Network Connections
The Video Satellite LE system and the Pro Tools
HD system it works with must be connected to
an Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network). It is rec-
ommended that the systems be on the same
Ethernet switch, in order to minimize response
time over the network.
In order for audio and video playback to be
frame edge aligned, it is recommended that a
Digidesign SYNC peripheral be connected to the
Pro Tools|HD system, and that the SYNC be
locked to black burst or tri-level sync.
If using a qualified PCIe video card or Avid video
peripheral on the Video Satellite LE system, the
video hardware should also be locked to the
same video reference signal which the SYNC is
referencing.

licenses, see the iLok Usage Guide.
