The Avid Pro Tools HD/TDM System Trade Up to HDX Core with Pro Tools | Ultimate Perpetual License lets you trade in your legacy HD/TDM System for a Pro Tools | HDX Core card, a full perpetual license version of Pro Tools | Ultimate (offered as a download), and a 3-year Software Updates and Support Plan.

The Pro Tools | HDX PCIe card brings high-speed PCIe connectivity to your Pro Tools | Ultimate system to nearly eliminate latency and provide 64 channels of simultaneous I/O at 24-bit / 192 kHz. The card easily installs into your existing tower/desktop computer and significantly reduces any distracting delay while recording, leading to a more comfortable experience when performing in the studio.

To get a full 64 channels of I/O, the Pro Tools | HDX Native PCIe card allows you to connect up to four, 16-channel Pro Tools | HD audio interfaces. Two of the interfaces connect directly to DigiLink Mini ports 1 and 2, and the other two interfaces connect to the expansion ports on those Pro Tools | HD audio interfaces.

Pro Tools | Ultimate is designed for audio and post pros who need maximum track counts, high-level performance, and surround sound. It provides powerful and efficient tools to create music or sound for film/TV, and allows you to connect with a premier network of artists, producers, and mixers around the world via Avid Cloud.

The 3-year Software Updates and Support Plan provides access to the latest Pro Tools releases, including updates and upgrades, 25 bonus plug-ins, and priority support (renewable after three years).
