9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation)
(Pro Tools HD with Machine Control Only)
The 9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation) settings let
you configure Pro Tools for 9-Pin Remote (Deck
Emulation) mode. This mode makes Pro Tools
operate as a virtual tape deck, supporting most
standard Sony P2 9-pin commands. By default,
Pro Tools emulates a Sony BVW-75 model video
deck. You can also configure Pro Tools to emu-
late other machines.
Enable
When the Enable option is selected, Pro Tools is
in 9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation) mode.
Port
The Port setting lets you select the 9-pin Machi-
neControl port. The available choices depend
on your platform and configuration
Machine Type
The Machine Type setting lets you select the ma-
chine description for specific machine control-
lers (such as the Soundmaster ATOM). By de-
fault, Pro Tools emulates a Sony BVW-75.
Chase LTC
When Chase LTC is enabled, Pro Tools still re-
sponds to track arming and record commands.
However, Pro Tools will chase incoming LTC in-
stead of behaving as a master or slave device
with the machine controller. By slaving
Pro Tools to the LTC source instead of slaving
the machine to Pro Tools time code, you can
avoid the waiting (and tape wear) that occurs
while a machine transport locates and bumps
tape to the cue point.
MIDI Controllers
The MIDI Controllers page lets you configure up
to four different MIDI controllers for Pro Tools.
Number and Color
The number of the row indicates the order of the
selected controllers. The color corresponds to
the controller focus around Pro Tools track and
plug-in controls.
Type
The Type setting lets you select the MIDI control-
ler connected to your computer. Choose from
any of the following types of MIDI controllers:
• Command|8
• HUI
• MotorMix
• CS-10
• PC-1600
• Surround Panner
• M-Audio Keyboard
Receive From
The Receive From setting lets you select the MIDI
In port to which your MIDI controller is con-
nected.
