MachineControl
On MachineControl-enabled Pro Tools systems,
SYNC peripherals support limited Serial Deck
Control only. For full use of MachineControl option features, a direct serial connection to the
host Pro Tools computer is required.
Synchronization and
Timecode Connections to
Machines, Decks, and Other
Devices
The following sections describe connections
required for different applications. For more
information on timecode applications, see
Chapter 6, Additional Synchronization Information.

port.
For SYNC HD only, even when you have an
HD video reference signal connected to the
Video Ref connector, you can still connect an
SD video signal to the Video In connector to
provide a window dub.
To use the SYNC peripheral Timecode Character
Generator to make a window burn:
Connecting LTC
SYNC peripherals provide LTC input and output
connectors.
To input LTC to a SYNC peripheral:

The Video Ref ports are an un-terminated loopthrough that allows black burst or other video
reference to be passed to another device. The
second port outputs whatever signal is present
first port, whether the SYNC peripheral is on or
off.
When you connect a signal to one of these ports,
you must do one of the following:
Connect a 75-ohm BNC terminator
(included with the SYNC peripheral) to the
other Video Ref port
or
Make sure another terminated video device
is fed from the other Video Ref port.
If the SYNC peripheral is the last device in
the video sync chain, a 75-ohm BNC terminator must be attached to this connector.
LTC In/Out

source, balanced or unbalanced analog, for positional and/or clock reference. This port is often
used to receive LTC from an audio track on an
external deck or the address track of a VTR. Adjustable LTC servo gain is available in Pro Tools
and from the front panel.
LTC output level is adjustable from the Synchronization page of the Peripherals dialog in
Pro Tools, the controls on the front panel of the
SYNC peripheral, or the SYNC Setup software
utility (Windows only).
See Chapter 8, Wiring Diagrams and Pin Assignments for wiring details.

This control determines which line pair of incoming video signal is used for the VITC source.
When set to Auto, the SYNC peripheral will
search for the first valid line pair automatically.
Alternatively, this value can be set to specific
VITC line pairs.
VITC Generate Lines
This control determines the line pair of the outgoing video signal onto which the SYNC peripheral inserts VITC. Normally, this should be left
at the default (and preferred) setting of 14/16.

If you have only a single SD (standard definition) video source, and if the video source and
the SYNC peripheral have a common video reference, then you can connect the SD video signal
to the Video In connector.
In situations where a common Word clock is required between Pro Tools systems or consoles,
you can still use Video Reference to maintain
sample accurate sync while using:
the Satellite Link option to synchronize
multiple Pro Tools systems
Pro Tools as a dubber or stem recorder in
Remote Mode or Deck Control mode
a Pro Tools system in a Video Satellite configuration (if digital audio interconnects
are required)
Video Reference and Frame Edge

Configuring SYNC Peripherals to use
Video Reference and Word Clock
If the video reference and the Word clock reference are derived from the same house sync generator, you can configure the SYNC peripheral to
simultaneously use Video Reference for frame
alignment and Word clock for clock reference.
There are two ways to configure SYNC peripherals to use Video Reference and Word Clock:

Pilot Tone
SYNC peripherals can resolve to an external Pilot Tone signal for clock reference, for synchronizing to (or transferring audio from) certain
types of open-reel audio tape recorders. Pilot
Tone is basically a 60 Hz (NTSC) or 50 Hz (PAL)
sine wave tone. Pilot Tone is used on location
film shoots to establish a common sync reference between a film or video camera with a portable 1/4-inch analog ATR. Pilot Tone contains
no positional information; it provides only clock
reference.
The SYNC peripheral decides whether to use
60 Hz or 50 Hz as the pilot tone reference frequency according to the setting of the Video
Format. When set to PAL, the pilot tone frequency is assumed to be 50 Hz. When set to
NTSC, 60 Hz is assumed.
Connect the Pilot Tone reference source to the
SYNC peripheral Bi-Phase/Tach/GPI/Pilot port.
To resolve the SYNC peripheral to Pilot Tone using

