DSP Requirements for TDM Plug-ins

The number of TDM plug-ins you can use at one

time depends on how much DSP power is avail-

able in your system. Since the TDM hardware on

Pro Tools cards provide dedicated DSP for plug-

ins, plug-in performance is not limited by CPU

processing power.

The DSP tables on the following pages show the

theoretical total number of instances of each Di-

giRack TDM plug-in that can be powered by a

single DSP chip on Pro Tools|HD-series cards.

DSP usage differs according to card type and

DSP chip availability.

There are a total of nine DSP chips on a

Pro Tools|HD card (HD Core, HD Process, and

HD Accel). HD Core and HD Process cards pro-

vide identical chip sets. HD Accel cards provide

newer, more powerful DSP chips (making the

HD Accel card ideal for DSP-intensive plug-ins,

and for high sample rate sessions).

Not all plug-ins are supported on all types of

chips. The following tables indicate the number

of compatible chips per card.

DSP Requirements

DSP requirements for DigiRack TDM plug-ins

are provided on the following pages.

DSP tables show the theoretical maximum

performance when no other plug-ins or sys-

tem tasks (such as I/O) are sharing avail-

able DSP resources. You will typically use

more than one type of plug-in simulta-

neously. The data in these tables are pro-

vided as guidelines to help you gauge the

relative efficiency of different plug-ins on

your system. They are not guaranteed per-

formance counts that you should expect to

see in typical real-world sessions and usage.
