Click the Digital Format pop-up to
choose the digital format (AES/EBU or
S/PDIF) for channels 1–2 of the currently
selected interface. If a digital device is con-
nected to both the AES/EBU and S/PDIF
ports of your interface, this pop-up allows
you to choose which port the ADAT Bridge
“listens to” for digital audio input and
word clock input. Only one port can be
used at a time.

Click the Ch 1–2 Input pop-up to select
the input format of channels 1–2 of the
currently selected interface. When config-
uring the Playback Engine and/or Hard-
ware Setup for the ADAT Bridge, do one of
the following:
• Choose ADAT to select optical input
from the ADAT. In this configuration, all
8 channels of the attached ADAT optical
device will appear in Pro Tools.
• Choose Digital to select digital format in-
put from a DAT deck or a word-clock
generating device. When Ch 1–2 Input is
set to Digital, channels 1–2 will carry
data from the digital port (either
AES/EBU or S/PDIF), and channels 3–8
will represent the data from the ADAT.

If you have additional interfaces, config-
ure them in a similar manner.

Click OK to close the Playback Engine
dialog when you have finished.
Pro Tools will remember your configura-
tion until you change it. If you want to
change your Pro Tools hardware configura-
tion in the future, you can do it from any of
these locations:
• The Playback Engine dialog (Setups >
Playback Engine).
– or –
• The Hardware Setup dialog (Setups >
Hardware).
In addition, several settings can be made
from the Session Setup window. These set-
tings are described later in this chapter.
Sync Mode Options
The choices you see for Sync Mode will de-
pend on how you have connected the
ADAT Bridge I/O to Pro Tools.
ADAT Bridge as Primary Interface
If the ADAT Bridge I/O is being used as the
primary audio interface, then the following
choices are available for Sync Mode:
ADAT as clock master
Choose ADAT Opti-
cal to select the ADAT as the clock master
(ADAT Bridge must be your primary audio
interface for this choice to be available).
When the ADAT Bridge is your primary au-
dio interface, this will be the setting to use
for ADAT-to-Pro Tools audio transfers.
