Digidesign Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel Systems Core System For PCI

Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel Systems Core System For PCI description:

The Digidesign PROTOOLS HD3 ACCEL Core System For PCI. Gives music and post professionals the rock-solid performance of the TDM platform along with more dedicated DSP for plug-in processing.

The Digidesign PROTOOLS HD3 ACCEL system supports extremely large and complex sessions by leveraging the power-on-demand capabilities of three dedicated DSP cards (this version PCI) connected via Digidesign’s proprietary TDM II bus architecture. The most powerful of the base Core systems, Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel combines those specialized DSP cards with the processing resources of your computer to deliver awesome audio performance, large track counts, and impressive plug-in processing power. To help you take advantage of that power, the Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel system also includes the largest number of Digidesign and Digidesign Development Partner effects and instrument plug-ins as part of the free HDpack collection. Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel offers the best starting point for building an expanded system. Create the ultimate, most flexible mixing workstation at any time by adding more DSP cards and a Digidesign Expansion|HD expansion chassis. Note: All Pro Tools|HD systems require the presence of at least one Pro Tools|HD audio interface (purchased separately). Add interfaces to extend your I/O capabilities.
