Hi Walter! Thanks for the advice. Since out of the 5 guys helping me I’m the only once that knows and understands what TC and SMPTE are I’d rather overly complicate things. And as it is, I think I’ll be doing much of the directing. I perform over remixed versions of my studio tracks (with vox, leads, etc dropped out) so songs will always be same length. After long meditation I think I found a semi-workable solution.

PHASE 1: Play whole 5 song set non-stop, all 3 stationary cams (1 HD 24p front and 2 sides) record w/o stopping. Main audio is being fed to HD cam mic direct from board while side cams recording room audio for sync purposes only.
PHASE 2: Play 5 song set again but now cameras are mobile to catch action shots, highlights, & b-roll material.

END RESULT: 1 non-stop 30 minute audio track from first phase and 6 video streams. First 3 video streams already in sync with audio. Second 3 video streams need to be lined up. That should work, at least on paper it does. 🙂 This may not be industry standard but for this project and no TC generators it sounds like it should work. Anbody have any thoughts on why this shouldnt work?
