SYNC HD Guide14
Configuring a SYNC
Peripheral from Pro Tools
Pro Tools HD software provides configuration
controls that establish communication between
Pro Tools and the SYNC peripheral.
Loop Sync
SYNC peripherals support the Loop Sync feature
for connecting Pro Tools HD interfaces. A SYNC
peripheral can be configured as the Clock Source
(Loop Master) in order to provide Loop Sync
master clock to the rest of your Pro Tools HD in-
terfaces.
Pro Tools automatically recognizes if a SYNC
peripheral is connected to the DigiSerial port
when Pro Tools is launched. When Pro Tools
recognizes the SYNC peripheral, it automati-
cally configures the Device and Port settings for
it in the Peripherals dialog.
To check communication between Pro Tools and a
SYNC peripheral:
1 After installing Pro Tools and connecting the
SYNC peripheral, launch Pro Tools.
2 Choose Setup > Peripherals, and click the Syn-
chronization tab.
3 Under Synchronization Device, select Enable
SYNC HD
(for a SYNC HD) or Enable SYNC Pe-
ripheral
(for a SYNC I/O).
Pro Tools scans the DigiSerial port and checks
the SYNC peripheral firmware.
If you need to update your firmware, use the
DigiTest application installed with Pro Tools.
See “Updating SYNC Peripheral Firmware” on
page 12.
For system requirements and Loop Sync
connection instructions, see Chapter 1,
“Introduction.”
