Q: "Can Digidesign's Sync I/O switch between NTSC and PAL? If so, how?"

A: You bet it can! Make sure that SYNC I/O is not in remote mode (the green remote light should be off). To take SYNC I/O out of remote mode, hold down clock reference, positional reference, and frame rate. Hit the Set button on the unit's front panel, then use the up button to toggle through the menu until you see "Video Sy." Hit Set again and use Up or Down to select between NTSC or PAL. Hit Set to exit. This is actually a lot easier to do than it sounds - give it a try and you'll be set!
