新的ProTools|HD Accel DSP Process Card問世
Pro Tools|HD Accel — Powerful, New HD Accel PCI Card Supercharges Any Pro Tools|HD System
 |
In keeping with the Pro Tools legacy, Pro Tools|HD Accel gives you the very best set of tools and resources available for audio production and the fastest means of getting the job done. Replacing the original HD Process cards introduced with Pro Tools|HD (HD Core card doesn't change), the new HD Accel card is included with Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel and HD 3 Accel systems. HD Accel cards may also be purchased separately and added to any Pro Tools|HD system to supercharge its power and expand available options. Pro Tools|HD Accel seamlessly integrates with the entire line of Pro Tools|HD audio interfaces and peripherals, so previous Digidesign hardware investments remain entirely viable.
在不更改Core Card的前提下，DigiDesign新推出了Accel卡，這張卡簡單說，就是運算速度更快、更屌、更貴.....(Sorry~亂翻譯)
In practical terms, the use of HD Accel cards result in higher voice counts across all sample rates (44.1 – 192 kHz — see Table 1 below).* The new HD Accel card affords nearly twice the raw DSP power as HD Process cards, not to mention additional Pro Tools 6.2 software optimizations, further enhancing the overall power of Pro Tools|HD Accel systems. The real-world benefits: Bigger and better mixes at any sample rate, support for more complex plug-in algorithms, increased plug-in counts, and an overall dramatic leap forward in day-to-day operational efficiency. Keep in mind that the dedicated hardware architecture of Pro Tools TDM always leaves your computer with plenty of CPU power available to accommodate additional host-based plug-ins or applications — providing the ultimate in power and flexibility.
這卡可以支援到192kHz，比HD ProcessCard高兩倍的運算速度，要用PT 6.2的系統，
更強大的混音能力，支援更複雜的Plug-in以及更高的Plug-in數量。

Pro Tools TDM 6.2 software, which ships with all Pro Tools|HD systems and cards, is the first release to support the new HD Accel cards.

Keep in mind that all Digidesign and Digidesign-distributed Development Partner plug-ins have all been updated to support the HD Accel cards. What’s more, all Digidesign and Digidesign-distributed Development Partner plug-in installers have been included on the Pro Tools TDM 6.2 software CD-ROM — making the upgrade to Pro Tools|HD Accel a breeze.
