Rosetta 800 – any firmware version; 192k sessions may not be run with a Rosetta 800 96k Four Steps to Getting Started 1 Install the X-HD card - To install the X-HD in your Apogee interface, please see page 2 Determine the best order of interfaces - As described on pages 3-4, the order in which Apogee interfaces are connected determines many details of your setup.
X-HD card – User’s Guide Clock Connections In an Apogee-equipped Pro Tools system the first interface serves as the clock master to the entire system, and may be set to Internal or External clock in Pro Tools Hardware Setup window. All remaining interfaces must receive a word clock signal synchronous with the first interface’s clock...
(Pro Tools PCI card installed in computer) Like Digidesign interfaces, the X-HD card is equipped with two ports, Primary and Expansion. Please note that the Primary Port on the X-HD card is the LEFT connector when looking from the back of the unit.
Pro Tools: 1 In Pro Tools, select Setup>Hardware. 2 From the Peripherals list on the left side of the Hardware Setup window, verify that Apogee interfaces have been detected correctly (as indicated in the Interface Connections Chart found on pages 10-16).
Important Configuration Notes: • Be sure to connect interfaces in the order indicated. • The Apogee AD-8000 and Trak2, not shown on the chart, are equivalent to a Rosetta 800. • The Rosetta 200 is equivalent to the Rosetta 800.
(per Digidesign Core, Process or Accel card) B1-16 When Advanced Option routing is enabled on AD16X or DA16Xs, the additional digital I/O accessible to the X-HD AD-16X #1 card causes the interfaces to be detected differently in the Pro Tools’ Hardware Setup page. For example, an AD...
