Synchronization Preferences
Machine Control Section
Machine Chases Memory Location When se-
lected, navigating to a specific location in a ses-
sion with a Memory Location causes a con-
nected transport to chase to that location.
Machine Follows Edit Insertion/Scrub
When se-
lected, navigating to a specific location in a ses-
sion by moving the selection point or by scrub-
bing a track will cause a connected transport to
chase to that location.
When the connected device is a linear device
(such as a tape deck), select
Linear Devices (jog)
to
set Pro Tools to send jog commands.
When the connected device is a non-linear de-
vice (such as a random-access video recorder or
another Pro Tools system), select
Non-Linear De-
vices (cue)
to set Pro Tools to send cue com-
mands.
Machine Cues Intelligently (Pro Tools HD
Only)
When selected, if you navigate to a cue
point that is more than 10 seconds from the cur-
rent location, Pro Tools will command a con-
nected transport to fast wind to the new loca-
tion at full speed to within 10 seconds of the cue
point. Cueing will then slow to normal speed
until the point is reached. This can significantly
speed up tape cueing with certain video trans-
ports.
Stop at Shuttle Speed Zero (Pro Tools HD
Only)
Causes Pro Tools to send a Stop command
whenever you stop shuttling. This is useful if
you have a machine that requires an explicit
stop command to park correctly.
Non-Linear Transport Error Suppression (Pro Tools
HD Only)
When Transport = Pro Tools, keeps
Pro Tools from sending a Stop command when
taken offline. This prevents Pro Tools from stop-
ping any other 9-pin devices connected to the
system.
