Description
Digidesign’s Video Satellite LE is an affordable solution for any Pro Tools|HD studio working with video projects. With Video Satellite LE, you can easily offload CPU-intensive video playback functions onto a second computer running Pro Tools LE with an MBox 2 Micro, reclaiming that processing power to run essential plug-ins and virtual instruments. The two systems connect via Digidesign’s proprietary Ethernet protocol, allowing for faster lockup time than 9-pin and tighter synchronization than MIDI Time Code. You’ll also get loop playback – a huge feature at this affordable price point – with Digidesign Video Satellite LE.
