SYNC I/O - MIX System Requirements
Compatibility Announcement
March 21, 2002
Digidesign is happy to announce that our new SYNC I/O synchronization device is now approved to work with Pro Tools|24 MIX systems. SYNC I/O offers full integration with both Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools|24 MIX systems, offers instant recall of all settings with Pro Tools software, features a greatly improved Word Clock for improved sound quality over the Universal Slave Driver (USD), and features processor speeds that operate at 4x the speed of the USD.
To use SYNC I/O with Pro Tools|24 MIX systems you must follow these three steps:
-
Pro Tools 5.1.3 software or higher is required
-
When the Pro Tools application is not running, you must manually set the Word Clock out to 256x using the front panel button on the front of the SYNC I/O (this step is not necessary with Pro Tools 6.0 for Mac OS X)
-
You must connect the SYNC I/O's "Word Clock (1x, 256x)" out BNC connector to the Pro Tools|24 MIX audio interfaces "Slave Clock In" BNC connector
Note: SYNC I/O's MachineControl ports are not functional when used with Pro Tools|24 MIX systems.
