Southside, you need something like this:

It's a master clock, the converter you'd buy separately. Interestingly, the OCX-V also has a black burst generator, which can be locked to audio clock. Or you'd lock the 2192 to the OCX-V. The OCX-V looks like a great unit for a studio that combines digital audio and video.
I need a very rich relative with a terminal desease is what I really need

Yeah, that Antelope looks to be a very nice unit.
What I haven't yet decided is just how far I want/need to go on the video end of it, at least in the short term; i.e. black burst, while nice, may not be anything close to a necessity to me unless/until I decide to expand the scope of my video work into more commercial freelancing. I'm not sure about that at this time; my main plan on the forseeable video horizon (beyond the smaller consumer/prosumer editing and producing) is an upcoming independant docu-movie that will be something like a 2-year part-time project starting hopefully later this summer. For that project, my current video suite is quite adequate. Beyond that? ???
It's a question of how far ahead I want to plan with my next round of purchases. Always a tough call with this stuff; trying to find the right balance of leading the target when it comes to anticipating needs vs. the rapid rate of technological obscelesnce.
Assuming for the moment I wasn't concerned about the video black issue in my next round (which is how I'm currently leaning 60-40), as far as choice of audio converter, I have been mostly considering the Apogee Rosetta series for my converison, with a curious eye at the UA. Something like the Rosetta 800 is just a couple of hundred more than the UA, but it gives both 8 channels of conversion and clocking in one box. It probably doesn't have that "analog sound" you guys like about the UA, but it's converters are certainly by repuation no slouches either.
However, that UA has been seducing me for a while now, and the way you guys describe it's sound makes it that much more siren-like. But I'd be sacrificing certain cost and capacity to get that sound. Still debating...
