NO!

Loop sync delivers the regular 1x clock that is needed for the current HD hardware. Whenever you set up a legacy device, the WC output changes to TDIF mode (256x sync) which is what the legacy interfaces require. So be sure to use the WC output to 888|24 input, AND be sure that you DO NOT loop it back to 192 WC input. This clock must not be looped back.

There's also something strange in the powering up order. If you power up HD interface first and legacy interface last, it will not work. But if you power up the legacy interface first and wait until it's fully booted, and only then power up the new stuff, then it will magically start working.
