| Setup issue regarding Digi 192 and Apogee DA16x Setup issue:Digi192 and Apogee DA16x I've posted this thread on the Digidesign UC, I asked the people of Apogee at the last AES. I've also called Digidesign a few times on this, but so far, no anwers yet. Here;s our PT setup: 2 Digi 192 (total of 16 analog in, 32 analog out) 2 apogee DA16x (total of 32 analog out) 1 apogee big ben 1 Digi Sync First of all: PT sees the DA16s as Digi 192's with 8 analog outs and 8 digital outs. How can PT be setup so that at least it sees the apogee as a device with 16 analog outputs. Cause right now PT adds 39 samples to the so called 8 digital outs of every DA16. We don't use any hardware inserts. Everything goes straight to the analog console. But we do use ADC for the occasional plugin. Second is a clocking question: Big ben is the master clock - it outputs WC to all converters as well as to the Sync. The Sync itself receives SMPTE from the console (it has to be like that in order to use the console's transport controls to operate Pro Tools). But I've noticed on this forum that a bunch of users have the Sync as master clock and using the Big Ben only as a WC distributor. All The Best, Redsandblu |

| Hi ... I have a Digital 192 hooked up to a AD-16x and a DA-16x ... that works perfectly fine ... Apogee sells a special cable that splits the AES i/o to each unit. On the standard 192 however, they come with 8i/o analog, and 8i/o digital. So, If you want to hook up a DA-16x to that and get 16AES out, you need to buy the digital expansion card for the 192. As I am sure you know, a 192 can only send 16 i/o at a time. You can make a combination of analog and digital per interface, but only a total of 16i/o. So by running 16out to the DA-16x, you won't be able to run any analog outs. So, to run 2 DA-16x's, you would need 2 Digital 192's to get a total of 32 outs(AES). As for clocking? I have no idea. I know that apogee has a PDF for hooking up the Big Ben in a Protools environment. http://www.apogeedigital.com/pdf/con...protoolshd.pdf I hope that helps a bit Ian p.s. I am assuming that you are hooking the DA-16x's throught the digital i/o of the Digi 192 ... if you are using the Apogee X-cards, then forget what I just said. |

| er, it's not exactly setup like that: all our converters are used as DA only, no AD or DD. So the 192's each have one DA expansion card in order to have 16 analog outs per unit. Same for the Apogees: they both have a PT HD x-card, so they're directly interfacing with PT, without 192's between them. Hope this clarifies it a little. But the question still remains the same Redsandblu |
