How many ticks are in a quarter note?

How many ticks are in a bar Pro Tools?
ProTools provides 960 ticks per quarter note. how many ticks does it provide per half note?
Which timescales are tick based?
Tick based tracks conform to the session tempo, with content on those tracks maintaining a fixed bar and beat position, taking session tempo changes into account. Sample based content maintains a fixed sample position in relation to the session start.
What is tick based Pro Tools?
In tick-based mode, when you position a region on the timeline you are positioning it at a specific 'tick' point — say one bar and three beats. Now, when you change the tempo, Pro Tools 'moves' the region start point in time so it still starts at one bar and three beats in the new tempo.