Bi-Phase/Tach
Bi-Phase/Tach signals are clock reference signals, and do not contain positional information
of their own. However, they do contain enough
information for SYNC Peripherals to calculate
positional information.
To calculate positional reference from
Bi-Phase/Tach, the SYNC peripheral must be
given a starting frame address and a specific
pulses-per-frame value. Each of these related
settings are explained in the following sections.
Serial Timecode
For MachineControl-equipped Pro Tools systems, serial timecode from either 9-pin port can
be used for positional reference.
For details on using serial timecode with
SYNC Peripherals, see the MachineControl
Guide.
46
SYNC HD Guide
In the SYNC Setup software utility (Windows only), select Bi-Phase/Tach from the
Positional Ref pop-up menu.
Continue by setting the starting frame as described in Bi-Phase/Tach Starting Frame on
page 47, and setting other Input Signals options,
as appropriate.
In order to use the Bi-Phase/Tach signal as a positional reference, the SYNC peripheral also
needs to know the timecode address for a particular frame of film. This positional relationship
is established by parking the film device at a
particular frame and setting the SYNC peripheral to the equivalent timecode value using the
Bi-Phase/Tach Starting Frame parameter.
To set the Bi-Phase/Tach start frame using

VITC Generation/Regeneration
When you use a SYNC peripheral to regenerate
or generate VITC, youll be inserting VITC into
an existing video signal. The input is derived according to the following rule.
VITC Video Source Rule
The SYNC peripheral Video Out signal is connected to the destination device. The SYNC peripheral is then able to stripe the second VTRs
videotape with VITC. (At the same time, you
might also want to insert a window dub. See
Generating a Window Dub on page 56.)
Unlike LTC, SYNC peripherals can regenerate VITC with both forward and reverse
timecode addresses.
The SYNC peripheral regenerates VITC and inserts it onto the video signal (as soon as it receives a valid clock reference signal and positional reference signal).
To regenerate VITC based on an external
positional reference using the front panel
controls:
Connect the video source to the SYNC peripheral Video Ref connector and loop the signal to
the SYNC peripheral Video Input connector.
Press Set.

Internal VITC Generation
SYNC peripherals can also generate VITC internally, using the integral timecode generating
feature. In this mode (Positional Reference
switch = Generate) you can use either an external clock reference, or the SYNC peripheral internal crystal as a clock reference with a variable
start time.
When generating VITC internally, if the insertion is not timed based upon an upstream video
reference you may encounter repeated or
skipped VITC frames. Refer to VITC Timing
Rule on page 71 and VITC Video Source Rule
on page 52.

MTC Generation/Regeneration
MTC (MIDI Timecode) is a serial digital signal.
In many ways, you can think of it as an inaudible
type of LTC that can be used by various MIDI devices.
MTC is available from the SYNC peripheral MTC
Out connector, which is a standard DIN-style 5pin female MIDI connector.
To use MTC, connect MTC Out to a MIDI In connector of a device that can recognize and use
MTC. Typically, this would be a console, sequencer, synthesizer or sampler keyboard, a
drum machine or other device.
Generate.
55
MTC is normally output whenever LTC is output. Whenever LTC output stops, the SYNC peripheral will continue to output MTC in bursts
of one frame every 200 milliseconds. This allows
any connected MIDI-reading device to be continuously updated as to the position of VITC or
Bi-Phase (either of which might be operating at
slow or still speeds). Thus, you can still use a
connected MIDI device for Auto-Spotting from
VITC or Bi-Phase.
Optionally, this constant output can be set to
mute when timecode (LTC) is idle.

