Object Control Mode
The Object Control Mode button lets you cycle between the three different Master Object Control modes: Mas-
ter, Record, and Off/Bypass. Click the Object Control Mode button to cycle through and select the Object Con-
trol mode.
Renderer Connection Status Indicator
The Renderer Connection Status indicator appears in the title bar of the Object view to the right of the title in
the Edit and window if Atmos is enabled in the Peripherals dialog, but not if Atmos is disabled. It is green if
Pro Tools is successfully connected and communicating with the Renderer on the network. It is pale yellow if
it is not connected or the network connection has failed.
Mode Description Purpose
Master Object assigned,
sending metadata
Set by default if no other tracks are already assigned to this
object, use this mode to control an object on the renderer.
Record Object assigned,
record mode
Use this mode in a re-recording workflow to record pan
automation sent from a Master panner on the network.
Off/bypass Object assigned, no
metadata being sent
Use this mode to mix multiple tracks of audio to the same
object output path. In this workflow, one track set as Master
controls the panning, while one or more other tracks with
the same object output path assignment but set to
Off/bypass feed audio to the object output path but without
sending pan metadata.
