[. . . ] HDR Pro is not a required upgrade, but adds a new dynamic to the already rich feature set of the HDR24/96. HDR Pro includes the HDR Pro software for your HDR24/96, and the FireWire® drive bay. HDR Pro software allows you to save your HDR Project file as a Mac-based Pro Tools® Session file (versions 3. x, 4. x, or 5. x), and allows Pro Tools Session files to be imported directly into an HDR Project. You can save the files directly to the internal drive for FTP transfer, or to a removable drive in the HDR's drive bay (Mackie Media M90). The removable drive can then be transferred to the HDR Pro FireWire drive bay, and accessed from the Macintosh desktop through the FireWire connection. Copy the newly created Pro Tools Session to your Pro Tools drive and you're ready to wield your Pro Tools magic on your HDR24/96 recorded digital audio tracks. The first step in using HDR Pro is installing the software in the HDR24/96. Licensing It is necessary to authorize the software in order to use the "Import/Export Pro Tools" feature.
