Chris McCallum Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Chris. Are you back up in Tweed this January? I would be interested in checking out the Nomad. MM Hi Mark - no I am in Sydney all through Jan, back around the 30th. When do you pack up and ship out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Boyer Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 An upgrade from 6 to 8 doesn't require a trip back to Zaxcom but there is additional hardware to be installed. Though most likely your dealer can install it - so depending where your dealer is it may require you to ship it somewhere. And I don't know pricing involved but the cost to upgrade will be slightly higher than difference in the price of machines. So this should be kept in mind while pondering between a 6 and 8. HI Jack, I'm advised by Zaxcom that it does need to go back home to the US for the 6 to 8 upgrade at the moment. Not sure of that will change in the near future. The upgrade sounds a bit techy so will require a real savvy tech to do it if it's at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Senator, I've followed your interactions here and elsewhere for a few years now and must say I enjoy your humour - it is humour right? I am the "dealer" you refer to here in Australia, an yes, Chris did place an order some months ago, and yes we also placed a stock order some months ago. Zaxcom are now confident that the Nomad is solid and can now be shipped around the world. Like other dealers outside the US we are in the cue to receive our customers direct orders and our stock orders. It will take time to fill these existing orders, so we must all be patient for the Nomad experience. Cheers Ross Lemac Film & Digital Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane - down under I promise that will be the last plug for Lemac, but I have just joined cyberworld and it is almost my first post. Thanks for your kind understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 WELCOME Ross!! Great to have you here. Although Cyberspace can be a scary place, JWSOUND is one of the least scary places I know (and it is named after me... by me). No problem whatsoever with your first post in this Nomad topic and thank you for using your real name (or at least someone's real name) and identifying yourself as a Dealer. Feel free to post and reply anywhere on the site but please be mindful that if you are posting purely for announcements or dealer promotional stuff, that should go in the Manufacturer & Dealer section. Cheers, Jeff Wexler, CAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplecap Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 the 2 extra tracks will allow you to back up your mix on the same card. It's not a backup if it's on the same card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's not a backup if it's on the same card. sorry. let me clarify if you are working wirelessly, the 2 extra tracks will allow you to back up the tracks you are sending to camera. although, even if you are hardwired, it gives you a copy of what is on camera.

Boomboom Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 6 or 8 ... for the price difference and considering you're far away from USA (shipping costs plus delays if there is if you ever want to upgrade form 6 to 8 tracks), I'd go with the 8 track from the start. More, you'd then have the Linux additionnal processor that comes with the 8, so upgrading again to 12 tracks in the future would be easier; would probably be a software upgrade then, unless I'm missing something.

bendybones Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Besides track-count, the extra slot for microSD, and the MP3 capability, what does the 8 have over the 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nomad 8 adds two extra record tracks, USB recording / Micro SD recording, MP3 capability and air mail capability. There also may be a difference in the number of auto-mix tracks - but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendybones Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 So Zaxnet is available on all units? Or just from 6 and up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nomad 8 adds two extra record tracks, USB recording / Micro SD recording, MP3 capability and air mail capability. There also may be a difference in the number of auto-mix tracks - but I'm not sure. I was initially told that the 8 track would have 10 auto-mix tracks, but more recently, Glenn has said that it'll probably have only 6 auto-mix tracks.
