Pro Tools cannot start playback.
The network clock is not locked for the following satellite systems

Last Updated : December 18, 2013
Products Affected : Pro_Tools_HD

The following error is seen when attempting to reconnect a satellite system after it is re-launched, "Pro Tools cannot start playback. The network clock is not locked for the following systems: xxx and xxx".  
This issue occurs with a mix of Pro Tools 11 and 10.  This does not occur when using Pro Tools 10.3.8 to 10.3.8 Satellite workflows or Pro Tools 11.1 to 11.1 workflows.  

For this reason, Avid recommends all Satellite systems be on the same version for best performance.
