Selecting Full Remote Mode or
Remote/LTC Chase Mode
Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation mode lets a mas-
ter device control Pro Tools track and transport
arming.
When Pro Tools is in Remote mode, Remote
9-pin Deck Emulation operates in Full Remote
mode or in Remote/LTC Chase mode.
When Pro Tools is not in Remote mode, it ig-
nores commands from the 9-pin machine con-
troller. Pro Tools responds only to requests from
the 9-pin machine controller for machine type
and status, and responds that it is in Local
mode.
Full Remote Mode
In Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation mode, when
Pro Tools is in Remote mode and Chase LTC is
not enabled, Pro Tools is in one of the two fol-
lowing states:
• When the Delay after Play Command prefer-
ence is set to zero, Pro Tools is set to func-
tion as the time code master. Pro Tools
locates, then plays when it gets a play com-
mand.
• When the Delay after Play Command prefer-
ence is set towards 30 frames, another ma-
chine is the time code master. Pro Tools
locates, sends time code position
responses, and when its time code lines up
with the time code master device, goes into
play in sync with the time code master
device.
