Troubleshooting
This section describes common synchroni-
zation problems and some possible solu-
tions.
Status LEDs
The status LEDs (LOCKED and SPEED CAL)
on the USD Front Panel may help you iso-
late potential problems. See “11. Status
LEDs” on page 19 for details about these in-
dicators and their meaning.
Use the Current TC field in Pro Tools Session
Setup Window as a Reference
The Current TC field in the Session Setup
Window indicates whether or not USD is
receiving positional reference. If this field
appears to be inactive when inputting time
code to the USD, check your hardware de-
vice settings, serial connection to your
computer, and your software settings.
