Andy,
Thanks for your kind response. I should have made it clear in my original post that we intend to have a central VTR room that feeds both of the edit suites. We are considering going with a patch bay for audio/video and device control because we are only planning to have 3 machines and 2 suites initially. We may have a need to rent a DVCPRO-HD deck from time to time and plan on having an open space in our rack with all of the cables right there and ready to go. I understand that we will need a sync generator, racks, monitors, cables ,etc
