High-Quality, Versatile Synchronizer for Pro Tools
SYNC I/O is a multi-purpose syn-
chronization device that supports all
industry-standard clock sources and
time code formats. Accommodating
the high sample rates intrinsic to Pro
Tools|HD with the utmost accuracy,
SYNC I/O features near sample-accu-
rate lock to time code or bi-phase/tach signals and a 192 kHz capable, high-fidelity, low-jitter Word Clock. AES/EBU clock
I/O, video reference in/thru, video program in/out, and a host of other features make SYNC I/O the most consistent,
dependable solution for Pro Tools|HD installations in commercial music and post production facilities.
◆ High-fidelity, low-jitter clock design pro-
vides maximum audio fidelity, even when
locked to varying external timing sources
(such as when generating Word Clock from
free-running SMPTE time code).
◆ Extremely fast lock up time while main-
taining near sample-accurate lock at sam-
ple rates up to 192 kHz.
◆ Wo rd Clock I/O up to 192 kHz capable
◆ Time code formats supported include LTC,
VITC, bi-phase and MTC out.
◆ Clock sources supported include video ref-
erence (blackburst),video signal, LTC
resolve,AES, word, bi-phase, and internal.
◆ While locked to clock or positional refer-
ence formats, SYNC I/O simultaneously
generates LTC,VITC, MTC, Super Clock,
Word Clock and AES Null Clock.
◆ Supports direct translation of bi-phase and
tach pulses to the various output formats,
allowing time code/clock generation from
mag machines and flatbed editors.The ref-
erence lock point for the signals can be set
either from the front panel or from the
SYNC I/O Setup application.
◆ Supports industry-standard pull-up/pull-
down rates for film/video
◆ Two 9-pin ports allow dual device control
when using Machine Control option in
master or remote slave mode.
◆ Large, bright, and easy-to-read 7-segment
time code display along with source and
status lights, allowing quick and easy access
to reader/generator functionality.
◆ Local Mode allows front panel control of all
parameters, including clock references and
time code reading or generation.
◆ Remote Mode allows you to control SYNC
I/O’s parameters via Pro Tools or the SYNC
I/O Setup application. SYNC I/O switches
to Remote Mode automatically when either
of these applications are launched.
◆ Using auto-configuration, all settings can
be saved and instantly recalled with each
session.
◆ Add visual time code window burn to video
signals passed through the video I/O.
Positioning and placement of the window
burn can be controlled from Pro Tools or
SYNC I/O setup software.

DigiDrive FireWire 80—Pro Tools-compatible
80GB FireWire Hard Drive
Process, store and retrieve more information
more affordably than ever before.The 80
GB DigiDrive FireWire 80 supports 24
tracks of 24-bit/44.1 kHz audio per drive —
and may be connected to a second drive for
a total of 48 tracks. It’s as easy as hooking
up a FireWire cable.
◆ Rapid throughput via FireWire connectivity
◆ Certified compatibility with Pro Tools (Mac OS and Windows)
◆ Designed for both removable rack-mounting (with optional rackmount kit) and inter-
locked stacking, the self-contained DigiDrive enclosure lets you choose the configura-
tion that best fits your system.Plug & play makes setup simple,and FireWire drives can
be hot-swapped without rebooting the host computer.
◆ Digidesign’s exclusive QuietDrive technology dramatically reduces drive noise by up to
20 dB to a whisper. DigiDrive also keeps your data cool and safe with advanced thermal
sensing circuitry that enhances cooling efficiency by controlling fan speed. There’s even
a built-in heat detection/indicator circuit to alert you to potential problems before
either the drive or your critical data are threatened.
