Scarlet-W 2 frames out on TC synced audio

[Simon Beer]

I've been running some tests with my Scarlet-W before I use it in anger.

I've been using a Zoom F8 and have tried both my timecode buddy and tentacle sync kits.

When shooting 5K audio is TC synced and works perfectly.

When shooting ProRes and audio is TC synced I find i'm 2 frames out.

In FCPX I open the synced clip and nudge the audio 2 frames right and all is well.

However, this is a pain in the @rse. Anyone suggest a solution at all?

Thanks, Simon.

This is a total hack, but what about setting the audio output delay on the F8 to 2 frames?
