Aside of searching this group and checking Wolf's book,
the basic procedure is to use a synch box on each camera and use the
recorder as a master
OR another box on the recorder and use an external master clock to
feed all boxes.

You work in free-run mode (or time-of-day free-run if you like) and
jam synch the boxes from the master clock, it being the recorder or an
external master clock.

Denecke and Ambient have the synch boxes and the master clock (if
needed)
