Default Re: 002 slave to SMPTE from Analog Tape

hi cananball, i know very little about sync and time codes, and i'm trying to do the same thing that the original post refers to. i'm using a jlcooper pps-2 synchronizer and a tascam tsr-8 going into pro tools standard os9.0.6 with mbox pro. i stripe the tape with smpte, it goes into the pps-2 which converts smpte to mtc and then sends it to mbox pro and pro tools. the tape machine triggers pt to start and stop but they drift apart. they are not locking together. is this because pro tools needs mtc AND s/pdif word clock, like you said digital time piece can generate? thanks
