Hardware Connections
The following are the primary hardware connec-
tions on a SYNC HD:
• AC Power
• Serial to the serial port on the first HDX card,
HD Native PCIe card, or HD Native Thunder-
bolt peripheral
• Clock to Pro Tools audio interfaces
• 9-pin to external machines (requires the
Pro Tools MachineControl Software option)
• Synchronization, including positional and clock
references to and from remote machines
AC Power
The AC connector on SYNC HD accepts a stan-

work with a standard modular cable to connect to
AC power receptacles in any country.
Serial Connections
