AAX plugin architecture delivers unmatched dynamic range and sound quality. Because a single plugin can access both low- and high-latency signal networks, CPU intensive effects run with incredible efficiency. This translates to creative freedom, so you can use the plugins you want, when you want. And have total confidence your system can keep up.

An Open Platform. And Growing!
Pro Tools Ultimate comes with over 70 AAX DSP plugins. But the universe of AAX DSP effects extends way beyond that with over 250 plugins available (and growing!) from the most respected plugin manufacturers in audio.

Powerful Modular I/O
HDX Systems are customizable and expandable. With a wide range of interfaces and connectivity options, you can assemble your ideal combination of I/O, monitoring, routing, and speaker tuning capabilities. Designed for the highest sound quality, flexible for any workflow, and adaptable to your needs.

Specifications:

DSP Processing:

• 8 x 350 MHz TI processors per HDX card
• (6.3 GHz aggregated processing)

Latency*

• 0.7ms

Simultaneous Voices/Audio Tracks**

• @ 48 / 96 / 192 kHz – 256 / 128 / 64
• HDX Classic: scalable up to 768 @ 48 kHz with three HDX cards
• HDX Hybrid Engine: 2,048 at all sample rates

Channels of I/O

• 64 channels of DigiLink I/O
• Scalable up to 192 channels with three HDX cards

Automatic Delay Compensation for Hardware Inserts

• 16,383 Samples

Processing Depth

• 32-Bit Floating Point

Mixer Depth

Software Requirements

• Pro Tools Ultimate

* – Latency calculated using a 96 kHz sample rate with a 64-sample buffer. Tests run using Pro Tools | HDX and Pro Tools | HD Native with Pro Tools | HD I/O.
** – Audio tracks based on sample rates of 48/96/192 kHz, respectively. Installing additional cards will increase track counts to the maximum allowable.

BONUS! Purchase Option: Add a Pro Tools ¦ HDX Thunderbolt 3 Chassis to house your HDX Card In for $549 – Regularly $599.

Leveraging the patented DigiSerial Port technology connection to Pro Tools | HDX or HD Native, Sync X enables precise sync between audio sample position and video frame edge. In multi-operator mixing environments, where dialogue, music, and sound effects are handled by separate systems, that means all of your audio and video devices will sync and play at precisely the exact same spot you intended. Every time you press play or record.

Features include:

Sync Up All Your Devices

Cut Costs with the Built-In Reference Generator

Streamline Dual-Operator Workflows
Sync X enables each Satellite-linked Pro Tools system to sync in tandem to support multi-operator mixing environments, where dialogue, music, and sound effects are handled by separate systems. This eliminates any possible drift to maintain near sample-accurate lock to frame edge.

Control Sync X and other devices from Pro Tools
From configuring your audio clock and video reference sources, to selecting pull down rates and fine-tuning device speeds, all Sync X settings can be controlled directly in Pro Tools Ultimate. It also offers a 9-pin connection, enabling you to control other devices from Pro Tools, like a video deck.

Exceptional Durability & Reliability
Designed to shine in the most mission critical environments, Sync X consistently delivers the tight frame edge sync you need with unwavering accuracy. And its high-fidelity, low-jitter clock preserves the quality of your signals for pristine audio capture and playback.

Lock to Sources Fast & Flawlessly
With exceptionally low jitter JetPLL clocking technology, Sync X locks to external sources faster and more accurately than its predecessor, Pro Tools | SYNC HD (compare Sync X vs. SYNC HD). Its master oscillator runs at 100 MHz—a double resolution implementation that’s twice as fast as typical JetPLL-based clocks. And twice as accurate.

Get flexibility with 10 MHz and AES3id I/O
When working on scoring stages and other demanding recording situations where immaculate sound is a mandate, Sync X easily locks to high-end atomic master clocks through its 10 MHz clock input. In environments that require long cable runs, such as across large post facilities, you can send or receive AES3 or AES3id signal to supported devices, giving you greater flexibility.

Keep Cool When Production Gets Hot
Temperature fluctuations can affect a device’s pitch. With a temperature-compensated oscillator, Sync X always provides reliable clocking – even as temperatures vary – maintaining frequency accuracy to within ±1 part per million over its rated temperature range to keep things pitch perfect. And it can be racked up with other gear without fear that the heat will cause it to drift.
