for using Pro Tools with Media Station|PT con-
figured as a video satellite:

1  

Cross-mounting media storage on remote sys-

tems

2  

Opening Avid sequences that have been deliv-

ered to you in an Avid bin

3  

Opening AAF sequences that have been ex-

ported from another Avid application or 
Pro Tools

4  

Connecting Pro Tools to a satellite

5  

Linking Pro Tools to a satellite

6  

Capturing audio and video

7  

Batch capturing audio and video

Cross-Mounting Media 
Storage on Remote Systems

To simplify the transfer of sequence and media 
files between the Pro Tools and satellite systems, 
it is helpful to mount the media storage of one 
system on the desktop of the other system. This 
practice is known as cross-mounting, and the 
computer on which you are mounting that stor-
age is known as the remote system.

For example, you most likely want the video 
storage—which is physically connected to the 
satellite system—to appear on the desktop of 
both the satellite and Pro Tools systems. How-
ever, some workflows are simpler if the audio 
storage—which is physically connected to the 
Pro Tools system—also appears on the desktop 
of the satellite system.

Cross-mounting audio or video storage on a re-
mote system involves the following steps:

1  

Choosing a storage configuration

2  

Sharing the desired volume so that it can be 

mounted on the remote system

3  

Mounting the shared volume on the remote 

system
