Video File Formats

ADR Master supports a thoroughly comprehensive range of video containers, codecs, frame rates & resolutions.

Video playback performance can be compromised with heavily compressed video formats.

DAW MIDI Sync

ADR Master can play back videos in sync with most DAWs (or other devices) that support MTC & MMC, including:

Avid® Pro Tools & Avid® Pro Tools | Ultimate™
Steinberg Nuendo
Steinberg Cubase
Apple Logic Pro X
Presonus Studio One
Ableton Live!
Bitwig Studio
MOTU Digital Performer
Cockos Reaper

Pro Tools® & Satellite Link

ADR Master integrates seamlessly with Pro Tools® through Avid's Satellite Link protocol.
Two configurations are supported: ADR Master on the same computer also running Pro Tools; and ADR Master & Pro Tools running on separate computer(s) on the same network.

Satellite Link on the same computer: Pro Tools | Ultimate® 2021.3 or later

Pro Tools Artist & Studio cannot run in Satellite Admin mode, & therefore are not supported in any Satellite Link configuration with ADR Master.

Satellite Link across two computers: Pro Tools | HD 11® or higher; Pro Tools | Ultimate® (any version).

HDX or HD Native hardware are not strictly required when using only one Pro Tools system with ADR Master. This requires at least Pro Tools 2020.12 Ultimate. An Ethernet network connection is stipulated by Avid when connecting more than one computer over a Satellite Link network.

Larger Satellite Link network with up to 12 participants: At least one Pro Tools | Ultimate™ system with SYNC HD™ or Pro Tools | Sync X

It is currently not possible to connect to Pro Tools on the same computer & to other ADR Master Satellites at the same time.
