Digidesign SYNC I/O is a multipurpose synchronization peripheral for
Pro Tools|HD™ systems. The SYNC I/O supports all Pro Tools|HD sample rates, and synchronizes to all major time code and clock reference standards used in audio, video, film, and multimedia production.
SYNC I/O is designed especially for Pro Tools|HD systems, but it can also be utilized as a stand-alone synchronization device. When
used with Pro Tools, most SYNC I/O features can be controlled from within the Pro Tools application. In addition, a utility application
(SYNC I/O Setup™) is provided which gives software access to all SYNC I/O parameters remotely, with or without Pro Tools. Even without a computer, SYNC I/O can be configured manually using its front panel switches and displays.
