If I was running my clock in a rig say 300 feet away with the pres and ad's and ran a fiber to the madi fix card can I clock the card from the fiber input and use the word clock out to a da ?
Will the madi line carry clock over that distance?
also will it carry the 10m clock from antelope?
MADI doesn't need additional word. It would defeat its main purpose.
I always understood that madi clock is more jitter prone than wordclock? that's what SSL is saying too for their alphalinks?
Download one of our MADI manuals and read the chapter about SteadyClock, or here:

A long word clock cable will cause more jitter (that needs to be processed/reduced) as well.
so using my HDSPe madiFX as master over madi, is a tighter solution then using my alphalink or Madison as master via WC?
As long as you don't tell us exactly how your setup looks no one can answer that.
Ok, so below is what I'm using
MadiFX
SPL madison via fiber to MadiFX
SSL Alphalink via fiber to MadiFX
RME ADI 8 DS MK3 via spdif optical to SSL Alphalink
TASCAM DA-3000 with AES to MadiFX
The Tascam is my MIXBUS ADC and monitoring DAC
The other interfaced process synth sources
I'm now experimenting the the new TASCAM 1000 clock generator, which works quite well
But if I can get even better performance from making the madifx master then that saves a clocking unit. I'm fully aware on most peoples pov on dedicated clocking and that according to some old S.O.S articles it should not improve sound, as internal crystal should always be more accurate than syncing from something external.
I'm using neve 1071 remote pres with antelope orion32 with the 10m clock at 1 end and a computer with madi fx card with the eclipse on other end can I use the orion to send clock thru madi to the card and clock the eclipse from WC out from madi card?

Sure. But the Eclipse can also use the clock from the AES connection that you will use (as it is the only way the FX card can communicate with the Eclipse - sending a stereo monitoring mix via XLR). Word is not needed then.
Yes cause it's being hooked up thru aes .and I can't run 2 independent clocks....also will madi carry the 10m clock?
MADI will take the input clock and transport it to the MADI output, so everything will stay in sync. But it is not the '10m' clock anymore, in case you talk about fully identical jitter specs. Every unit processes incoming clock in different ways. Only a simple distributor unit would not touch the clock and send it out identical.

You just answered my question as well. 
thnx MC!
yes...but i cant run wc that long...but madi will carry the ext clock from the 10m to the madi card?
Of course.
