+1 for red blink low battery warning on erx.

Great. Trx now receiving zaxnet. FUN. Thanks! Had a hiccup today. None of my files mirrored to the mirror card even though mirroring was on. Only this evening after an hour of head scratching noticed the primary folder wasn't the same as the mirror folder. Duh Ouch the leaning curve.

What should TC jam mode be set?

Worked with 2erxtc yesterday for the first time. Great little system. Attempted to lock my trx900 with zaxnet with no luck. As of which firmware on the trx is this possible? I think I have all Trx settings right...

Just received my erx units, have all settings matched with nomad, erx unit receiving timecode. Is it just me or is the timecode displayed on the erx units a touch behind what's displayed on nomad?

My nomad freeze on bootup. All led's on front panel on. Fix?

Done. Thanks Jeff.

It's possible to upgrade a 201 > 401? What does that factory upgrade entail / cost?

That a strange logic having a ta3m?

The erx > camera cable that is. Stereo mini out from the erx, split to bnc on left and ta3m on right.

Wonderful. Thank you Jack and Derek. Very helpful. I suppose my back up is to hardwire bnc jam the camera directly from the nomad every couple hrs, and have camera shoot nomad slate every take? The cable I plan to build is: St.mini (L) 12 inches > bnc, ® 8 inches > ta3m. When audio scratch needed, idea is to plug my existing ta3F> XLRm into the ta3m. (just makes for a smaller connector to stuff down in whatever erx case I find when not in use) Does that seem a reasonable way to go?

Don't need timecode out from the c300 thankfully, just to take the code from the erx being fed by zaxnet. Getting all the various settings right on the morning of the shoot is what I'm nervous about.

Shoot coming up, won't have my hands on camera till the morning of unfortunately. Don't have my hands on erxtc yet either. Going Nomad to erxtc. What settings do I need along the chain to feed timecode. Unsure about voltage out of erxtc and other settings, zax and cannon.

What antenna mod is that?

Power it off a stubby np1, or get a Bebob engineering unit or some other custom powering solution. AA batteries are not the way to go.

Great thread!

I mixed digital and analog radios in my bag ONE time. Was a zaxcom studio rx. It definitely was not was I was expecting. It did not feel right living there along with my lectrosonics. I didn't end up hanging on to that set, even though it was a great kit. Adjusting delay might have helped me get over the feeling. Is anyone using digital and analog radios in the same bag? Or is it a situation where you really just use one or the other.

I NEED to +1 Richard Lightstones comment above. Well stated fair and balanced position. We do not own the recorded material. Setting up multiple backups and timecapsules and clouds... Why?I understand the feeling of wanting to be the hero and be celebrated for saving the day in the "just in case" scenario but, in the present day, as a group, we contribute in small and big ways to setting standards and precedents. I do not see any reason why a sound recordist or mixer need add a full skillset of data wrangling, duplication, asset management etc... to the end of our day or weekend. I heartily agree with the fair position of, hand off all data as soon as possible, keep one backup till production makes a back up. Follow up within a couple days and move on. (Read delete). The longer any one of us retains these files "in case", the more responsible we become for everything retaining them entails. *We are not responsible* (what I want to say) : "here are the files, make two backups immediately, I'm clearing my harddrive for my next project in 48hrs" My two cents. That harsh?

If not too late I would very much like to suggest line level capability.

A series I worked on recently used pix 240's in vehicle. Three units each tied to a camera. Two dashboard and one seat back. I was happy to jam them one by one with a 744 and send audio from a 302 setup dropped in the backseat. Monitored from follow vehicle for issues. Synch stayed spot on . Post was real happy with synch, video quality and audio quality. Nice little box. Easy setup.

"Two lane blacktop". The pacing of this film is so...subdued, I can't look away. Came on a couple times in the last decade on a specialty channel. "Let's get lost". Doc on Chet baker. Similar time slowed down feeling. First time I watched it, I was about to turn in, stayed up till 3am. Mesmerized. "the conversation" "three days of the condor" These two run every few years on "Saturday night at the movies" on a regional broadcaster. If any of these films happen to be on, whatever I had planned or was going on gets written off. I agree about "Taxi Driver" The slower type pacing of these 70s classics gets me everytime. I get hypnotized.

As far as a mixer goes, a Shure Fp-33 is easy to find these days, and often at 1/3 the cost of a used 302.

+1. Especially with all the good deals to be had in the buy and sell section of this board recently.

I would love to see an external powering option. For versatility's sake. Can it take line level?
