Synch Recomendations

[Billy d]

I want a general solution for synching a 4 channel surround sound mic to camaras.
I have 2 alternatives as near as I can tell:
1) Use something like an Edirol R4 Pro and feed directly in to the 4 mic inputs, and use the SMPTE input on the R4 to link to the camera SMPTE output.
2) Use the 4 mic inputs on a Traveller connected to a laptop PC and (as near as I can tell) use one of the 4 line input jacks on the Traveler to link to the camera SMPTE output.

Then with either of the above options I should be able to transfer the files to my main pc and edit everything in Vegas.

Do I have the Traveller solution right and/or is there another solution?
TIA
