Chapter 3: Using Your System 39
In Pro Tools:
6 In Pro Tools, choose Setups > Peripherals
and display the Synchronization window.
From the Device pop-up, choose Generic
MTC Reader. From the Port pop-up, choose
BRC (on the Macintosh) or the appropriate
port of your MIDI interface (in Windows).
Alternatively, if the name of the (BRC)
OMS device does not appear here, choose
the serial port to which your MIDI interface
is connected.
7 In the Pro Tools Session Setup window,
• Set Channel 1-2 input to ADAT if the
ADAT Bridge is your primary interface, or
Analog if it is not your primary audio in-
terface.
• Set Pro Tools Sync Mode to ADAT Optical
(if the ADAT Bridge is not your primary
audio interface, this choice will be sim-
ply “Optical.”)
• Choose the sample rate and frame rate
that matches the material on the
ADAT(s).
8 Create destination audio tracks for the
the ADAT track(s) to be transferred. Make
sure the destination tracks each have a dif-
ferent Pro Tools voice assignment.
9 Use the Input Selector of each destina-
tion track to assign its input.When the
ADAT Bridge is your primary interface, In-
puts 1-8 correspond to the ADAT Bridge
I/O’s Group A inputs. Inputs 9-16 corre-
spond to ADAT Bridge I/O’s Group B in-
puts. If you have additional ADAT
Bridges/ADATs, assign their inputs as well.
10 Select a Pro Tools monitoring mode
(Auto Input Monitor or Input Only Moni-
tor).
11 Configure Pro Tools to display Time
Code.
12 Choose Setups > Preferences, then click
the Operations button to display the Oper-
ations Preferences dialog. Choose the de-
sired Pro Tools online recording mode:
Record Online at Time Code (or ADAT)
Lock, or Record Online at Insertion/Selec-
tion. If you are not familiar with these
modes, refer to the Pro Tools Reference
Guide.
13 Record-enable your Pro Tools destina-
tion tracks.
14 At this point, you may wish to confirm
that time code is being received by
Pro Tools. Do this by pressing Play on the
BRC. The counter in the Pro Tools Session
Setup window should begin running. Make
a note of the SMPTE frame number where
the time starts. If there appears to be an off-
set, you’ll need to enter the offset number
as the Pro Tools session start time in the
Session Setup window. Rewind the
BRC/ADAT to a location at least 10 seconds
before the time code address at which you
want to start Pro Tools recording. This is
necessary to provide Pro Tools with
enough time to lock to the time code that it
receives.
15 Put Pro Tools online.
16 Click Pro Tools Record button.
17 Press Play on the BRC. When sync is es-
tablished, Pro Tools begins online record-
ing.
18 When you have finished recording,
press the BRC’s Stop button. Pro Tools will
stop recording.
