do you want to control a deck (video or open reel tape) or do you want to use an external controller?

I just noticed I didnt really answer your question properly :)
I want to control the deck from Pro Tools primarily. I may want to slave tools as well at some point.

as I remember (but I could be backwards) the 9 pin port on the Sync will control a deck but you need the Keyspan to control Pro Tools from another device (we did with a System 5 before Avid bought Euphonix)

I believe it appears as a selectable port, but I have not tried it.

If you want to control a deck, no. If you want to control Pro Tools from some other device, yes.
