Introduction to Satellite Link
The Avid
®
Satellite Link option lets you link up
to 5 Pro Tools
®
systems (or up to 4 Pro Tools sys-
tems and an Avid Media Composer
®
, Avid
Symphony Nitris DX
®
, or Video Satellite LE sys-
tem) over an Ethernet network so that you can
cue, play, and stop the transports, make play se-
lections, and solo tracks across any of the sys-
tems from any linked workstation.
From each linked Pro Tools system, Satellite
Link lets you link and unlink networked systems
and see the link status of other connected sys-
tems.
By setting Satellite Link preferences, you can
configure those Pro Tools systems for single- or
multi-operator workflows.
Satellite Link can be used simultaneously with
Avid MachineControl™. Satellite Link allows
one linked Pro Tools system to go online and
drive a 9-pin capable device.
On systems with a D-Control™ console, Satellite
Link can work in conjunction with D-Control
Multi-mode, allowing you to operate the trans-
port of any of the networked Pro Tools systems
from the D-Control Transport section.
System Requirements and
Compatibility
Satellite Link requires a Avid-qualified
Pro Tools|HD
®
system running Pro Tools 8.0 or
higher.
Each satellite Pro Tools system must have an
iLok authorization for the Satellite Link option
and have an Ethernet connection to a Local Area
Network (LAN). The administrator Pro Tools
system does not require an iLok authorization.
In addition, each Pro Tools system in a Satellite
Link network must be resolved to a common
video reference, or “house sync,” using a
SYNC HD™ or SYNC I/O™ sync peripheral.
To use Media Composer with Satellite Link,
Media Composer 3.1 or higher (with the Video
Satellite option) is required.
To use Symphony Nitris DX, version 5.0 or
higher (with the Video Satellite option) is
required.
Avid can only assure compatibility and provide
support for hardware and software it has tested
and approved.

Video Satellite LE provides limited Satellite
Link features. For more information on using
