Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD 10.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.x (“Snow Leopard”) and Mac OS X 10.7.x (“Lion”) — 10/13/11 3

Slot order for BlackMagic Design DeckLink Extreme II PCIe card and Pro Tools|HD PCIe cards (106661)

BlackMagic Design recommends placing the DeckLink Extreme II video playback and capture card in Slot 3 of your PCIe Macin-

tosh. You may have difficulty placing the HDMI daughter card in an unused slot between slots 0 and 1 in your Power Mac com-

puter due to the full size of Pro Tools HD cards. In order to accommodate an additional Pro Tools|HD Accel card, the DeckLink

Extreme II was extensively tested in PCIe slot 1 as well. No decrease in performance was found.

HD Native Systems

“An Unexpected Error Occurred While Transmitting a Firmware Image. Error Reading in the Image File on Disk. (–1164)”

(PTSW-146374)

When launching Pro Tools HD with and HD Native card on Mac OS 10.6.8 or 10.7.x, a –1164 error may occur. This error indicates

that the firmware for the HD Native card cannot be upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.02 or 1.03. If this error occurs, you

can only upgrade the firmware using Mac OS X 10.6.7 or lower. The firmware update can also fail when using a Thunderbolt Mac-

Book Pro. Use a Mac without Thunderbolt to upgrade the HD Native firmware.

HD Native card should be installed in PCIe slot 3 or slot 4 of Woodcrest and Clovertown Mac Pro computers for optimum

performance (PTSW-1771)

Clovertown and Woodcrest Mac computers cannot support a PCIe device of speed greater than 1x in PCIe Slot 2 without PCIe Slot

1 being lowered to 8x. (Note that Avid does not test graphics cards at less than their ideal speed of 16x.) To avoid this problem,

install your Pro Tools Native card in PCIe slot 3 or slot 4 of your Clovertown or Woodcrest era Mac computer.

Clovertown Mac Pro computers do not have the PCIe bandwidth required to use more than two 4x PCIe cards at full speed

(PTSW-1657 and PTSW-1456)

Clovertown Mac Pro computers with an ATTO UL5D card, a BlackMagic Design's Decklink 3 Video Capture card, and an

HD Native card do not have the PCIe Bandwidth required to run all three cards at full speed. In this configuration, three 4x PCIe

cards are being called for, while Clovertown Mac Pro computers can only accommodate two 4x cards and one 1x card. Conse-

quently, one card must be run at less than full speed. Avid has not tested any down-throttled combinations and as such this is an

unsupported configuration. Consider the following options as workarounds: slow down the built in graphics card to 8x or remove

the SCSI HBA card and use SATA instead of SCSI drives.

Similarly, an HD Native card, an ATTO Celerity ES-41 Fiber Optic Network Adapter card, and a BlackMagic Design's DeckLink 3

card cannot be combined in Clowertown era Mac Pro without one card being used at less than its optimal PCIe bandwidth. Since

Pro Tools support for Unity MediaNet 5 is limited to push/pull scenarios, Avid recommends that the ATTO Celerity card be down-

throttled by installing it in the 1x PCIe slot, and that the HD Native and DeckLink 3 cards be installed in the 4x PCIe slots.

Avid strongly recommends against running the HD Native card or BlackMagic Design DeckLink 3 card at less than full speed.

VENUE systems with two HDx Option Cards may not be recognized by Pro Tools HD Native systems (PTSW-142834)

If a second HDx Option card is installed in a VENUE system, it may cause both HDx cards not to be recognized by Pro Tools on

HD Native. A single VENUE HDx Option card is recognized properly by Pro Tools on HD Native, so for consistent performance

it may be necessary to de-install the second HDx card.
