Playback and Recording : Record Setup : Selecting a Record Input Monitoring Mode : Input Only Monitoring

Input Only Monitoring
In Input Only mode, when a track is record-enabled, Pro Tools monitors audio input only, regardless of any punch-in/out selection or state.
For Pro Tools, the Input Monitor Enabled Status indicator (in the Transport window) lights green when Input Only mode is enabled.
 
For Pro Tools HD, the indicator lights green when one or more tracks have TrackInput enabled (see Selecting Record Monitor Modes with TrackInput Monitoring).
