Precision Master Clock and Synchronizer for Pro Tools

Complex digital recording systems require ultra-precise clocking. Tailor-made for Pro Tools systems, the Avid Pro Tools | Sync X is a rock-solid way to keep all your devices synchronized and running efficiently. Sync X boasts remarkably low-jitter JetPLL clocking, enabling it to lock onto external sources with lightning-quick speed; plus, its temperature-compensated oscillator runs at a blazing 100MHz — roughly twice as fast as a typical JetPLL-based clock. An onboard video reference generator eliminates the need for expensive external devices. Sync X can receive video reference as well, with automatic format detection for maximum efficiency. You also get a 10MHz input for connecting to high-end atomic master clocks, streamlined multi-operator workflows, a high-resolution front-panel OLED screen, and easy configuration directly from within Pro Tools. The Avid Sync X is a critical part of any large-scale audio or post-production system.

Delivers double-resolution performance

For ultra-stable clocking, look no further than Pro Tools | Sync X. Its exceptionally low-jitter JetPLL clocking technology locks onto external sources with lightning-fast speed and razor-sharp precision. Its master oscillator runs at 100MHz — a double-resolution implementation that's really impressed us here at Sweetwater. It locks on at twice the speed of a standard JetPLL-based clock, and it's twice as accurate!

Keeps your entire system in sync

Avid Pro Tools | Sync X makes synchronizing all your digital devices effortless. It's compatible with all industry-standard clock sources, including word clock, loop sync, and AES3, along with positional reference formats, such as LTC, serial timecode, and bi-phase/tach. It also supports SD and HD reference formats and video pull-up/pull-down rates. What's more, six word clock outputs make synchronizing Sync X to Pro Tools interfaces and devices a piece of cake. Sync X can also lock onto a high-end atomic master clock via a 10MHz input, and it can send and receive AES3 or AES3id signals to and from supported devices.

Enables you to ditch external video reference generators

With Pro Tools | Sync X at the heart of your system, you'll no longer have to rely on external video reference. Its built-in video reference generator includes four outputs for distributing signals to your peripherals. Beyond that, Sync X can receive video reference from external video reference generators as well — complete with automatic format detection.
