Introduction
This guide covers operation of the SYNC HD
and SYNC I/O, Digidesign's multipurpose
synchronization peripherals for Pro Tools HD
systems.
Digidesign SYNC peripherals support all
Pro Tools sample rates, and synchronize to most
major time code and clock reference standards
used in audio, video, film, and multimedia
production.
Digidesign SYNC peripherals can also be used as
standalone synchronization devices.
SYNC Peripherals with Pro Tools|HD
Systems
With a Pro Tools|HD system, Digidesign SYNC
peripherals provide highly accurate lock to time
code. Most SYNC peripheral settings are avail-
able directly from within Pro Tools.
SYNC Peripherals in Standalone Mode
Digidesign SYNC peripherals can be used as
standalone synchronization converters, time
code generators, clock generators and time code
character generators. Throughout this guide, the
term standalone refers to systems using the
SYNC HD or SYNC I/O but not using Pro Tools.
When used as a standalone device (or in "Stan-
dalone mode"), a SYNC peripheral is connected
to time code or clock signals, and is configured
from the front panel.
Optionally, while in Standalone mode, a SYNC
peripheral can be controlled remotely from a
Windows computer using the SYNC Setup
software utility.
SYNC Setup Software Utility
(Windows Only)
The SYNC Setup software utility can be used
with or without Pro Tools to control SYNC
peripheral features from any supported Win-
dows computer.
