RadoStefanov Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have an idea. Since the new lectrosonics are digital and there is no eng size reciever, how about zaxcom and lectrosonics get together and make the Lectro TX work with the Zaxcom qrx receiver. In theory it should be very easy. I know this is a crazy idea but I believe the end users will benefit from such an unusual partnership.

VM Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Good idea : Zaxcom has to add a Lectro mode in its receiver. Lectro did with the Senny mode, or Wisycom with their Senny, Evo and audio LTD receiving mode... First of all we should encourage manufacturers to use the same plugs on their transmitters and receivers. Another dream ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very beginning of the second quarter of 2015, we are changing all our 5 pin connectors to 3 pin Lemos. That way there will be four wireless manufacturers using a common connector.

dfisk Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think going to the micro 4 pin lemo like on the original zaxcom digital wireless for the new standard would be the way to go. They were inexpensive and extremely easy to solder..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEF Larry, All jokes aside are you making a small digital receiver? If you are not making one , my idea is great. If you are making a small digital receiver when is it going to be out? I don't understand why this sounds so absurd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The small receiver is a great idea. Compato between Zax and Lectro is down to what the owners of the companies think is in their best interest. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Duffy Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ooh, Ooh. I have a good one: There's a 26 pin Lemo as well - that's the perfect number for doing 8 channels of AES/EBU instead of the bulky 25 pin D-SUB. A great way to hook up a set of digital wireless receivers to the recorder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hey! Let's get Sennheiser and Shure and Lectro and Zaxcom and Quantum 5X to all use the same exact frequencies and transmissions, and we'll live in peace and harmony, and producers will pay their crew members reasonable rates, and everybody will be happy! What dimension does all that happen in? According to the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, there must be a world out there in which all these things are true. Unfortunately... not this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Not absurd Rado. Great idea, but will most likely never happen.I am not saying it will. Just brainstorming here. I know a lot of lectrosonics users are excited about the new digital wireless. But without an eng receiver it will be only good for cart mixers. And what card mixer would want 8 1u units on his cart taking space. It is the equivalent of 4 small "170 grams each" qrx eng size receivers. it is obvious that lectrosonic are behind zaxcom on the digital front. A big transmitter with 3 AAs. A huge 1 channel receiver. And considering it is inevitable that digital wireless will be the norm in the future when " best case scenario" we will have 10 MHz to work with I don't see how practical the current lectro setup will be for most of us... If you look at the last 3 years Lectrosonics lost market share to Zaxcom. Why? Because lectro does not innovate. Now do I need the bulky lectro digital tx? No. Would I be happy to show up on location with my own zaxcom digital receivers package and cover the existing TXs instead of making a heavy lectro 411s bag? YES. P.S. Years ago I was talking about how dumb it is to have a mixer and a recorder in the bag and if SD makes a 552 with time code and 5 ISO channels it will be the logical future of bag work. People laughed and ridiculed then... people that have 664 in their bags now. only time will tell if Lectro will have an eng size receiver in the future.
