If required, Delta‐Link MADI HD can be rackmounted. It occupies 1U of rack space in a standard
19‐inch rack.
It is assumed that your Pro Tools HD system is already installed in the host computer (Windows
PC or MAC OS X).
1. In a typical setup, please connect Primary Port A of the Delta‐Link MADI HD to the
Primary Port of your HD Core card and Primary Port B of the Delta‐Link MADI HD to the
Primary Port of your first HD Accel card via DigiLink cables. Technically, any Primary Port
of the Delta‐Link MADI HD is compatible with any Primary Port of a Pro Tools HD
system. However, connecting Primary Ports A and B of the Delta‐Link MADI HD to
consecutively numbered Primary Ports of the Pro Tools HD system is preferable in order to
maintain clarity when working in the I/O Setup page of the Pro Tools software.
WARNING ! : Do not connect or disconnect the Delta‐Link MADI HD to/from the Pro Tools
cards while the Pro Tools software is running.
2. Connect the mains cable to the Mains connector of the Delta‐Link MADI HD .
3. External devices may now be connected to the MADI inputs and outputs.
4. Power up the computer that hosts your Pro Tools system, and power up the Delta‐Link
