Synchronization
Connections
For frame-accurate or near-sample-accurate
transfers, you need a third-party synchro-
nization peripheral. Synchronizing the two
systems lets you transfer tracks back and
forth between Pro Tools and your ADATs in
perfect sync. You can then utilize your de-
vices’ combined track capacity for bigger
mixes, fly tracks from tape into Pro Tools
for editing and processing, or use the
ADATs as a backup mechanism for
Pro Tools audio.
The setup requirements for a synchronized
Pro Tools/ADAT system differ slightly de-
pending on the specific device(s) employed
(e.g., BRC, MTP AV, DTP, etc.).
Diagrams are provided for synchronization
connections between your ADAT Bridge
I/O, Pro Tools, and each of the following
devices:
• Alesis BRC with a MIDI interface or with
a Digidesign USD
(see Chapter 5: Synchronizing Pro Tools
and ADAT with an Alesis BRC)
• JL Cooper DataSync 2 and a MIDI inter-
face (see Chapter 6: Synchronizing
Pro Tools and ADAT Using a JL Cooper
DataSync2)
• Mark of the Unicorn MTP AV
(see Chapter 7: Synchronizing Pro Tools
and ADAT using the MTP AV)
• Mark of the Unicorn DTP
(see Chapter 8: Synchronizing Pro Tools
and ADAT Using a Digital TimePiece)
• Opcode Studio 64XTC
(see Chapter 9: Synchronizing Pro Tools
and ADAT using an Opcode Studio 64XTC)
• Other digital devices, including ADAT-
compatible digital mixing consoles
(see Chapter 10: Connecting Pro Tools to an
ADAT-Compatible Digital Mixer)
