Configuring The Sync Hd From Pro Tools Hd - DigiDesign SYNC HD Manual

Configuring the SYNC HD from
Pro Tools HD
Pro Tools HD software provides SYNC HD con-
figuration controls that establish communica-
tion between Pro Tools and the SYNC HD.
Loop Sync
The SYNC HD supports Digidesign's Loop Sync
feature for connecting Pro Tools|HD interfaces.
The SYNC HD can be configured as the Clock
Source (Loop Master) in order to provide 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."
Auto ID of SYNC HD through Loop Sync
Pro Tools HD automatically recognizes if a
SYNC HD is connected to the DigiSerial port
when Pro Tools is launched. When Pro Tools
recognizes the SYNC HD, it automatically con-
figures the Device and Port settings for the
SYNC HD in the Peripherals dialog
