Found this battery 

https://www.canbat.com/product/12v-20ah-lithium-battery/

Do I need a Battery Management System or the battery poles straight to the XLR4 ?

What kind of charger do you suggest ? 

What sparked my questioning is that I was looking into upgrading my recorder for this "flagship" model and realized it was 24/48 maximum.

I even see many "prosumer" recorders with 32/192.

I know that recorders are much more than just specs but I would hate for this expensive recorder to be "obsolete" if I start getting requests for higher resolution within the next years.

Hello, everybody.

I just wanted to get your thoughts on audio file resolution (bits and sample rate) since more recorders are being released with higher specs. 
I’ve been delivering 24/48 files for years.

Do you feel this will change anytime soon ?

Does the nomad trip the battery protection even when using a RA BDS ?

Hi Max,

Deva 24 has 16 AES inputs with AES42 support. Not available yet, but NAB isn't far away.

Hi, I'm well aware of the Deva 24 my point is I don't need 12 analog mic inputs and having 2-4 would make the machine cheaper and smaller.

; )

I would like a D (digital) version on the Deva . A lot of us are running wireless only systems and as a zaxcom wireless user i'v been using the aes outputs on my Qrx's for years.

A recorder with 2-4 analog inputs and 10-12 aes would be great, Something similar to the sound devices 970 but controller (fader board) compatible. 

Big miss for me if it's under 8 aes inputs...

The rest seems amazing.

Anybody is using this kind of cable to charge and use the usb at the same time ?

Any other tablet options ? The winbook seems hard to find in Canada...

On Nomad in the Scene field I enter the "scène" and "plan" and separate with  a dash "-" and the take field is the take.

So if I do  Scène 21 plan 1, my scene field would be 21-1

very simple, never had any confusion.

Unless you have a very particular situation, I have absolutely no idea why you would use a CP Beam as a transmitter zaxnet antenna. You'd have your directors and producers immediately behind you asking why their feeds are dropping out ha, but seriously I use a 1watt amplifier going to a omni direction antenna. Boosts the power and range significantly. With the exception of bleed on my analog inputs...but this has all been talked about quite a bit you can do some searching for more specifics. Good luck mate!

In my situation Zaxnet is only for my Boom op, the scratch track and Tx control. The rest is on a different system (Comtek). This is why i'm looking into a more directional solution mostly for exteriors.

Anybody tested this with Zaxnet ?

I'm using the Omni antenna at the moment which is great to have on the antenna mast but doesn't give me anymore range than the standard antenna.

Same as Justin, backup, sound ok just taking less spl than cos11

New from PSC.

There is no hardware adaptor for trxla's and zfr300, only for the Trx900AA and Zfr100.

About the ZFT300 from Zaxcom website.

"The Zaxcom ZFR 300 (Zaxcom Flash Recorder) is the same size as Zaxcom TRXLA2 wireless transmitter and can accept standard lavaliere microphones. A stereo ZFR can accept two lavaliere microphones, or two unbalanced microphone inputs."

Great carts, are you able to fold the bottom plate on the filmtools cart ?

The TRX900 CL has two 3 section bandpass filters. They prevent any transmitter RF from effecting the receivers in the sound bag as long as the receivers are not in the block next to the transmitter block. 

Since there is only 1 transmitter for 2 channels of audio and time code there is no possibility of intermodulation products. I think it is as good as you can get.

Is the Maxx Tx the same as the CL ? Minus Zaxnet of course.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about updating/streamlining my backup system, and I'm thinking that choosing between a Nomad Lite or Maxx would serve as the best 2nd machines to backup my Nomad 12, which has become my primary recorder. I'm currently using my Fusion 10 as a backup, but it might be a little too much machine to just have it sitting around all day in a Pelican, and I could certainly stand to gain some space in my backups case. I should note that I currently use Lectro wireless, so the Zaxnet considerations are not really a selling point.

I like the idea of having a 2nd, tiny, lightweight rig, for shoots where I might be doing more physical activity, like being out in nature, but I also feel like the Nomad is not really all that much heavier (a little over 1 pound), and the redundancy it would have as a backup might outweigh any advantages of the smaller Maxx.

I think at this point I'm leaning towards another Nomad, but perhaps some of you who know both of these units could maybe share your perspectives and help with my decision? Id love to know if there any real differences between the two, other then track count/size/weight (discounting the Zaxnet IFB in the Nomad vs. Hops Transmitter in the Maxx); thus far I don't see any.

Thanks in advance,

E.

I'm curious, Is it for cart or bag use ?

I'm comparing the Tx manual from 2010 and the 2013 (trx900LA) manual

Our TX antennas are different from the RX antennas. They have a slightly different length due to the difference in the base.

 

Glenn

The manual indicated the exact same lengths for Tx and Rx ( Qrx100 manual and trx900LA manual)

The older user guide shows 3.81" for the blk 24 and the new one 4.69"

Did i cut my older antennas too short ?

I use my Cub-1 with my zax tx with no problem.

No pic of your boom op on that sunny day ? That was the best part

I strap it to the end of the boom and use velcro on the bottom of the tx and on the boom. I use a short XLR to connect to the mic jumper cable.Works pretty well.

Can this unit be used for both, camera hop or in-bag  

Yes.

receiving audio from 4 individual Txs

No, only 2 tx's like an Srb.

I don't want to derail the thread but could the problem be that there is not enough people working on that list ?

Just a thought.
