Selecting Full Remote Modes or
Remote/LTC Chase Mode
Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation mode lets a mas-
ter device control Pro Tools track and transport
arming. When the Transport window is online,
Remote 9-pin Deck Emulation operates in one
of two Full Remote modes, or Remote/LTC
Chase mode.
When the Transport window is offline,
Pro Tools operates in Local mode and ignores
commands from the 9-pin machine controller.
Pro Tools responds only to requests from the 9-
pin machine controller for machine type and
status, and responds that it is in Local mode.
Full Remote Modes
In Remote 9-Pin Deck Emulation mode, when
the Transport window is online and Chase LTC
is not enabled, the Transport Master selector
shows Transport = Remote, and Pro Tools is in
one of two Full Remote modes.
In Full Remote mode, Pro Tools or another ma-
chine is the time code master, while simulta-
neously responding to 9-pin transport and track
arming commands from the machine control-
ler.
If this option is grayed out, you need to open
a new or old session first.
