===Hardware Restrictions===

Use of Avid's HDX series of hardware (HDX Core, MTRX Family, ~~Carbon Family,~~ legacy HD Devices) all require a Pro Tools Ultimate license to be able to interface with the hardware and a complete system requires at least one HDX Core card and one HD audio interface to be installed and connected. The interfaces use a proprietary connector called DigiLink Mini that can only link with Avid designed hardware or licensed hardware from 3rd parties.

Use of Avid's HDX series of hardware (HDX Core, MTRX Family, HD Native and legacy HD Devices) all require a Pro Tools Ultimate license to be able to interface with the hardware and a complete system requires at least one HDX Core card and one HD audio interface to be installed and connected. The interfaces use a proprietary connector called DigiLink Mini that can only link with Avid designed hardware or licensed hardware from 3rd parties. For MTRX devices, full compatibility with all Pro Tools tiers is possible but requires the Thunderbolt I/O card to be installed at a separate cost. Carbon Family devices require Pro Tools Studio or higher and operates on a proprietary [[wikipedia:Audio_Video_Bridging|Audio Video Bridge]] implementation.

Avid's NEXIS media storage and editing pool solution requires a license to function and integrate with Avid's software products. NEXIS solutions with an F-series component require either a perpetual modular engine license or subscription capacity license, whereas NEXIS | SDA+ solutions require a standard or advanced subscription capacity license. E-series component licensing is deterministic based on capacity needs and system configuration.
