Loop Sync and enabled in the Peripherals dialog,
its settings become available in the
SYNC Setup
and
Timecode Settings sections of the Session
Setup window.

Sync chain, the SYNC peripheral appears along
with any Pro Tools HD interfaces in the
Clock
Source
pop-up menu, located in the Session
Setup window.
The Clock Source can be any device in the Loop
Sync chain. This lets you use any digital input
source available on any Pro Tools HD interface
(including the SYNC peripheral) simply by se-
lecting that device and source from the
Clock Source pop-up menu.

your choices for clock reference.
