"Can you record Hi-Def audio and make it compatable with older TV's?"

I guess it's all going to depend on your workflow. I often have to send two channels of broadcast quality audio amd TC to a camera. So he me the CL is the way to go.

My main cam snake suggestion is to have 2 fans, ie one for each end, instead of just one at the camera end.  That way you can quick-release yourself from the snake if you need to move fast.  I found this extremely helpful when working OMB out of a bag esp on crowded sets with a lot of lighting gear.

I do the same.

Then you can have different lengths of cables to go between the ends.

The factory reset was removed because it can brick the transmitter.

If you had a card formatted in that transmitter before you started having that problem you can rebuild your settings from the .me file.

While the TRXLA will pass TC ans will work the down sides are

1) Lack of filters on the transmitter - which means the RF so close to receivers in the bag can possibly de-sensitive the receiver.

2) Unbalanced input

3) No option for a DC input - you would need to create a battery eliminator.

All the best.

Fyi the specs have changed as well.

16 Analog inputs 12 with Never clip 

24 AES

8 AES 42

Optional Dante in and out

This unit doesn't have the Dante option.

The Dante units will have a Dante connect in place of XLR Out #4

Hi Jack 

Does it interface well with a GUI? as in, better than the Nomad?? can it work with an iPad IOS??

 

Is the touch screen smaller than the Fusion? is it easy to use with fingers? and read easily.

 

Thanks

Tony

Well I haven't hooked it up to a computer it does interface with it, as well as iOS.

The touch screen is pretty good especially somebody with big meaty fingers like me. 

It's pretty real and it pretty spectacular.

A Sony engineer has confirmed that Sony basically chooses what equipment will be allowed to send AES into their equipment.

This is basically BS because AES is a standard that Sony is not adhering to - therefore they should not be allowed to call it AES if doesn't adhear to the AES standard.

Thanks all for the generous out pour of support - it turns out that the bag was abandoned not far from where it was taken from. Apparently turned in by a good Samaritan. And quite the pleasant surprise all my gear was still there. There was only a few items missing and nothing was of any real value.

I just had a bag go missing yesterday in it was:

Zaxcom RX200 (SN 2581) - with BEC box and assorted cables

TSC slate serial (SN 739) with soft bag and assorted cables

2 IDX NP1 batteries (SN 62477 and 62479)

Zaxcom ERX in Orca pouch (SN 2900)

Versa Flex harness

Please let me know if you see any of this stuff turn up

Zaxcom camera link - sends 2 channels of audio and tc to the camera with a backup tc 2 channel recorder built into the transmitter.

Are these available for the fb3 trx?

no

The Orca 311 is now shipping. I've been playing with the 311 since NAB - and it's a pretty cool little pouch. Its much like the Orca ERX case but with a beefed up belt clip. The case adds a some extra protection while still having easy access to the buttons.

What fieldmixer said.

Simply route the track or tracks you want to play back to an output bus then route that bus to an output of your choice.

When the take is done press stop them press play.

I currently have the ambients - which I've had for years. 

They are starting to get a bit funky - I can on replacing them with the Sound Guys Soutions ones.

Just got off the phone with Zaxcom and you are correct that you have to set it manually. You would think Zaxcom would put this in the manual.

I believe it is in the manual.

The caps alone would not be useful.  The guts of the connector have been modified to accommodate for the short cap!

Would you be I treated in selling the whole connector?

If you decide to sell these I'll take a dozen.

Yes it does work. I have used the COS11 with the tram power supply.

My cos11 are wired ta5 servo bias so i neded to wire a ta5 to ta5 jumper with the proper pin configuration.

I beleive if your COS11 is wired universal then you don't need the jumper.

There is an 18 Mhz overlap between 596 and 614.

Plus as long as the other frequency is with in 35Mhz of the first one you would be ok. 

As Senator Mike would say

"It depends"

You need to have a conversation with production and see what their requirements are - then take it from there.

I'm using np1 batteries and a battery bud power distro and I have no issues.

What happens if you physically separate the power distro and the Maxx?

What else is being powered from the distro? What happens if you power just the maxx?
