Default TTL Metering For Lumedyne

I've been using a Lumedyne 400WS system with a strobframe mounted "Next Gerneation" flash head. I like this setup and have grown accustomed to the carry and the weight. While considering puting together an inventory of my own in the near future I'd like to know about TTL metering options for this rig. Can anyone confirm that a module is available from Metz which will essentially control the flash? If it makes any difference the specific camera I plan to utilitze is a Nikon D2Xs.

Anyone else who uses a similar outfit by another maker please feel free to chime in on this question.

Looks like it doesn't do TTL with digital cameras. The feature list here lists only film cameras; I'd assume "All EOS" for Canon refers to all film EOS bodies, as the description probably predates digital cameras except the Nikon D1, which is listed as incompatible.

Quantum QFlash should do i-TTL with your D2XS.
