Hardware Connections
The following are the primary hardware connec-
tions on a SYNC peripheral:
•AC Power
• Serial to a DigiSerial port on a Pro Tools core
card (HD Accel Core, HD Core, or HD Native),
or a serial port on a Windows computer
• Clock to Pro Tools audio interfaces
• 9-pin to external machines (requires the
Pro Tools MachineControl Software option)
• Synchronization, including positional and
clock references to and from remote machines
AC Power
SYNC peripheral AC connectors accept a stan-
dard AC power cable. SYNC peripherals are auto
power-selecting (100V to 240V) and will auto-
matically work with a standard modular cable to
connect to AC power receptacles in any country.
Serial Connections
Serial to Pro Tools Core Card
Pro Tools systems require a serial connection
between the SYNC peripheral and a Pro Tools
core card.
To connect a SYNC peripheral to a Pro Tools core
card:
1 Make sure power is off on all equipment.
2 Connect one end of the included serial cable to
the SYNC peripheral Host Serial port.
3 Connect the other end to the DigiSerial port
on your Pro Tools core card.
Do not use the DigiSerial port on any other
Pro Tools card in your system.
