Hardware Connections
The following are the primary hardware connec-
tions possible with SYNC I/O:
• AC Power
• Serial to a DigiSerial port on a Pro Tools PCI
card, or a serial port on the computer
• Clock to Pro Tools audio interfaces (Loop
Sync or Super Clock)

• Synchronization, including positional and
clock references to and from remote machines
AC Power
The SYNC I/O AC connector accepts a standard
AC Power Cable. SYNC I/O is auto power-select-
ing (100V to 240V) and will automatically work
with a standard modular cable to connect to AC
power receptacles in any country.