SYNC HD Guide
A black burst signal is essentially a positionless video signal. As with any shared video
signal, youll want to ensure that your video feed
comes from a properly buffered and distributed
source, such as a video distribution amplifier, or
the house video reference/black burst output of
another device in the chain.
Resolving to video instead of house video
reference (black burst)
two VTRs, Pro Tools, and a SYNC peripheral, using the video signal as the clock reference is often satisfactory. In these situations, proper synchronization can be achieved using the video
signal as clock reference.
Why VITC is Unavailable for Clock Reference
71
As an example, if you are using LTC as a positional reference from a 3/4-inch U-Matic VTR,
then that VTR should be referenced to the same
video signal that you are applying to the SYNC
peripheral. As another example, in Generator
Preset Mode (Positional Reference = Generate),
a clock reference of Internal is not a good
choice, simply because the SYNC peripheral internal crystal runs asynchronously with respect
to the supplied video signal, and thus repeated
or skipped frame addresses are sure to eventually occur.
It is good practice on a 24-track analog tape machine to record timecode on Track 24 at a reference level of 10 dBu (or lower), with Track 23
left blank as a guard track. This practice
avoids crosstalk bleed that can occur between
the timecode track and otherwise adjacent audio
tracks. Timecode (which is a mid-frequency alternating pitch square wave) is very sensitive to
crosstalk from adjacent tracks, and conversely
you dont want audible timecode leaking onto
your audio tracks.
LTC Signals
Because its an analog audio signal, LTC can
sometimes be susceptible to either tape dropouts (tape shedding), or to level mismatches between the LTC source and the LTC input. The
SYNC peripheral Freewheeling feature allows
you to compensate for brief timecode dropouts.
However, if you have serious dropouts, you may
not be able to sustain accurate synchronization.
If you plan to use LTC as a clock reference
(whether or not you are also using it as a positional reference), you will need to ensure that
your LTC is recorded at as high a level as possible without distortion, and that there are no
dropouts longer than 1/80th of a frame.
A SYNC peripheral reads LTC most reliably
when fed with a LTC signal of at least 12 dBu
(and preferably 0 dBu to +3 dBu.)
LTC Servo Gain
You can adjust the servo gain of the SYNC peripheral LTC input from the SYNC peripheral
front panel controls and from the Pro Tools Session Setup window. See Servo Gain on page 63
for more information.
72
SYNC HD Guide
If your ATR is under the control of a synchronizer, you must make sure that the synchronizer
and the SYNC peripheral are both locked to the
same reference source (such as a video black
burst generator.)
Auto-Switch LTC/VITC
Auto-Switch LTC/VITC lets the SYNC peripheral automatically select between these two
(timecode) sources.
LTC and VITC both provide useful and unique
capabilities. For instance, it is impossible to
read LTC off a paused videotape. Consequently,
using only LTC, theres no way you can use Pro
Tools to perform Auto-Spotting of clips when
the tape is paused. However, VITC continues to
be read as long as the picture remains visible, so
it can be used as a positional reference when the
VTR is paused. On the other hand, VITC cannot
be read at fast winding speeds (except by broadcast-quality VTRs); LTC can be read at fast
winding speeds, as long as its signal remains
within the high-end frequency response of the
ATR or VTR.
AES/EBU
73
Bi-Phase/Tach
Bi-Phase and Tach are used with mag machine,16, 35, and 70 mm projectors, flatbed editing systems and other types of motor-driven
film equipment. Bi-Phase (sometimes called
Quadrature Sync) and Tach information are
similar, though they do differ.
Bi-Phase A Bi-Phase signal consists of two
square waves, which are generated directly by a
devices transport mechanism, and which are
90 out-of-phase with one another. As a BiPhase-generating device plays it outputs a
steady stream of square waves that the SYNC peripheral can use as its clock reference, at nearly
any speed including still/paused.
The SYNC peripheral uses the phase relationship between the two square waves to determine
the devices direction (forward or reverse).
However, this is relevant only when the SYNC
peripheral is using the Bi-Phase signal as a positional reference.
Tach A Tach signal is a variation of Bi-Phase.
SYNC HD Guide

Square Wave B
Bi-Phase/Tach signals
Please note that Pilot Tone contains no positional information; it is simply a clock reference. Most 1/4-inch machines have a center
track for timecode or pilot.
Pilot Tone
SYNC peripherals can resolve to an external Pilot Tone signal for synchronizing to (or transferring audio from) certain types of open-reel
audio tape recorders.
In general, Pilot Tone is a sine wave reference
signal running at the line frequency or mains
frequency, meaning the same frequency transmitted by the AC line voltage from the local
power utility.
Pilot Tone is used on location film shoots to establish a common synchronization reference between a film or video camera with a portable
1/4-inch analog ATR (such as those made by Nagra or Stellavox). On location, Pilot Tone is derived by clock referencing the camera to the local AC line frequency (which is 60 Hz or 50 Hz
depending on the country of origin), and this
same frequency is then used to clock-reference
the ATR. The result is that both the camera and
the ATR will run at the same speed.
You can think of Pilot Tone as a kind of inexpensive and readily available house sync for location production. Increasingly, its being replaced by timecode, since new-generation film
cameras as well as many portable DAT recorders
are timecode-capable.

LTC Connectors
SYNC peripheral LTC In and LTC Out connectors are balanced XLRs with Pin 2 wired + or
hot, Pin 3 wired or cold, and Pin 1 wired
to ground (shield). Depending on whether you
are connecting a balanced or unbalanced signal
to these connectors, different wiring configurations are recommended for optimum signal integrity, especially for long cable runs.

Bi-phase/Tach/GPI/Pilot Port
Interfacing Notes
The six opto-isolators are 6N137 devices. The
four GPI input ports pass through 390 ohm series resistors to the cathode. The two BiPhase/Tach inputs pass through 634 ohm series
resistors to the cathode.
SYNC peripherals have a total of four Relaylevel GPI outputs on pins 3/4, 3-10 of the DB25
connector (see the circuit diagram GPI
(TTL)/MTC Outputs).
The GPI Relay outputs are intended to drive Relay loads only.
