Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation Mode - DigiDesign MachineControl Manual

Using a Paddle Device in Local
Mode
When using MachineControl in Local mode
with or without an external synchronizer, you
can use a supported third-party paddle device to
issue the following Pro Tools track commands:
• Input monitoring
• Record Enable
• Record Safe
• Solo
• Solo Mute
See Chapter 7, "Using a Paddle Device in
Local Mode."
Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation
Mode
With Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation mode (also
called Remote 9-Pin mode), an external synchro-
nizer can take control over Pro Tools transport
and recording functions.
Pro Tools responds to commands sent by the
master 9-pin machine controller, but because
Pro Tools is in Remote mode, many of its trans-
port commands are locked out.
Remote and Remote/LTC Chase
Modes
When using an external machine controller to
control Pro Tools, you can configure Pro Tools
to emulate a 9-pin deck in either of the follow-
ing modes:
Remote mode Pro Tools emulates a device that
can be the time code master or time code slave.
Remote/LTC Chase mode Pro Tools emulates a
device that receives track and transport arming
commands, while chasing incoming LTC.
