.... HP preset changing is live as you select them from the list. You also have multiple PFL capability. These questions are coming thick and fast!

664 sandwich!

.... and, and Return A,B and C gains are all gain adjustable without having to go into the menu - so very quick.

..... and PFL is available on AES inputs

In answer to Gotham live questions, 664 does support SDXC. Paul

Yes - any folder or file from CF to SD of SD to CF. That's all from me tonight. Jon will reveal the rest tomorrow!

That is not possible for the same reason you can't tune an AM radio into an FM signal.

Yes- that's why they employed a Brit ....me! But before we get to that, lets agree to call it football:)

Alkaline batteries will work in the 664, but NiMH offer better performance. Also seamless external/internal power switching is optimized for NiMH internals - a couple of reasons why we advise to use these rather than alkaline. It is not possible to recharge batteries in the 664. If that is an important consideration, the 788T, 744T etc offer recharging capability. The only battery the 664 charges is the internal timecode backup battery which will continue to count and output timecode from the Lemo output with 0.2ppm accuracy for 2 hours after switch off. The 664's 2 hours of backup should be sufficient for most lunch breaks or battery changes:) If not, the 788T offers 6 hours of backup. Paul

FYI, V1.17 released in March at no cost to user, includes the improvements requested above. Paul

Here's a quick and accurate way to calibrate input audio delay to match your video camera's SDI out processing delay . . . - Feed mic signal to both camera and PIX audio inputs - Set PIX Audio Input to "Analog 2ch + SDI" - Set PIX HP monitor to monitor all audio inputs in mono ('12345678' setting) - Adjust PIX audio input delay until you no longer hear any delay or phasing between the SDI and analog input. Paul

Much less than a frame - virtually 0! The delay is solely due to the video processing delay of the camera to its SDI out. F3 is about 2 -3 frames if I remember correctly and here are a few others . . . EPIC 1080p23.98 140ms EPIC 1080p29.97 100ms EPIC 1080p25 110ms PAN-HPX300/370, 1080i59.94 80ms PAN-HPX300/370, 720p59.94 0ms Paul

How about using Wave Agent Control mode on a notebook? http://www.sounddevices.com/products/waveagent.htm Paul

Yes. ISO tracks are unaffected by Mix-assist. Only the designated 1 or 2 track mix down is mix-assisted. Paul

Hi Peter Location Sound is well supported by Sound Techniques: http://soundtq.co.nz/ Speak to Stephen Buckland. or alternatively speak with Mike Westgate who frequents this forum: http://www.mikewestgatesound.co.nz/ cheers Paul

Yes the 788T can edit metadata for previous, current and next takes during recording across all media simultaneously. As far as editing the NEXT take whilst recording a current take, the CL-Wifi allows you to edit track names, notes and take number. To edit scene name of Next take you must be stopped - that is the only limitation and one that only affects the Next take. Paul

Or record poly, then use WaveAgent or BWF Splitter to split to mono before recombining! Paul

FYI You can sample-accurately combine up to 3 x 788T files (24 tracks) using an app called BWF Combiner from - http://www.one-n.com/bwfcombiner.html You also don't need to go through any renaming step. Limitations gone!! Paul

No, not a dream . . . more like a reality. You just need two linked recorders that can start and stop together sample accurately, generate the same metadata and have a combining app that knows what to do with the data. Two 788Ts and Wave Agent can do it. Current Limitations: -Wave Agent is currently limited to 12 tracks. I guess upping this to 24 tracks would be nice! -The slave's tracks must have a different Track ID Number. e.g. master records on tracks 1-8, slave records on tracks 9-12. If this is not possible you can easily rename the slave's file-name's track ID. Although I guess it would be easier if the slave's track ID's could automatically be set to a different range of numbers prior to recording. Paul Sound Devices LLC

If you need to create a unique network, the correct way is to use a unique SSID name - as long as you have a unique SSID, there will be no conflict with other WiFi devices in the nearby vicinity even if they have the same IP address. We removed editing of the IP address because it adds no further benefits in an adhoc network configuration and could in some cases cause connection problems. IP address editing would only be necessary if the CL-WIFI supported access point networks. With WEP64 you must use a full 10-character passphrase. Make sure you enter this exact 10-character passphrase in your iOS device - it is case sensitive too. If you incorrectly enter the passphrase, the iOS device will not notify you - this is a limitation of WEP, not the iOS device. This may lead you to believe that you have successfully connected, but in actual fact you haven't. If still no joy, then many iOS WiFi problems can be resolved by setting your iOS device to 'forget' the network you are trying to connect to and/or resetting your iOS network settings. Once you have done this, re-joining the network should work. If none of that works, call our Technical Support and we'll get to the bottom of whats going on. Hope this helps Paul

This is because the 788T has a dedicated internal Li-Ion timecode battery that holds accurate timecode for up to 6 hours when there is no power connected to the 788T. After 6 hours without power, the 788T reverts to a slightly less accurate, but still high precision time-of-day crystal to maintain the time of the unit. Paul

Hi Joe - thanks for your comments. Let me try and answer a few of your points In the 788T, track arming is independent from input routing. Typically, you setup your routing (which you can save if you want to) and then from take to take decide which tracks you want to record using the track arm control. Track arms are not saved in the routing user presets. We put the spinning wheel indication in the app to show when it is updating its take metadata from the 788T. Take metadata is updated everytime you start/stop a recording or make edits to metadata. If the CL-WiFi goes out of range of the 788T, the app will display a message asking you to check the Wi-Fi network and relaunch. Good point. Remembering track meter view settings in the iPhone version is something we are considering for a future update. This is not an issue in the iPad version because there is plenty of room for all 12 meters at all times. Yes there is a difference between enabling and arming a track. This gives added flexibility at the request of many 788T users - 1) the ability to quickly arm/disarm tracks by physically turning an input pot on or off and 2) using a track as an input mix bus for routing to any destination without having to actually record it (thus wasting disk space). For further information on the uses of arming/enabling, please refer to the 788T User Guide Yes this is a small bug which will be fixed in an update. In the meantime, all you have to do is swipe the metering view to refresh the enabled status. You do not need to relaunch the app. No - the app is free. Paul

. . . on the 788 deliverable media or for emailing direct to Post? Paul

Thanks for the feedback Chris. The CL-WiFi app is not a multi-tasking app as some apps are. This means if the CL-WiFi app is closed or another app or process is started (like a phone call), the CL-Wifi app needs to be re-started to relink to the 788T. Did you try setting the CL-WiFi network to 'Auto-Join' in the iphone's Wifi settings? Noted! Paul
