3 Choose Windows > Show Session Setup.
Notice the additional field for the SSD or
USD at the bottom of this window.
4 Choose the frame rate for your session
from the pop-up menu. This frame rate
might be 30 FPS (Drop or Non-Drop) or
29.97 FPS (Drop or Non-Drop) depending
on the requirements of your material. See
“When to Pull Up or Pull Down” on
page 335 for more information.
5 In the Sample Rate Pull Up/Down field,
enable the Pull Up or Pull Down option as
appropriate.
This procedure will also work with a VSD or
a third-party synchronizer that supports
256x Super Clock and Pull Up/Pull Down,
with the following exceptions:
• You have to enable Pull Up or Pull Down
in the Session Setup window and on the
front of your synchronizer, and
• The VSD does not support Pull Up sam-
ple rates.
Putting Pro Tools Online
To trigger playback or recording from an
external source, you put Pro Tools online, or
set it to look for incoming time code.
To put Pro Tools online:
1 Choose Operations > Online. The Cur-
rent Position Indicator at the upper right of
the Pro Tools window will display incom-
ing Time Code as soon as Online playback
begins.
2 Click the Online button at the far left of
the Transport. The button blinks until
Pro Tools locks to Time Code, then is high-
lighted. Pro Tools now waits for a SMPTE
frame to trigger playback. The Current
Time field in the Session Setup Window
will indicate incoming time code.
You can take Pro Tools offline by choosing
Operations > Online a second time.
Recording Online
The Operation page of the Preferences dia-
log (Setups > Preferences) contains two op-
tions that affect how Pro Tools initiates re-
cording when online.
Record Online At Insertion/Selection On-
line recording begins wherever you have
placed the insertion point in a track. Re-
cording then continues until Pro Tools
stops receiving time code. If you make a se-
lection in a track, Pro Tools will record on-
line only for the length of the selection.
