Description

CB Electronics have for a number of years used USB-RS232 interfaces both with and without RS232-RS422 converters. In designing the USB422 we used the experience with many different manufactures to choose the best combination of hardware and drivers.

A test programme that provides both machine control and a virtual machine is available from our web site. The program locks both the virtual machine (Port-A) and machine control (Port-B) to video syncs.

Protools 2018.8 Long Lock Time
Protools 2018.8 Long Lock Time

I received the following from a USB-422 user - Peter Persaud at Foley One, Toronto, Canada

Pro Tools sees our Soundmaster but the lock time is super long now. Almost 3-4 seconds. I can get it to work locally from Soundmaster instantaneously if I put the ‘Allow 9-pin Transport Commands in Local Mode’ but I can’t get it to chase to the Master video player. If I take it off and just run the Remote function the system locks but again the super long 3-4 second problem. It seems as if the Pro Tools is ‘slewing’ and trying to catch up to speed or something. The Soundmaster says it’s locked, the Pro Tools play bar is rolling but no sound and the Stop tally is solid in Pro Tools and the Play tally is blinking for the 3 - 4 seconds like I described Any thoughts on how I can tighten up the lock time?
