Avid Pro Tools® | HDX Core (PCIe card) is the hardware engine extension of Pro Tools | Ultimate™ software, delivering the DSP power, scalability, and reliable performance that make the most demanding music and audio post-production workflows possible.
With HDX Core as the basis of your Pro Tools | Ultimate system, you’re set to add some I/O and weave your magic. Don’t forget, if you’re not using a Windows or Mac ‘tower’, you’ll need to house HDX Core in a Thunderbolt 3 Chassis (either desktop or rack version).
Talk with us when it’s time to jump in and pick the best I/O for your studio situation – including HD I/O and/or MTRX Studio and more.
SCALE YOUR SYSTEM FOR ANY PROJECT
Whether tracking a 5-piece band, full orchestra, or re-recording a theatrical Dolby Atmos® mix, you can scale the system’s DSP and physical I/O to any project requirement. Connect multiple Pro Tools hardware I/O interfaces to a single 64-channel HDX card. Install up to three HDX cards in a single system for more demanding projects, supporting up to 768 voices and 192 I/O channels while delivering smooth, uninterrupted performance.
