Avid Hd I/o 8 X 8 X 8 Interface
 
What is HD I/O?
HD I/O is a high-performance Pro Tools HD Series audio interface that’s designed to completely integrate with Pro Tools|HD systems. The interface features premium A/D and D/A conversion and advanced circuitry, giving you pristine sound quality and clarity and the lowest possible latency. Plus, with three configurations to choose from and a modular design, you can expand and customize the interface for your connection needs.
 
HD I/O 8x8x8
The perfect choice when you need a balance of analog and digital I/O for your music or post-production projects, with the option to expand your I/O.
High-quality analog I/O:
8 analog inputs (using DB25)
8 analog outputs (using DB25)
Versatile digital I/O:
8 channels of AES/EBU I/O (supports 192 kHz single-wire and dual-wire)
8 channels of TDIF I/O
8 channels of ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)
Additional digital I/O:
2 channels of AES/EBU I/O (supports 192 kHz singlewire)
2 channels of S/PDIF I/O
8 channels of ADAT I/O (supports S/MUX II and IV)
One empty bay for I/O expansion
 
Whether you work with music or sound for picture, HD I/O gives you professional - grade audio quality, high performance conversion, and the flexibility to integrate with a variety analog and digital gear, so you can quickly adapt the interface to meet whatever need comes your way.
 
Key features
Pristine audio clarity and ultra low latency through state-of-the- art A/D and D/A conversion, premium analog circuitry, and meticulous attention to design
Adapt the interface for your needs—choose from three configurations:
Get a balance of analog and digital I/O with HD I/O 8x8x8
Maximize your analog I/O with HD I/O 16x16 Analog
Go all digital with HD I/O 16x16 Digital
Versatile digital I/O on all interfaces, with built-in sample rate conversion
Expand or customize the I/O with analog or digital option cards
Completely integrates with Pro Tools|HD family system for full input, output, and routing control
Track hotter signals and smooth out sounds with Curv, a new built-in soft-knee limiter
Keep things in sync with dedicated Word Clock and Loop Sync I/O
Keep an eye on your levels easily through 32 4-segment metering LEDs
Robust 2U rack-mountable chassis
Connects to Pro Tools|HD family system through a DigiLink Mini connection (cable and adaptor included)
 
Hear what you’ve been missing
A sonic improvement over its audio interface predecessors, HD I/O features premium A/D and D/A conversion, so you can achieve higher audio fidelity, extensive dynamic range, super-low jitter, and the absolute lowest possible latency in your sessions. With certain configurations, you also get built-in sample rate conversion and a soft clip feature for worry-free recording. And using Curv, a new built-in soft-knee limiter that catches even the fastest transients, you can track hotter signals and smooth out inconsistent levels from incoming sources.
 
The ultimate in interface flexibility
As your needs grow or change, you can easily add more analog inputs, analog outputs, or digital I/O by installing an option card. You can install one option card in HD I/O 8x8x8 and up to two in HD I/O 16x16 Digital. While HD I/O 16x16 Analog comes with the maximum four cards, you can customize your I/O by swapping out any card.
 
Work with Pro Tools and more
HD I/O and all other Pro Tools, HD Series interfaces completely integrate with Pro Tools|HD, so you get maximum performance, dependability, and control of your inputs, outputs, and routing right from your Pro Tools software interface. You'll also get higher production quality and greater workflow flexibility than with previous Pro Tools interfaces. And if you want to use your interface with Pro Tools| HD and other DAW software, you can do that too, as all Pro Tools|HD systems support Core Audio and ASIO drivers.
 
All configurations of HD I/O work with the following host audio systems:
 
Avid-qualified Pro Tools|HD family system running Pro Tools HD 8.1 or higher software
Avid-qualified Pro Tools|HD family system running a Core Audio or ASIO compliant application
