Delay Before Locking to Longitudinal Timecode
(Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native Systems
Only)
Sets the amount of time (in frames) for
Pro Tools to lock to incoming LTC. Use this op-
tion when locking Pro Tools to a stable timecode
source (such as a non-linear tape machine or LTC
generator) and not a linear tape machine.
Delay Before Locking to Serial Timecode (Avid
HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native Systems
Only)
Sets the amount of time (in frames) for
Pro Tools to wait before attempting to lock to ma-
chines that issue servo lock messages. This setting
allows time for the servo mechanisms to achieve
stable lock.
Remote Mode Section
(Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native
Systems Only)
Ignore Track Arming Sets Pro Tools to ignore in-
coming track arming (record enable) commands.
This is useful if you are using a master controller to
arm tracks on other machines, but you do not want
to arm tracks in Pro Tools.
Set Servo Lock Bit at Play Enable this option
when using a synchronizer to control Pro Tools in
Remote mode to minimize lock-up times during
recording.
Allow 9-Pin Track Arm Commands in Local
Mode
Sets Pro Tools to respond to incoming track
arming (record enable) commands even when the
system is not in Remote mode. This is useful if you
are using a paddle device to control Pro Tools
track arming or punching.
Allow 9-Pin Transport Commands in Local
Mode
Sets Pro Tools to respond to incoming trans-
port commands even when the system is not in Re-
mote mode. This is useful when using Satellite
Link in conjunction with a 9-pin controller. You
can receive the transport controls from the 9-pin
controller, but not experience the lag-time associ-
ated with a 9-pin device.
Punch In Frame Offset Sets an offset (in frames)
to compensate for punch in timing advances or
delays.
Punch Out Frame Offset Sets an offset (in frames)
to compensate for punch out timing advances or
delays.
Delay After Play Command Sets the amount of
time (in frames) for Pro Tools to wait after receiv-
ing a Play command before starting the audio en-
gine. This can prevent false starts when locking to
synchronizers that are not fully supported by
Pro Tools.
Satellites Section
(Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native
Systems with Satellite Link Only)
These preferences are available only with the Sat-
ellite Link option. The Pro Tools Satellite Link op-
tion lets you link up to 5 Pro Tools systems (or 4
Pro Tools systems and an Avid
®
Media Com-
poser
®
with the Video Satellite option or a Video
Satellite LE system) over an Ethernet network so
that you can cue, play, and stop the transport, make
play selections, and solo tracks across any of the
systems from any linked workstation.
Transmit Solos Causes a linked Pro Tools system
to send the solo status of its tracks to all other
linked Pro Tools systems. On other linked systems
that are set to receive solos, tracks follow solo be-
havior as if the solo were on the local system.
Receive Solos Causes a linked Pro Tools system
to receive solos from all other linked Pro Tools
systems that are set to transmit solo status of their
tracks. Tracks on the receiving system follows solo
behavior as if the solos were on the local system.
