Caveats for Connecting Pro Tools
and a Video Satellite
The following caveats apply to connections be-
tween Pro Tools and video satellites:
• Only one Pro Tools system can connect to a
satellite at a time. Once a satellite is connected
to one Pro Tools system, its name appears
grayed out in the Satellite menu of other
Pro Tools systems.
• Quitting a Pro Tools application that is con-
nected to a video satellite releases the video
satellite so that it can connect to other
Pro Tools systems.
• If you quit Pro Tools while a satellite is con-
nected, Pro Tools attempts to re-connect to
the same satellite on relaunch.
• When working with 24p and 23.976 projects,
Media Station|PT defaults to displaying
frames mapped to 29.97 fps timecode. In or-
der to keep the Pro Tools and
Media Station|PT time code displays in sync
when working in 24p or 23.976 projects, click
the time code display above the Record mon-
itor and choose Sequence > Timecode > 24 >
Mas.
• When used with a video satellite in Satellite
Mode, Pro Tools does not chase MIDI Time
Code (MTC).
