The 9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation) settings let you configure Pro Tools for 9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation) mode. This mode makes Pro Tools operate as a virtual tape deck, supporting most standard Sony P2 9-pin commands. By default, Pro Tools emulates a Sony BVW-75 model video deck. You can also configure Pro Tools to emulate other machines.
When the Enable option is selected, Pro Tools is in 9-Pin Remote (Deck Emulation) mode.
The Port setting lets you select the 9-pin MachineControl port. The available choices depend on your platform and configuration
The Machine Type setting lets you select the machine description for specific machine controllers (such as the Soundmaster ATOM). By default, Pro Tools emulates a Sony BVW-75.
When Chase LTC is enabled, Pro Tools still responds to track arming and record commands. However, Pro Tools will chase incoming LTC instead of behaving as a master or slave device with the machine controller. By slaving Pro Tools to the LTC source instead of slaving the machine to Pro Tools timecode, you can avoid the waiting (and tape wear) that occurs while a machine transport locates and bumps tape to the cue point.
