Connecting a SYNC I/O
The SYNC I/O is required for Pro Tools with
AVoption|V10. Connect the house video refer-
ence to the Video Ref In port on the SYNC I/O,
and connect the Loop Sync on the SYNC I/O to
the corresponding Loop Sync on the primary
Pro Tools|HD audio interface. For more infor-
mation on configuring and using the SYNC I/O,
see the
SYNC I/O Guide
.
Video Reference In
Connect a BNC cable to the Video Ref In port on
the SYNC I/O and to a black burst (house video
reference) generator or a standard video signal,
for clock reference and window burn purposes.
The Video Ref Out port must be terminated (us-
ing the 75-ohm terminator included with the
SYNC I/O) or connected to another terminated
video device (such as the AVoption|V10).
Loop Sync In/Out
Loop Sync is the clock signal used to synchro-
nize Pro Tools|HD-series audio interfaces. Con-
nect Loop Sync In on the SYNC I/O to Loop
Sync Out on the primary Pro Tools|HD audio in-
terface. Connect Loop Sync Out on the SYNC
I/O to Loop Sync In on the primary
Pro Tools|HD audio interface. If you have multi-
ple Pro Tools audio interfaces, connect Loop In
on the SYNC I/O to Loop Out on the last
Pro Tools interface.
Connecting House Video
Reference or Black Burst
In most AVoption|V10 setups, three black burst
or house video reference (house sync) connec-
tions are required:
• To VIDEO REF IN on the SYNC I/O
• To a video input on your VTR (a video refer-
ence input if available)
• To the VIDEO REF connector on the AVop-
tion|V10 (this connection can come from the
Video Ref Out on the SYNC I/O)
Be sure to read the documentation for your
black burst generator for more information.
Be sure to use the ports marked “Optical”
on your Pro Tools|HD audio interface. Do
not connect to the ADAT In and Out on the
audio interface.
