1) Can the input device be changed in a PTHD session without having to restart PT?

No, Pro Tools will force you to restart, after you change the Playback engine.

You can clock slave any unit with a word clock/ADAT/SPDIF/Loop sync input to the Omni.

You can, and if you painted a naked lady on the other side, you might even sell one or two of those systems.

Don't forget my 20% cut, though.

Of course. We're partners in this big deal.

Need to figure out a way to sell the Omni Pro 40 System in "original packaging." That's important to people for some reason. May have to cut out the bottom of the Omni box and the top of the Pro 40 box.

I don't want our customers to have to tie the units together with venetian blind cords. That would just be so "un-pro." And let's have the clocking cables routed and secured. "Ready-to-roll" as they say in the pre-owned car bidness.
