To authorize the DigiTranslator 2.0 option with
iLok:
1
Insert the iLok into an available USB port on
your computer.
2
Launch Pro Tools. You will be prompted to au-
thorize any installed unauthorized software op-
tions or plug-ins.
3
Follow the onscreen instructions until you are
prompted to insert the License Card into the
iLok.
4
Separate the GSM cutout from the larger pro-
tective card by pulling it up and out with your
thumb. Do not force the cutout down with your
finger.
5
Insert the GSM cutout into the iLok. Visually
verify that the metal portion of the cutout
makes contact with the iLok’s metal card reader.
6
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete
the authorization process for the DigiTranslator
2.0 option.
7
After the authorization has completed, re-
move the GSM cutout from the iLok. (If you
have to remove the iLok from the computer to
remove the cutout, be sure to re-insert the iLok
in any available USB port on your computer
when you are finished.)
Updating Firmware on
Application Launch
On launch, Pro Tools checks that appropriate
version of the firmware is installed on the AVop-
tion|V10 breakout box. If the correct version of
the firmware is not installed, Pro Tools automat-
ically installs the correct version of the firm-
ware. Once the update is complete, you will be
prompted to quit Pro Tools and power-cycle the
AVoption|V10 breakout box before the upgrade
will take effect.
Media Station|V10 software also makes any nec-
essary firmware updates to the AVoption|V10
breakout box on launch. If this occurs, you must
quit Media Station|V10 and power-cycle the
AVoption|V10 breakout box for any firmware
updates to take effect.
Using NTSC and PAL
When switching between NTSC and PAL for-
mats, settings must be changed in the Pro Tools
Session Setup window:
• Select the correct frame rate from the Frame
Rate pop-up menu (for example 25 fps or
29.97 fps).
• Set the SYNC I/O to the correct format (PAL or
NTSC).
If you are already using a demo version of
the software option or plug-in, launch
Pro Tools before you insert the iLok, then
insert the iLok into any available USB port
when prompted by Pro Tools.
iLok with License Card
When a video clip is imported to the Movie
track, Pro Tools sets the correct format (PAL
or NTSC) on the SYNC I/O automatically.
