To connect Pro Tools and VENUE for
synchronization:
1
Connect the provided SD or HD (SYNC HD
only) video ref signal to a SYNC peripheral
Video Ref connector.
2
To connect the cable carrying time code to the
appropriate In port on the SYNC peripheral, do
the following depending on the type of time
code provided:
• If using LTC, connect the cable to the
LTC In
port.
• If using VITC, connect the cable to the
Video In
port.
3
Connect a coaxial cable from the
Word Clock
Out
port of the SYNC peripheral to the
Word
Clock In
port on the VENUE system. The VENUE
system automatically detects incoming word
clock and displays
EXT
in the Mode box on-
screen
.
4
If you are also using an Avid audio peripheral
such as a 192 I/O, connect a coaxial cable from
the Loop SYNC Out port of the SYNC peripheral
to Loop Sync In port on the audio interface.
Continue to loop to the last audio interface in
the chain. Leave the
last
Loop Sync Out connec-
tor in the chain unconnected.
5
Connect a DigiSerial cable from the SYNC pe-
ripheral serial connector to the DigiSerial port
on the Pro Tools HD Core card.
To configure Pro Tools:
6
In Pro Tools, choose
Setup > Peripherals
, click
the Synchronization tab, and choose
Enable
Sync HD
or
Enable SYNC I/O
depending on the
peripheral used.
7
Choose
Setup > Session,
and in the Format
section of the Session Setup window, do the fol-
lowing:
• From the
Clock Source
pop-up menu,
choose
SYNC
as the clock source.
– and –
If the SYNC peripheral is the last device in the
video sync chain, a 75-ohm BNC terminator
must be attached to the unused Video Ref
connector.
If you are using an external third-party
MADI device connected to a VENUE MADI
card, the MADI device must be clocked to the
same source as everything thing else. See the
VENUE MADI Card guide for information
on synchronizing external MADI devices to
your VENUE system.
