Syncing 2 Pro Tools Systems via Network

We need a couple programs to get full control of a Mac and a PC onto a single system. I use the the screen sharing program from splashtop. Use "Personal" on the master system and "Streamer" on the slave. On the PC, we use rtpMidi for MTC over network. This is built in on Mac through the Audio Midi panel. 

You will also need to have the audio connections between the system setup correctly. From there, enabling MTC (Midi Time Code) setup correctly within Pro Tools. The master system will generate MTC and the slave will read MTC. Then we will need to turn MTC on within the transport in Pro Tools and tell the master to Generate MTC and the slave to "Wait for Sync." This is covered within the video. If you are familiar with the previous video on this sync topic, it is an almost identical setup. The difference is that you would select the  Bounjour name you created in the rtpMidi/Network setup steps.

I hope these videos were helpful and give you some ideas. It is a great use if you have any older Pro Tools systems around. Even Pro Tools 6-7-8 systems you might still have around have the identical setup and completely usable.
