FireWire Connections

 

  • A 1394 ("FireWire") controller/interface is required to connect the Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, Mbox 2 Pro, M-Audio FireWire device, or FireWire hard drive to your computer. Some computers have built-in 1394/FireWire controllers, while other computers require add-in 1394/FireWire PCI or PCMCIA controller cards (purchased separately)
     
  • Some built-in 1394/FireWire ports may be incompatible with Pro Tools. if you experience FireWire-related issues or errors when using the built-in 1394/FireWire ports on your computer, Digidesign recommends installing a Digidesign-approved 1394/FireWire card.
     
  • When using FireWire storage with a 003, 003 Rack, Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, Mbox 2 Pro, or M-Audio FireWire system, connect the Pro Tools interface and the drives to separate FireWire ports if possible
     
  • If only one FireWire port is available, connect the drives to the CPU, then connect the Pro Tools interface to the drives
     
  • Do not connect a DV video camera to the same FireWire bus as a Pro Tools interface. Most CPUs with two FireWire ports still have only one FireWire bus. If you need to add an additional FireWire bus to your CPU, please see the list of qualified cards above.
     


Avid Video Peripherals
 

  • FireWire storage must be connected to a FireWire/1394 Controller PCI Card when used with Avid video peripherals.
     
  • Avid video peripherals (Avid Mojo, Avid Mojo SDI or AVoption|V10) will not function if any other device is connected to the same FireWire bus (FireWire video cameras may connect directly to an Avid video peripheral).
     
  • However, if you wish to have other FireWire devices connected to your system, you must install a PCI FireWire card to create an additional FireWire bus.
