Hello!
You should not try to trigger thru Smart Shooter since it sends the signal thru USB, use the shutter release ports on the cameras and use either corded or wireless remote.
There are a few ways to set the delay on the flash so that you can capture it even if the cameras are out of sync.
You could use the PocketWizard MultiMax http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/transmitter_receiver/multimax/
You can use strobes that has such capability (Elinchrom strobes for example can be set at different delays, other brands might too).
You can use a device such as Multiflash Plus (this is what I use) http://www.techphotoblog.com/tpb-66/
If you have a speedlite you can set it to rear curtain sync and use it on one camera (set at a shorter shutter say 1/25th or so and the other cameras at 1/8th or so) and trigger other strobes by its light.
These are some ways to do it.
I've mixed Canon 100D, 1100D, 600D and Nikon D3200 in a rig without issue.
Best, Magnus.

Precision Delay Times
Custom set in transmit mode for remote units and/or port 2 on the MultiMAX. In receiver mode, precision delay offers delay sequencing or camera/flash synchronization.
