What's Fixed in Pro Tools TDM 5.1.3cs11?

Fixed: Random occurrence of time code lock dropouts (Item 15614)

With previous versions of Pro Tools software and the Universal Slave Driver, Pro Tools would occasionally drop out of time code lock. This was due to a communication problem between Pro Tools and the Universal Slave Driver, which is fixed by this version of Pro Tools.
