Topic: HD-P2 and UA5 Time code sync up?

Most V3s have a WC out on them (unless they are opti-moded).

So technically you can do 6ch with the V3 as your master. (AES>coax cable, coax out, and V3 WC out)

If the P2 has bit-clock perfect coax-out, then you might be able to milk another 2 channels and diasy-chain another recorder off of it (or split the signal at the V3 off of the AES out).

Would you use a BNC cable for that?

Yes you can daisy chain P2's.

Should be able to use a standard SPDIF coax cable with RCA tips and have a set of RCA>BNC adaptors (like $2 each from B&H). Otherwise yes, you'll need a proper digi-cable with the appropriate ends for whatever your doing.

Thanks guys!  Gonna grab some new cables and another bit bucket and give this a try.

yes, absolutely you can use the word clock out from the V3 (assuming it's not an opti-mod V3).  I never di that, because I never bothered to get BNC > RCA adapters or a BNC to BNC digital cable.  but I already had an AES > coax adapter, so that's what I used to do.

of course, if you go word clock out of the V3 to word clock in on the HD-P2, you would choose "word clock" for the HD-P2 settings, and not the S/PDIF.

yes, both the S/PDIF input and the S/PDIF output on the HD-P2 are bit-perfect.  So you could use the S/PDIF out from one HD-P2 and send it to another to use as the clock source for the 2nd HD-P2.  I've done this in the past as well.

all this HD-P2 sync'ing talk has really reminded me what a great deck the HD-P2 is.  It really gives you a lot of options to work with, more than most decks in this price range do.
