    If you’re talking timecode, you can do do it by using the remote control and having the DVXs side-by-side.

    Be sure the timecode generator is set to “free” on both DVX’s and that they are BOTH set to either Drop Frame or Non-Drop Frame.

    Using the Remote Control, set your desired timecode.

    All should be well, though I would check from time to time to insure they are still in “sync”.

    We use a regular flash camera.
    Rewind the tape in both cameras even if it’s new.
    Set the TC to Record Run.
    Start both cameras with a remote.
    Let them run for 20 seconds.
    Snap a flash on something that both cameras can see.
    In post, line up the flash.
    Your TC should be pretty close
