Working to Picture
As Digidesign is a part of Avid Technology, we are experts when it comes to editing audio to picture. Our Pro Tools systems uniquely integrate with Avid’s video editing and storage products, allowing you to work directly with Avid standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) video resolutions.

Pro Tools can open any QuickTime movie and play it back on your desktop or through an Avid® peripheral. You can also sync to external devices using LTC, VITC, SD and HD video reference, Word Clock, and 9-pin.

Video Satellite
Bring high-definition video into your audio production workflow. Video Satellite is a software option that allows Pro Tools|HD® editors to quickly and easily play Avid® HD or SD video sequences from a dedicated Windows-based computer, running Avid Media Composer® software, in sync with their Pro Tools® session.

Video Satellite LE
Get a simple, reliable, and affordable video playback solution that preserves the full power of your Pro Tools|HD® system when editing sound for picture. Video Satellite LE is a software option that allows Pro Tools|HD editors to easily play QuickTime HD/SD video or Avid® SD video from a separate but synced Mbox® 2 Micro system. With Video Satellite LE installed on the Pro Tools LE®-based computer, you control video playback in sync with your session on Pro Tools|HD while preserving your system’s full audio track count and processing power.

Satellite Link
Control multiple Pro Tools|HD® systems from one. Satellite Link is a powerful software option that allows you to synchronize, scrub, loop and control up to five Pro Tools|HD systems as one, with near sample-accurate lock, from a single transport — all without having to purchase additional hardware*. It also allows solo linking capabilities. It’s the perfect solution for post-production mixing with multiple operators and multiple Pro Tools|HD systems.
