Zaxcom will mirror as a WAV file - In all the years of using Zaxcom recorder (Nomad, Maxx and Nova) I had never had any issues with the mirror files. 

You would just need to have the proper adaptor cable that will supply power to two microphones and it will work. 

First day in the field with this guy - loving it so far. 

Did the recording start before the transmitter locked time code?

Sign me up for one. 

A few years ago a company here gave out leatherman with their logo on it. I still have it in my kit.

If you have a Cooper CS104 you are definitely not an outsider here Stephen!

 

Best, Jez

I still have mine!

Hows the mirror speeds on the Nova,  is it painfully slow like Maxx and Nomad?,  on movies I was never able to mirror in time for scene switches,  had to hook them up with zaxconvert,  the DIT's never liked it,  but got used to it. Hoping the Nova is practical with this 

It continuously mirrors in real time.

What is best practice for cabling antenna with the Nova? A SMA to BNC adaptor on the nova end? Or the antenna end?

How long is your cable run - and what antennas are you using?

For bag work where I am using dipoles and the cable length is fairly short I personally like something like an RG-174 (or something similar) and terminate on one side to a BNC and the other to an SMA. For longer runs you may want a beefier coax which would be hard to terminate to a SMA so in which case you would need to terminate to BNC and adapt it to SMA.

As a general rule the shorter the cable run and the less adapters = less loss.

Also make sure you use 50 ohm coax and connectors.

100 feet reach without dropouts as Zaxcom stated on Facebook some hours ago is not really a statement for changing gear from analogue to  digital transmission

I get way more than 100 feet - where did you see that?

Wonder with the mrx414 if you will need zhd modulation to stay in the 40mhz window? 

Nope any modulation will work.

Am I able to use a RF Venue Diversity fin with the nova? Will I still need to used a PSC SMA Multi Splitter or something similar?

You can use any antenna.

How many receivers are you using - because nova already has a built in micplexer.

• Will the Nova support Oasis and Mix16?

It will support Oasis but not mix 16

 

just curious is Oasis supported by the nova upon initial release or is this support coming in the near to not to distant future?

Oasis support is not currently in Nova - but it isnt that far away.

The next major feature that will be added will be MP3 support. Then the oasis support should come not to long after that.

I just ordered one of these, planning to loop the antenna through the webbing on the front of my Ktek bag. With a right angle adapter on the SMA it should both get the antenna out into the open as well as take the stress off of the connector

What were your results?

I use the JB1 for all the reasons mention above.

For me not having a display is a deal breaker.

Can you please advise, in situations like this, would it be ok to send the unit to Ambient as they are offering repair and service or should i go directly to mothership? I don't have any second thoughts about Ambient personnel determination, knowledge and professionalism, just would like  to skip the unnecessary waiting time in case they have to send it to the USA and Zaxcom. 

 

Ambient would be able to check look at the unit and preform some service - if its anything major they would most likely send it to Zaxcom.

The other thing is if it needs parts they may need to wait for them to arrive from Zaxcom.

Is your software updated? If not I would update it. 

Then I would reset the Maxx to factory default and rebuild the setting (not from the card).

I would then put in a new record card - chances are that wouldn't really have too much of an effect - but you want to examine all options. 

If the above doesn't solve the problem - then you have a hardware issue and the unit will need to be sent to Zaxcom for service.

There is a zax net remote for tx control, but will it have zaxnet audio to erx?  Hoping so.  

Yes

That sounds great! And you can configure which encoder controls which input in all the banks? 

Yes

Will the autopick feature also be able to be applied to extra QRX200, TRX/ZMT attached? This is one of my favourite features on my RX12. 

There are some very new and very special features coming for the receivers in the Nova - unfortunately I'm not at liberty to discuss what it is at the moment - but I beleive you will be quite pleased.

If you already are using ZaxNet from nomad there is no reason to use the QRX235 with QIFB.

Stick with wideband QRX200.

I've use my ZMTs and QRX with a SD recorder and it works perfect.  You do lose out on the benefits of Zaxnet

There are several other ways to add ZaxNet to non Zaxcom recorders.

The IFB200 is a standalone zaxnet transmitter that can do everything a Zaxcom recorder can do with regards to ZaxNet - plus you get a two channel back up recorder built it.

Or you can use a camera link - the CL also can give you full function remote control, back up recording as well as feeding audio and time code to the RX200 and the new URX.

Or even QRX235 will have the ability to transmit remote control right from the receiver.

So there is no reason why you can't have full function Zaxnet remote control by using another mixer. 

The internal battery is replacable - i dont have mine infront of me but can you unscrew the back and and pull the battery?

Did you try to plug in power?

The URX is a UHF receiver.

It will receive signal from ANY zaxcom transmitter ever built. 

It will not receive a Zaxnet 2.4ghz signal.

If you want to receive audio via Zaxnet you will still need to use an ERX.
