Default Sync HD, Loop Sync, Max BNC Length?

Hey There,

I'm plotting out a wacky HD configuration that is going to have my Synch HD and 192s set up far away from each other. I think I have it figured out, but there is one question that I couldn't find an answer to. My question is regarding the BNC cables used for loop sync between interfaces. Is there a maximum cable length? If I'm using 75' (23 meters) of cable to loop synch my interfaces am I asking for trouble?


Best,
Matt

Hi,

Would have to be good quality cable for that length! but should work ok.
