When you install Pro Tools after installing Me-
dia Station|PT on the same computer, EQ II and
Dynamics II plug-ins are automatically moved
to the Unused Plug-Ins folder. If you want to
continue using either of these plug-ins with Pro
Tools or Media Station|PT, you must manually
move them back to the Plug-Ins folder

Installing Hardware
This section describes installation procedures

Installing an Avid Video Peripheral
To output high-quality video from
Media Station|PT, an Avid video peripheral is re-
quired.

To connect Avid video peripheral hardware:
1
Ensure that the Avid video peripheral is
turned off.
2
Connect the power cable for the Avid video
peripheral.
3
Connect one end of the FireWire cable to the
Host port on the Avid video peripheral, and con-
nect the other end to any internal FireWire port
on the computer.

Standalone mode
Use the audio I/O of your Avid
video peripheral. If no video peripheral is
present, use the I/O of your computer. Capture
and layback of DV-stream format audio and
video can be performed via the FireWire port.

video can be performed via the FireWire port.
Video satellite mode
The timing of the audio
output of Media Station|PT is plus or minus ap-
proximately 1/2 frame. While this is not as pre-
cise as the audio output of Pro Tools, it may still
be useful to listen to the audio output from
Media Station|PT in your Pro Tools session. If
desired, route the audio outputs from the video
peripheral into the analog or digital inputs of
proximately 1/2 frame. While this is not as pre-
cise as the audio output of Pro Tools, it may still

All FireWire ports on Digidesign-qualified
computers are connected to the same bus,
and the Avid video peripheral must be the
only device attached to this bus. If it is not
the only device attached to this bus, the
Avid video peripheral will not be recog-
nized. Therefore, you must install a PCI or
PCIe FireWire card if you need to connect
other FireWire devices. For more informa-
tion on where to connect a PCI or PCIe
FireWire card, follow the guidelines de-
scribed for Pro Tools in the Avid Video Pe-
ripherals Guide (located on your Pro Tools
installer disc) or on the Digidesign website
(www.digidesign.com).
