Chapter 3: Using Satellite Link

13

Using Satellite Link with 
MachineControl

MachineControl Deck Control Mode can be 
used to operate a 9-pin synchronization device 
(such as a Soundmaster ATOM or a CB Electron-
ics 9-Pin synchronizer), allowing Pro Tools to 
act as a “code only master” for systems con-
trolled by the synchronizer.

Satellite Link lets you use MachineControl on 
one linked Pro Tools system at a time.

‹

When one linked Pro Tools system is already 

online and you go online with another linked 
Pro Tools system, Satellite Link will automati-
cally take the first system offliine.

‹

Any linked Pro Tools systems set to 

“Transport=Pro Tools” will follow Satellite Link 
transport commands. 

‹

Any linked Pro Tools systems set to “Trans-

port=Machine” cannot transmit Satellite link 
transport commands, but will follow Satellite 
Link transport commands if they are offline.
