Additional MIDI Requirements
Macintosh-based systems using Pro Tools
version 4.1 or earlier will also need to de-
fine an OMS device for the USD so that it
can provide MTC to other OMS-compatible
devices. See "Configuring OMS" on
page 15 for further instructions.
Software Installation
The following sections provide software in-
stallation instructions for different
Pro Tools systems and standalone opera-
tion.
The location and availability of all parame-
ters is explained in "Control Options" on
page 27.
Pro Tools MIX/MIXplus and
Pro Tools 24 Systems
Check to make sure you have already in-
stalled the most recent USD options for
your system, from your Pro Tools Installer
CD-ROM or the Digidesign Web site.
Optionally, USD Setup can be installed to
provide access to the complete set of USD
parameters, and provide remote control of
USD independent of Pro Tools.
Pro Tools III Systems
Check to make sure you have already in-
stalled the most recent Pro Tools and USD
Setup software from your Pro Tools In-
staller CD-ROM.
Optionally, USD Setup can be installed to
provide access to the complete set of USD
parameters, and for remote control of USD
independent of Pro Tools.
