question about sync plate

[bosone]

i'm thinking about buying a sync plate for my system.

i have:
1) fostex vc8 ADDA
2) behringer vamp pro
3) pod pro



1) is connected with optical adat both in and out and can be either master or slave. i normally use it as slave with scope as master so i have no problem

2) and 3) have only spdif out and i can connect it digitally (spdif) only if i set them as master in the SFP control panel. that's rather annoying!

what if connect 2) and 3) to the sync plate via the wordclock? will they operate as slaves and will i get both the spdif outs for vamp and pro simultaneously in scope with no problems?

thanks!

yep, that's how it should work, if all of them have a bnc wordclock in, and you also purchase a masterclock/distributor. the cheapest masterclock is made by ART, i believe.

wtf! i did not know about the masterclock distributor!!!
i thought to connect my 3 devices in series with a cable and the T connectors...
thanks for pointing out this, i will investigate!

t-connectors would work, but they would also be unreliable.
