Rashed,
I’m not sure if the Io can do an edit to tape, but if it can, that’s what you should try. I do this all the time and it only took me a day or so to get it all sorted out. You have to black your tapes with timecode first, say starting at 00:58:20:00. This striping will work well for a timeline starting at 00:58:30:00.
This is the starting timecode you would type into the edit to tape window. Then you would drag your sequence into the edit to tape window with your deck set on remote and if the Io can do it, you’d get a prompt to let it rip.
BTW, I believe the sync problem you’re seeing is a normal thing with an Io, I don’t think your tape would be out of sync.
Have a wonderful day.
