Initializing MIX-Series Legacy I/Os
Before you can configure a Legacy I/O on a
Pro Tools|HD system, it must first be initialized
in Hardware Setup.
Before turning on your Legacy I/O, make
sure to lower the volume of your output de-
vices. Very loud digital noise may be emit-
ted before the Legacy I/O is initialized.
To initialize a Legacy I/O on a Pro Tools|HD
system:
Choose Setup > Hardware.
1
From the Peripherals list, choose the primary
2
audio interface (the Pro Tools|HD interface to
which your Legacy I/O is connected).
In the Main page of the Hardware Setup dia-
3
log, select the Legacy I/O option under Port Set-
tings.
In the Peripherals list, "No Interface" is listed
4
twice, directly below the primary audio inter-
face. Click the first No Interface. An Interface
pop-up menu appears in the Hardware Setup di-
alog, listing supported I/O choices.
From the Interface pop-up menu, select the
5
type of Legacy I/O connected to your
Pro Tools|HD audio interface.
54 Pro Tools Reference Guide
After you select the type of Legacy I/O, the Main
page updates with controls that can be config-
ured. If your Legacy interface does not appear,
check connections and repeat from step 1,
above. See also "Offline Peripherals" on page 54.
Repeat the above steps for each additional
6
Legacy I/O.
For information on Hardware Setup controls
for each Legacy I/O, refer to the guide for that
interface.
To remove a Legacy I/O:
Lower the volume of your output devices.

Legacy I/O.
Offline Peripherals
When a Legacy I/O and Pro Tools|HD peripheral
are connected to your primary Pro Tools|HD pe-
ripheral, only one can be online at a time. An of-
fline peripheral is indicated by brackets in the
Peripherals list of the Hardware Setup dialog. For
example, if you have a 96 I/O and an 882|20
connected to a 192 I/O, and the 96 I/O is offline,
it will appear in the Peripherals list as [96 I/O].
Peripherals will also go offline if the audio inter-
face or card to which they are attached is made
inactive.
