HDX Card Installation Guide 6
DigiLink Mini Ports
The HDX card provides two DigiLink Mini ports
for connecting up to four HD audio interfaces
for up to 64 channels of audio input and output.
DigiSerial Port
The Serial port on the HDX card is for connect-
ing a SYNC peripheral. This connector is an
8-pin mini-DIN.
HDX TDM Cable
Use the included HDX TDM cable (a SATA ca-
ble) to connect a pair of HDX cards in your sys-
tem so they can share data along the TDM bus.
One HDX TDM cable comes with each HDX card.
Power Cable
HDX PCIe cards require power beyond what the
PCIe bus can deliver. A custom power cable
(included) is used to connect HDX PCIe cards to
the motherboard in your Mac or to a hard drive
power source in your PC.
The Serial port on an HDX card does not sup-
port MachineControl connections.
If you have more than one HDX card with a
SYNC peripheral, you must connect the SYNC
peripheral to the first card in the system.
