Performance Guidelines
- Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended
- For desktop models, a separate internal or external dedicated
audio hard drive is highly recommended for maximum performance
and track count (see
Hard Drive Minimum Requirements)
- Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may
be possible using the internal drive in laptop models, a separate
external dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended for
maximum performance and track count. Digidesign recommends the
use of FireWire drives for use with these computers. (see FireWire Drive Requirements)
- When using FireWire storage with a Digi 002 systems, connect
the Digi 002 and the drives to separate FireWire ports if possible
- If only one port is available, connect the drives to the CPU,
then connect the Digi 002 to the drives
- For best performance, it is suggested that you set your monitor
to 256 colors
- Pentium 4 or Xeon systems with HyperThreading technology must
have "Intel HyperThreading" in the system BIOS disabled.
Known Incompatibilities
- Digi 002 will not function if any other Digidesign PCI cards
are installed in the CPU. (Digi 001, Audiomedia III, TDM cards)
- Pro Tools LE 5.3.2 is specific to the Digi 002. It will not
work with any other Digidesign hardware.
- Computers with motherboards containing SiS (Silicon Integrated
Systems) chipsets
- AMD K6, K6-2 or K6-III, K7 processor based computers.
- Dell Inspiron & Latitude notebooks are not compatible with
the 002.
- Do not connect a DV video camera to the same FireWire bus as
a Digi 002. Most CPUs with two FireWire ports still have only
one FireWire bus. If you need to add an additional FireWire bus
to your CPU, see the list of Digidesign-Qualified
FireWire PCI & CardBus Cards
- Laptops users need to disable integrated wireless networking
- Pro Tools does not support RAID technology. Please do not activate
this feature.
- Some HP Pavilion models do not meet the minimum requirements
as listed in these compatibilitiy documents. Before purchasing
these or any computer, please carefully go over these documents
and the exact specifications of the computer to make certain that
all of the compatibility guidelines have been met.

Guidelines & Known Incompatibilities — Additional Information
Qualified FireWire PCI & CardBus Cards
- A 1394 ("FireWire") controller/interface is required
to connect the Digi 002 to your computer. Some computers have
built-in 1394 controllers, while other computers require add-in
1394 PCI or PCMCIA controller cards (purchased separately)
- See: Digi 002 Qualified
1394 Interface Cards for more information
Hard Drive Minimum
Requirements
SCSI Accelerator Card Requirements
Third-Party Video Capture Cards
- Playback within Pro Tools is only supported via the computer
monitor. Hardware Codecs are not supported. Use a third party
application and card to capture video and import the video into
Pro Tools. For the best performance use Avid CODEC DV files created
by Avid Express DV.
