Video Satellite LE
Bring high-definition or standard-definition video into your Pro Tools | HD audio workflow
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.
Go high—or standard—DEF
- Video Satellite LE is a cost-effective way of bringing high-definition or standard-definition video into your Pro Tools | HD audio workflow—whether you want to work with QuickTime HD or SD formats, or Avid SD video, Video Satellite LE allows you to keep video playback separate from your audio production, but tightly synced
Superior synchronizaton
- Using a proprietary Ethernet connection protocol that delivers faster lockup time than traditional 9-pin solutions and tighter synchronization than MIDI Time Code, Video Satellite LE keeps your Pro Tools | HD audio and Pro Tools LE video systems in sync
- Control all audio and video transport commands from your Pro Tools rig, including scrubbing, with great ease and responsiveness
Cost-effective flexibility
- Because it works with Avid’s most affordable Pro Tools LE system, Mbox 2 Micro, Video Satellite LE is the perfect cost-effective solution for working on professional video projects without having to sacrifice your Pro Tools | HD system’s host resources for video playback
- For post professionals, Video Satellite LE gives you the ability to create your own video playback system at home so you can work on projects outside of a networked post-production facility
