This chapter explains how to configure Pro Tools
for use with Pro Tools | HD MADI.
Hardware Setup

set the default sample rate (if no session is open)
and clock source for your system, and provides ac-
cess to a range of controls specific to each type of
audio interface.

sample rate when you create a new session. (This
setting is available in the Hardware Setup dialog
only when no session is open.)
To change the default Sample Rate for new
sessions:

Systems
With 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sample rates, as
many as four Pro Tools|HD cards can be used. Any
additional cards (up to the total system maximum
of seven cards) will switch to Inactive mode. The
cards and any attached peripherals will become ac-
tive again when the sample rate is set to 96 kHz or
lower. See the Pro Tools
Expanded Systems Guide
for more information.

Pro Tools, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
You can change the sample rate when creat-
ing a new Pro Tools session by selecting a dif-
