I used to synch roll 6 cams of ISO records on cmx340-x but I thing the bigger point here is how rare it is to see a truck with more than 2 hdcam-srs these days. Certainly not two assigned to digitizing.
File based material with >rgb is the future and I'm stunned how much tape deliverables are still requested in long form as a mostly commercials guy I haven't used a tape in 5 years or more.

This cues both decks and locks them together in time code. From there I just fed timecode and all eight audio channels into the workstation and I was done in half the time.Hit "PREVIEW" on masterArm "CUE" track on masterSet in points on both machinesCue both tapes to start pointLoad master tape in with no rec-inhibit, load slave tape in rec-inhibitPut one deck as master (put one deck in remote 9P)FYI - synchronizing two decks (Sony/Panasonic) is as easy as one RS-422 cable patched between them. Back in the day, I needed to load split tracks for many episodes of an HBO show in order to prep for profanity editing for syndication. These were sent to me on DigiBeta in sets of two (2 tapes per episode x 4 tracks = 8 audio tracks for standard splits). To save time loading into workstation, here's a trick I figured out:Connect the two decks via RS-422 to their controller/slave input

Could it be that it is faster or more bullet proof to do the simul roll on ingest?In most trucks I've worked in, it would take a lot of effort to sync two VTRs for locked simultaneous playbackI would assume, but will ask here, when the EVS ingests a tape does it capture the time code on the tape with the file so all my graphics built on even NonDrop minutes and 20 second intervals could be assessed and utilized with the ingested file?Any external time code can be fed into the EVS, so I imagine a tape deck's TC would work just as well.I guess a good reason to sync-roll two decks for ingest is if there's quite a bit of material to capture - if everything has a matte and fill, then not sync-rolling would take twice as long to capture. If there's a quick turnaround from the moment the tape arrives at the truck to the moment it's needed for the show, then our director may have a point. After all, they're not all idiots - only some of them. ;-)
