Dual sync cord connectors on Sea & Sea

My new Sea & Sea housing has two Nikonos-type connectors. Assuming both are TTL-type connectors, which is what I ordered, is there any difference between them? Is one primary and one secondary? Can I hook up a dual sync cord to either one? If I only use one strobe, does it matter which it is connected to? Can I connect two strobes with either a dual cord or two single cords?

If both are identical, and neither is primary/secondary, and I want to use two strobes, one in TTL and one in manual, how does that work? (With one or two sync cords?)

Confusing, I know, but I can't find any literature that explains the usage or restrictions.

Thanks, Linda I.

Both ports are indentical. A dual cord will work on either one. It doesn't matter which one you attach a single strobe to.

TTL/manual setting is on the strobe itself. To run one in ttl and one manual, set the strobes appropriately.

Linda also asked whether she can connect two strobes with either a dual OR two single cords.

For some camera and strobe combinations, connecting two strobes with single cords may cause problems because both strobes will be sending a READY signal back to the camera on the same line. A work-around is to disable the READY signal on one sync cord.

As far as I know, this is the only time there is a meaningful distinction between PRIMARY and SECONDARY strobes - the primary strobe is the strobe with the live READY signal connection to the camera. On Ikelite double cords, the SECONDARY connector is disabled and marked with a red collar - I don't know about Sea & Sea double cords.

Thanks very much for the responses. It sounds like to be safe when using two strobes I should use a dual sync cord. One reason I asked about the primary and secondary was the Ikelite cords (which I have been using in the past) which as Roger mentioned designate a primary and seconday strobe. I will have to see when I get my Sea & Sea dual sync cord if it also designates a primary and secondary......

And to reiterate, when using one strobe it doesn't matter which port it is connected to.

Thanks, Linda
