Chapter 3: Remote Mode 13
chapter 3
Remote Mode
This chapter explains how to use Pro Tools
when MachineControl is connected for Remote
mode operation.
9-Pin Remote Mode makes Pro Tools operate as
a virtual tape deck, capable of slaving to most
standard Sony P2 9-pin commands. For a list of
supported commands, see “9-Pin Commands”
on page 14.
By default, Pro Tools emulates a Sony BVW-75
model video deck. You can also configure
Pro Tools to emulate other machines. For more
information, see “Alternate Machine Types” on
page 14.
For instructions on connecting and configuring
Pro Tools for Remote mode, see Chapter 2, “In-
stallation.”
Configuring Remote Mode
To configure Pro Tools for 9-Pin Remote mode:
1 Choose Setups > Peripherals, and select the
MachineControl tab.
2 Make sure the USD is enabled, set to Generate
