Reset Bi-Phase
This button lets you set the Bi-Phase/Tach start
frame from Pro Tools. Clicking the button up-
dates the Time Code Display on the Digidesign
synchronization peripheral to match the session
time code value.
Enable Dub Window
When this option is selected, you can insert a
time code window into a video signal with the
following Window dub appearance settings:
Vertical Position
Sets the vertical position of the
window dub, relative to the bottom of the video
picture. The choices range from 10% From Bot-
tom to 50% From Bottom, in 10% increments.
Horizontal Position
Sets the relative horizontal
position of the window dub within the video
picture. The choices include Extreme Left, Left,
Center, Right and Extreme Right.
Size
Sets the relative size of the window dub
(Small or Large).
Color
Sets the color of the time code numbers in
the window dub, and the background color for
the window dub. The choices include White on
Black Bkgnd, Black on White Bkgnd, White on
Video Bkgnd, or Black on Video Bkgnd. (Video
Bkgnd means that the background of the win-
dow dub is transparent, so that the time code
numbers are displayed directly on top of the
video signal, without a contrasting background
box.) The default setting is White on Black
Bkgnd.
Machine Control
The MachineControl page lets you configure
Pro Tools for use with MIDI Machine Control or
9-Pin Machine Control.
MIDI Machine Control (Master)
Enable
When the Enable option is selected, Pro Tools is
the Master and it sends MMC commands to the
slave device and receives MTC information back
from the slave device.
MIDI Out Port
The MIDI Out Port pop-up menu lets you select
the MIDI Out port to which the slave device is
connected.
“10% from Bottom” vertical position is out-
side the standard “safe title” area, which
means it may not be visible on some video
monitors.
The “Extreme” horizontal positions are out-
side the standard “safe title” area, which
means they may not be visible on some
video monitors.
