There could be as many as you have T's, BUT the MAX will sync to only one.

Ugh. The MAX will sync to one of the T's...dependent on the clock-source settings. If the other T's are not synchronized with that particular one, or drift with respect to the source - then you will see frame slips on them. The MAX buffering *will* handle very small discrepancy, but I don't recall of the top-o-my-head what it is....
