Chapter 3: Using Satellite Link

11

Linking Play Selections

You can set linked Pro Tools systems to transmit 
and receive play selections from other satellite 
systems. This lets you configure your setup to se-
lectively mirror Edit window selections between 
systems, or to have all systems mirror Edit win-
dow selections on all other systems. 

‹

If you are working in a multi-user dub stage 

environment where dialog, FX, and music reside 
on different systems, it can be useful to set those 
systems to only transmit play selections, and set 
the recorder/video Pro Tools system to only re-
ceive play selections.

‹

If you are working in a single-user mix envi-

ronment and are moving between systems, it 
can be useful to set all systems to transmit and 
receive play selections, so that you can work 
with the same selection on any system.

To set satellite Pro Tools systems to mirror play 
selections on other satellite systems

1  

On the systems where you will be making play 

selections, do the following:

• Choose 

Setup > Preferences

 and click 

Syn-

chronization

– and –

• In  the 

Satellites

 section of the Synchroniza-

tion page, select the 

Transmit Play Selections 

option.

2  

On the systems that you want to mirror the 

play selections, do the following:

• Choose 

Setup > Preferences

 and click 

Syn-

chronization

– and –

• In  the 

Satellites

 section of the Synchroniza-

tion page, select the 

Receive Play Selections 

option.

3  

Make sure the systems are linked.

Solo Linking

You can set linked Pro Tools systems to transmit 
the solo status of their tracks and receive solo 
status information from other satellite systems. 

‹

If you are working in a multi-user dub stage 

environment where dialog, FX, and music reside 
on different systems, it can be useful to set those 
systems to send and receive solos, and set the re-
corder/video Pro Tools system so that it does not 
transmit or receive solos. 

‹

If you are working in a single-user mix envi-

ronment and are moving between systems, it 
might be useful to set all systems to transmit 
and receive solos, so that solos propagate across 
all systems.

Solo Safe 

When Solo Linking is enabled, tracks 

on all systems retain their Solo Safe status.

Solo Clear 

When Solo Linking is enabled, a Solo 

Clear operation (Solo) clears all solos on 
systems set to receive solos. 

To set satellite Pro Tools systems to transmit or 
receive solo status:

1  

On the systems that you want to solo tracks, 

do the following:

• Choose 

Setup > Preferences

 and click 

Syn-

chronization

– and –

• In  the 

Satellites

 section of the Synchroniza-

tion page, select the 

Transmit Solos

 option. 

2  

On the systems where you want tracks to fol-

low solo behavior for solos on other systems, do 
the following:

• Choose 

Setup > Preferences

 and click 

Syn-

chronization

– and –

• In  the 

Satellites

 section of the Synchroniza-

tion page, select the 

Receive Solos

 option.
