Reassigning the Byte Value for a Track
In a remote machine’s firmware, each record
track on the machine has a unique hexadecimal
byte code that tells the machine which track
should be armed when an arm command is re-
ceived from a remote master. The standard pro-
file (the default setup) corresponds to the Sony
P-2 protocol, but many decks have their own
unique mapping of byte codes to track numbers
for a particular deck.
If an audio or video track, or the deck time code
track do not arm when you click its correspond-
ing track arming button, you may need to assign
a different hex value to the button.
To select a different hex value for an individual
track arm button:
„
Select another hex value byte code from the
Byte Code sub-menu for the appropriate track
arm button.
Entering a New Byte Code
As the Sony P2 protocol continues to expand,
more manufacturers add specific byte code com-
mands that may be listed in the current byte
code list. Pro Tools lets you create entirely new,
custom byte codes. This lets you enter addi-
tional byte commands as needed to support new
features as they are added to decks.
