Configuring A Sync Peripheral From Pro Tools Hd - DigiDesign SYNC HD Manual

Configuring a SYNC
Peripheral from Pro Tools HD
Pro Tools HD software provides configuration
controls that establish communication between
Pro Tools and the SYNC peripheral.
Loop Sync
SYNC peripherals support Digidesign's Loop
Sync feature for connecting Pro Tools|HD inter-
faces. A SYNC peripheral can be configured as
the Clock Source (Loop Master) in order to pro-
vide Loop Sync master clock to the rest of your
Pro Tools|HD interfaces.
For system requirements and Loop Sync
connection instructions, see Chapter 1,
"Introduction."
Pro Tools HD automatically recognizes if a
SYNC peripheral is connected to the DigiSerial
port when Pro Tools is launched. When
Pro Tools recognizes the SYNC peripheral, it au-
tomatically configures the Device and Port set-
tings for it in the Peripherals dialog.
To check communication between Pro Tools and a
SYNC peripheral:
After installing Pro Tools and connecting the
1
SYNC peripheral, launch Pro Tools.
Choose Setup > Peripherals, and click the Syn-
2
chronization tab.
Under Digidesign Synchronization Device, se-
3
lect Enable SYNC HD (for a SYNC HD) or Enable
SYNC Peripheral (for a SYNC I/O).

Pro Tools scans the DigiSerial port and checks
the SYNC peripheral firmware.
If you need to update your firmware, use the
DigiTest application installed with Pro Tools.
