Default What's the deal with the Avid Machine Control?

The Machine Control...

If I connect my HD Native box to a JoeCo recorder via a round 9-pin cable to 9-pin D-sub cable, will I be able to program the JoeCo recorder to mirror the Protools system for track arming and record and stop control, etc..? So I won't have to repeat that operation on the JoeCo recorder that I've already done on my Protools system?

And it's a $750 license that I have to buy separately, but it also gets renewed by the $400 annual upgrade and support renewal every year?

Do I have that mostly right, am I missing anything?

AFAIK, you need to have USB to 9pin serial converter and then normal 9pin to 9pin serial cable. The round connector on cards is used to connect with Sync hardware.

Ugg...I guess it doesn't do what I want it to then.

You just need to think the connection from your device back to PT.. it has 9pin connector so you need 9pin to 9pin cable, then if your computer does not have 9pin serial connector you need 9pin to USB adapter.

So the Machine Control from Protools would come from the computer, via a USB cable, and not from the serial port on the HD Native box? So I wouldn't need a Sync HD?

That doesn't sound too bad...
