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
loaded onto a video track in a session in
Pro Tools LE.
Linking the Video Satellite LE
System
When a Pro Tools LE system has been con-
nected as a video satellite, it can then be placed
in a linked state. When the video satellite sys-
tem is linked, it will follow the transport com-
mands from and run in sync with the adminis-
trator system. When the satellite system is
unlinked, its transport acts like a normal
Pro Tools LE 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 win-
dow.
For information on creating and opening
sessions and loading video files in
Pro Tools LE, see the Pro Tools Reference
Guide.
The Pro Tools|HD system will not respond
to playback commands from the Video Sat-
ellite LE system. Transport commands must
originate from the Pro Tools|HD system.
