Primary Port A / Primary Port B

Each Pro Tools® HD port provides 32 input and output channels, regardless of sample rate.

MADI A / MADI B

The two MADI ports provide up to 64 input and output channels, depending on sample rate. Both MADI interfaces are fibre optic using SC-type connectors; we offer a separate external MADI coaxial to optical converter solution to interface Delta-Link MADI HD into coaxial systems.

USB

The USB interface can be used to control various settings of the Delta-Link MA DI HD hardware and to update the internal firmware. This interface is USB 1.0 compliant and uses a Style-A USB connector.

WordClock In

This input must be used to supply a clock reference signal to the Delta-Link MADI HD.

Power

The unit is powered by an internal, auto-switching power supply. The connector is an IEC 320 type.
