About This Guide
This guide assumes:
• You understand the basics of synchroniza-
tion and time code
• You know how to operate devices that send
or receive time code, such as a video deck
• You have an understanding of the time
code requirements for your projects
This Guide covers use of the SYNC HD with
Pro Tools HD version 7.3 and higher.
Use of tri-level synchronization rates requires
Pro Tools HD version 7.4 or higher.
For versions of Pro Tools lower than 7.3, the
SYNC HD can be set to emulate a
SYNC I/O. See the Digidesign website
(www.digidesign.com) for a version of the
SYNC I/O Guide that applies to your system.
