Default Sync HD won't generate LTC

Hi all,

I tried connecting a Sync HD to our MacPro HDX rig running PT12 and can't get the Sync hd to generate LTC. Session setup in PT sees the Sync HD and I get the control panel, but generate doesn't appear as an option in the Positional reference drop down.

If I uncheck enable sync device in the session setup window, and manually set the Sync HD to generate LTC using the front panel, the generate led goes out when i re-enable the control from session setup.

Could this be a firmware conflict? The Avid site says it should be compatible...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Default Re: Sync HD won't generate LTC

I have so many questions but my main question wound be…

Do you have a video reference signal hooked up to the Sync HD vid ref input?

My second question is about this
“but generate doesn't appear as an option in the Positional reference drop down.”

Drop down? To generate LTC in Pro Tools you have to turn on the Gen LTC button located in the expanded transport window at the top of the session.

Indeed. The LTC button accessible from the Synchronization toolbar in the Pro Tools Edit Window should be lit. See attached where it is not enabled:

Yep it was the secret hidden button in the transport window.

Thanks!
