From the Satellite pop-up menu, do one of the 

following:

• To connect to a video satellite, select the 

name of the computer on which the 
Media Station|PT is installed.

– or –

out connecting to another, select None.

Pro Tools and the video satellite are now con-
nected to each other. The Transport controls 
display the Video Satellite Link button to con-

Caveats for Connecting Pro Tools 
and a Video Satellite

The following caveats apply to connections be-
tween Pro Tools and video satellites:

• Only one Pro Tools system can connect to a 

satellite at a time. Once a satellite is connected 
to one Pro Tools system, its name appears 
grayed out in the Satellite menu of other 
Pro Tools systems. 

• Quitting a Pro Tools application that is con-

nected to a video satellite releases the video 
satellite so that it can connect to other 
Pro Tools systems.

• If you quit Pro Tools while a satellite is con-

nected, Pro Tools attempts to re-connect to 
the same satellite on relaunch.

• When working with 24p and 23.976 projects, 

Media Station|PT defaults to displaying 
frames mapped to 29.97 fps timecode. In or-
der to keep the Pro Tools and 
Media Station|PT time code displays in sync 
when working in 24p or 23.976 projects, click 
the time code display above the Record mon-
itor and choose Sequence > Timecode > 24 > 
Mas.

• When used with a video satellite in Satellite 

Mode, Pro Tools does not chase MIDI Time 
Code (MTC).
