sync to blackburst vs sync to word clock

If there's no tc on the 2", yes and use the method we described regarding resolving your Syncroniser and your system.

And make sure you're "off line" from the zeta when you stripe.

thanks, you guys really set me straight... It looks like i'll be tracking down a nanosync so I can get the blackburst sync to my converters.

SO it seems it should be like this:

Nanosync generates black---Sends to apogees and syncs
------------------------------------Sends black to adams smith zeta
------------------------------------Zeta then controls JH24 speed via black

So at this point everything is speed synced

Then SMPTE out of Nuendo into Zeta...SMPTE out of JH24 into Zeta...Then the Zeta allows the smpte from nuendo and smpte from jh24 to communicate position...

Makes sense to me as far as connections go.

I dont think the nanosync generates black burst. What you can do with a nanosync or the aardvark Time Sync II is use your 2" as the master without a syncroniser, the nanosync takes your incoming tc and converts it to wc for the daw. Why this is OK is because the clock in the nanosync is a killer. You could use it as the wordclock box for your daw with using the black and machine syncroniser bit, the clock is way better than your daw's clock. But the nanosync isnt neccesary with a resolved system, but is if you have an unresolved project, like someone sends you a 2" with tc already striped that a sequencer is slaved to if you want the 2" to be the master.

I thought i remember reading that it has a video syn generator...I could be wrong though..

If it doesn't how else could i turn the video black into a wordclock signal for the apogees?
