Pro Tools 8, Satellite Link and Colin Broad PD-1 and the issues I am having.

[quadraphonics]

We own a CB PD-1, which we use as a Pec/Direct box on our main theater. Previously, the PD-1 was controlled via a JSK 9 pin system, which also was used to drive the four (Three Mix stations and one Stem recorder)Pro Tools systems (running PT v. 7.3.1) via 9-pin and Machine Control software. This worked well, but was a bit clunky.

This past week, we upgraded to ProTools 8 and the Satellite link software, which allows us to control all four systems via Cat 5 cable. We are still using the PD-1 in this setup. However, we have some problems with it.

We have been able to get the PD-1 to trigger the record and input tracks as long as the Stem recorder is Online. Doing this however prevents Satellite Link from working. Taking the stem recorder 'off-line' allows the Satellite Link software to function, but the PD-1 won't trigger the record tracks. (The input still works this way).

What am I missing? Is there a secret to getting this to work with this setup?
