Released in late 2011, it served as the "bridge" between the legacy TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) architecture and the modern AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) 64-bit ecosystem. Even today, many professional studios maintain HD 10 systems for their specific workflow advantages and legacy hardware compatibility.
