Guess what? A few years ago I typed out the whole MIDI procedure of BRC to Pro Tools (long boring story). It was for PT V.6.4 and an Alesis HD24 with BRC but it's probably still the same.
Presented here for your pleasure!
Transferring to Pro Tools
Alesis BRC:
Press EDIT and toggle GEN SYNC so that ?MIDI: MTC? shows in the display. Disengage EDIT and make sure that the GEN SYNC switch is lit. The BRC is now generating MIDI Time Code.
Pro Tools:
Put Pro Tools online by either pressing APPLE J or clicking on the furthest left button on the transport (the clock face).
By pressing APPLE 2 on the numeric keypad or by selecting Show Session Setup found in the Windows window at the top of the screen the Session setup window can be shown. This window gives an overview of the session such as: sample rate, bit depth, and file type. As well, in the top right corner shows 2 counters. The top one shows the Session Start which allows the user to define when the session start relative in this case to MIDI Time Code. So, if the MIDI source's Time is 00, then this window should be set to 00 as well. The second is the only true display of incoming time code. In this situation, it's showing MIDI Time Code coming from the BRC, not Pro Tools. If this counter doesn't move when PLAY is pressed on the BRC then there is a problem with the MIDI Time Code signal.
Digital Transfers
When transferring into Pro Tools digitally, Pro Tools derives its word clock from the source of the recording (ADAT, HD24) so it is important to set Pro Tools clock on ADAT so that Pro Tools receives external clock. Choosing Clock Source in Hardware in the Setups window, or changing Clock Source on the Session Setup window can do this. It?s a good idea to leave the session setup window open while transferring because the it shows the incoming time code as mention earlier, and it shows the status of the clock source. This is important because any time the Optical cable is removed (for example: to change from tracks 1-8 to 9-16) Pro Tools reverts to internal clock.
