SYNC I/O Guide 12
Character Generator for Window Burn
SYNC I/O can also generate a Window burn
while using the same video source signal as the
video reference. The following is one example
setup for a window burn.
To use the SYNC I/O Time Code Character
Generator to make a window burn:
1 Connect your video signal to a SYNC I/O
Video Ref In port.
2 Connect the SYNC I/O Video Ref Out port to
the Video In port.
3 Connect the SYNC I/O Video Out port to
other video devices.
Connecting LTC
SYNC I/O provides LTC input and output con-
nectors.
To input LTC to SYNC I/O:
■ Connect the LTC signal from your machine,
synchronizer or other source to the SYNC I/O
LTC In port.
To output LTC from SYNC I/O:
■ Connect the SYNC I/O LTC Out port to your
external devices.
Connecting Word Clock Devices
SYNC I/O has Word Clock input and output,
and both can be used simultaneously. Use Word
Clock when you want SYNC I/O to lock to 1x
clock from DAT machines, DA-88s, and similar
digital devices.
Pro Tools|HD-series audio interfaces each have
their own Word Clock inputs, which provide
additional clock options and flexibility. Refer to
Pro Tools|HD documentation for details.
To input Word Clock to SYNC I/O:
■ Connect Word Clock from the master Word
clock signal or device to the SYNC I/O Word
Clock In.
To supply Word Clock from SYNC I/O:
■ Connect the SYNC I/O Word Clock Out to the
Word Clock input of a Word Clock device.
Make sure the SYNC I/O Word Clock Out port is
configured for the appropriate choice (1x for
Word Clock, or 256x Slave Clock if using the
SYNC I/O with Pro Tools|24 MIX).
Word Clock contains no positional informa-
tion. If you want devices to play or record in
sync, you’ll still need to provide them with a po-
sitional reference.
Connecting AES/EBU Devices
To input AES/EBU clock reference to SYNC I/O:
■ Connect the device’s AES/EBU output to the
SYNC I/O AES/EBU input.
SYNC I/O
can generate time code to provide
positional reference to other devices. See
“Generating & Regenerating Time Code” on
page 47.
