Testing with this card has shown that large hardware buffer sizes are not necessary for successful operation. We
have had success with hardware buffer sizes as low as 256. This greatly reduces monitoring latency as well as
control sluggishness that is associated with higher hardware buffer size settings.

How Do I Work With Time Code In Pro Tools LE?
If you're new to Pro Tools LE (software for Digi 001 and ToolBox), you may have questions about how to perform
common tasks such as locking to video decks, working with built-in QuickTime Movies, and spotting elements to
time code. Let's take a look at some frequently asked questions, and some sample workflows...

Does Pro Tools LE Work Accurately with QuickTime Movies?
Yes. Your QuickTime Movie triggers accurately to the incoming MIDI Time Code. Your Movie remains "frame locked"
wherever you click on the screen (provided you followed the rules when capturing it!). Of course, as with any
system that uses QuickTime, the performance of your system will vary depending on whether or not your using a
dedicated capture card with a codec, a SCSI accelerator, and how much you're asking your computer to do. Faster
computers with dedicated video subsystems and drives can yield great performance.
As with any host-based audio system, you'll be trading off the ability of the CPU to manage tracks, mixing and
effects against what it's being asked to do with video. More expensive digital audio systems (such as Pro Tools TDM
systems) use dedicated HW for most audio tasks, so they can deliver better performance with a given CPU
configuration. Because system performance can vary tremendously, Digidesign has not "officially qualified" common
video cards (like the Miro DC30 or Aurora Fuse) for the Macintosh for use with Pro Tools LE. These cards do work...
just make sure that with your workflow, there's enough CPU horsepower for what you want to do. For more on
QuickTime video and Pro Tools LE, read below...

What is "Resolving" to Time Code? Is it Important to Me as a Pro Tools LE user?
Post Production Pros commonly run their systems locked to a reference signal such as "black burst" or "house sync"
so that all machines in the studio (audio or video) are referenced to the same "master clock." When a system is
locked in this way, and you trigger to start at a specific location, your system remains locked all devices are running
at the same speed. The term "resolved" refers to this kind of lock. In a "resolved" digital audio system, the speed of
the "slave" audio system is constantly and subtly adjusted to match the "master." Pro Tools LE *can* be resolved to
an external clock via the S/PDIF port on the Digi 001 or AMIII, but external sync boxes that can do this (available
