Chapter 4: Using Video Satellite LE
Getting Started
Before the Video Satellite LE system can be used
to play back video, the video file(s) must be im-
ported to a video track in a Pro Tools session.
Linking the Video Satellite
LE System
After a Pro Tools system has been connected as
a video satellite, it can then be placed in a linked
state. When this system is linked, it follows the
transport commands from the administrator
system, and runs in sync with it. When the sat-
ellite system is unlinked, its transport acts like a
normal Pro Tools system.
Link Controls
When a Pro Tools system has been declared as a
satellite, the following controls appear in the
Transport window:
Link Button Controls the link status of the local
system.
Satellite Link Buttons control the link status of
the other satellite systems. On every system, one
of these buttons corresponds to that system’s
main Link button.
Link buttons highlight to indicate linked status.
To display link controls in the Transport window:
 Choose View > Transport > Synchronization and
View > Transport > Expanded.
To link or unlink the local Video Satellite LE
system:
 Click the Link button in the Transport
window.
To link or unlink the administrator Pro Tools
system or other satellite systems:
 Click the corresponding Satellite Link button
in the Transport window.
For information on creating and opening
sessions and importing video files in
Pro Tools, see the Pro Tools Reference
Guide.
The administrator Pro Tools system does
not respond to playback commands from the
Video Satellite LE system. Transport com-
mands must originate from the main
Pro Tools system.
