What's Fixed in Pro Tools 5.1.1cs5 for TDM Mac
& Pro Tools LE 5.1.1cs4 for Mac/Win 98SE/Win Me?
Pro Tools 5.1.1cs5 TDM (and PT LE 5.1.1cs4, where applicable) contain
the following:
1. New Delay After Play Command Preference
for Correct Lock Up When Using Deck Emulation Mode
When using Pro Tools 5.1.1 with Digidesign's Machine Control option
to operate Pro Tools in remote "deck emulation" mode, Pro Tools
may have difficulty locking up when chasing an inconsistent master
device. To address this, Pro Tools 5.1.1 cs5 adds a new "Delay After
Play Command" setting in the Operations page of Pro Tools Preferences.
This new setting provides the user the ability to specify an amount
of time, in frames, during which Pro Tools is able to correctly
align its time-code position with the master machine before beginning
synchronized playback. Most users will want to start with a setting
of 30 frames. The setting can then be further adjusted as needed
to achieve smooth lock-ups with the specific master device and machine
controller in the system. It is also suggested that the Open Ended
Record Allocation/ "Limit to: Ö minutes" Preference (also in the
Operations page) be set to a value less than 30 minutes. This will
ensure quick record allocation once Pro Tools has aligned its time-code
position with the machine control master device.
2. Fix for Incorrect Track Arming when in 9
pin Remote "Deck-Emulation" Mode
When using Pro Tools TDM 5.1 or 5.1.1 (Mac) with Digidesign's Machine
Control option to operate Pro Tools in remote "deck emulation" mode,
remote track arming could incorrectly arm tracks 9 and above. Pro
Tools 5.1.1 cs5 corrects the behavior so that remote track arming
operates correctly for tracks 1 through 48. Additionally, it adds
specific settings for working as a remote device with Soundmaster
ION controllers.
3. Fix for Incorrect Timestamps in the Spot
Dialog When using SDII Files
With sessions that include a timeline that extends over 12 hours,
incorrect timestamps for SDII files with timestamps over 12 hours
are shown in the Spot dialog. The problem exists in Pro Tools versions
5.1 and 5.1.1 for TDM Mac, LE Mac and LE Win 98SE/Me. Pro Tools
5.1.1 cs5 fixes this problem.
4. Ethernet Port correctly recognized by Controls
Surfaces when Airport Extension is enabled
With Pro Tools 5.1 and 5.1.1, if the Apple Airport v1.2 extension
is present in the System Extensions folder, the Ethernet port, and
therefore the Ethernet-based Controllers, will not be correctly
recognized by Pro Tools. Pro Tools 5.1.1 cs5 correctly fixes this
problem so that ProControl and Control|24 can be used with Pro Tools
when the Airport extension is enabled.
5. PT 5.1.1cs5 also includes fix from PT 5.1.1
cs4 Fix for Incorrect Import of Timestamp Information with
SDII Files Created with Tascam's MX2424 or Zaxcom's Deva Recorder
When importing Sound Designer II audio files created by third party
products such as Zaxcom's Deva Recorder and Tascam's MX2424, Pro
Tools does not correctly import the associated timestamps. This
is the case when importing using Pro Tools' Import File dialog or
by dragging and dropping files onto the Pro Tools application icon.
This problem exists in Pro Tools versions 5.1 and 5.1.1 for TDM
Mac, LE Mac and LE Win 98SE/Me. Pro Tools 5.1.1cs4 correctly fixes
this problem so that these imported files include the correct timestamp
information.
Please note that the Read Mes for Pro Tools 5.1.1 cs2 and cs3 incorrectly
state that these versions include the fix for timestamp problems
when importing files created by the Zaxcom Deva Recorder. These
versions do correct the problem with files created using Tascam's
MX2424, but not Zaxcom's Deva Recorder.
6. PT 5.1.1cs5 also includes fix from PT 5.1.1
cs4 Missing Region Definitions when Importing SD II Files
Created by MOTU's Digital Performer
When importing Sound Designer II audio files created by MOTU's
Digital Performer, only the first region definition of all the region
definitions associated with a particular audio file is recognized
by Pro Tools. This problem occurs with Pro Tools versions 5.1.1
for TDM Mac, LE Mac and LE Win 98SE/Me. Pro Tools 5.1.1cs4 correctly
fixes this problem so that all regions definitions for Sound Designer
II files created by Digital Performer are imported and recognized
by Pro Tools.
7. PT 5.1.1 cs4 and cs5 also includes fix from
PT 5.1.1 cs3 Support for Remote Machine Control of Pro Tools
using CB Electronics' SR-4 ControllerPerformer
Pro Tools 5.1.1 with Digidesign's MachineControl option adds support
for Pro Tools to operate in "deck emulation" mode and be remotely
transport-controlled by certain compatible devices. However, Pro
Tools 5.1.1 will not work correctly with the Colin Broad Electronics
SR-4. Pro Tools 5.1.1 cs3 and cs4 includes specific support for
the SR series of Remote Controllers from Colin Broad Electronics.

update. Pro Tools 5.1.1cs5 for TDM Mac and 5.1.1cs4 for LE Mac and
Windows are provided as interim "customer support (CS)" releases
to address the issues described. While our testing has not shown
these changes introduce other problems, these versions have not
been fully qualified by Digidesign.
