details. You can even set up your Traveler-mk3
configuration file as a DP startup clipping so that it
automatically loads when you open the project. See
your DP manual for details.

SYNCHRONIZATION

As you read through the following sections to
decide what form of synchronization you might
need with other devices in your studio, be sure to
consult "Making sync connections" on page 26 for
the proper hardware connections. Use the
synchronization diagrams to be clear about how
you will be synchronizing Digital Performer and
the Traveler-mk3 to the other components of your
system.
Synchronizing digital audio connections
If you have devices connected to the Traveler-mk3
digital inputs (optical, S/PDIF or AES/EBU), you
need to be concerned with the synchronization of
the Traveler-mk3's digital audio clock with other
devices connected to it digitally (if any). For
example, if you have a digital mixer connected to
the Traveler-mk3 via an ADAT optical light pipe
cable, you need to make sure that their audio clocks
58
are phase-locked. For details, see "Choosing a
clock source for optical connections" on page 21
and "Making sync connections" on page 26. If you
don't have any digital audio devices connected to
the Traveler-mk3, digital audio phase-lock does
not apply to you.
Resolving directly to time code (with no
synchronizer)
If you need to slave Digital Performer and the
Traveler-mk3 to SMPTE time code, you can do so
with or without a dedicated synchronizer.
To resolve your Traveler-mk3 directly to SMPTE
time code with no additional synchronization
devices, use the setup shown in "Syncing to
SMPTE time code" on page 28.

EXCHANGING PROJECTS WITH AUDIODESK

Digital Performer can exchange projects with
AudioDesk. To open an AudioDesk project in
Digital Performer, open it in same way you would a
DP project. To export a project to AudioDesk, use
DP's File menu> Save A Copy As command and
choose the AudioDesk 3.0 file format.
