What’s New in Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD 10.040
Declaring D-Command Units when in
Multi-Mode
When a D-Command unit is in Multi-mode, it
appears in the Peripherals dialog twice, with the
numbers “1” and “2” appended to its name.
These two listings can then be declared on dif-
ferent Pro Tools systems on the network.
To declare D-Command units in Multi-mode:
1 On the first Pro Tools system, choose Setup >
Peripherals
, and click Ethernet Controllers.
2 In the Ethernet Controllers page, select En-
able
. Pro Tools scans the Ethernet connection
and finds the Multi-mode enabled D-Command
units.
3 Declare the Main Unit and Fader Modules that
end in the suffix “1,” in the order you want the
units arranged from left to right.
4 Click OK to close the Peripherals window.
5 On the second Pro Tools system, repeat the
above steps, declaring the Main Unit and Fader
Modules that appear with the suffix “2,” in the
same order from left to right as you declared
them on the first Pro Tools system.
As you declare the D-Command units from each
Pro Tools system, the Machine switch in the
Transport Modes section of the Transport con-
trols flashes to indicate that system is available.
Using D-Command Multi-Mode
When two Pro Tools systems are available in
Multi-mode, you can view their transport syn-
chronization status and instantly switch be-
tween them using the Machine switch in the
Transport Modes section of the Transport con-
trols.
Pro Tools System Status Indication
The Machine switch shows the status of avail-
able Pro Tools systems as follows:
