Exactly right. It would cost about $700 to fix it. You can get a used one for about $3-400 on Ebay. Not even worth it.

Have an old 302 mixer. Works fine, but the LED ribbon is either broken or unseated. I could most likely buy a part from Sounddevices or just look up the part number and find it from an electronics supplier. However, I cannot get to the actual ribbon. It's sandwiched between the two boards. I took the rubber knobs off of the pots. Seems like the nuts are holding it together from the front side. Any idea as to any things I need to do to disassemble the unit enough to get to the inside? Many thanks.

Greetings, The following were stolen near Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX on Monday night: Sounddevices 664 s#KA0512354010 Petrol PS603 audio bag harness UCR411a Lectrosonics receiver s#4139 UCR201 receiver s#5456 2 SMV transmitters/bodypacks 1 UH400A plug on transmitter s#4310 1 UM200C transmitter s#11495 G2 transmitter, cables Thanks!

Yup, already figured that out. Oh well. I was trying to figure out how much I could save or use with existing gear. Block 21 is great here, block 25 not so much in the city, still works though, even on my scans don't find a totally clean spot but it's decent. I wanted a slot receiver for my HDX900 to avoid the hassle of the wireless plate and boxes, and keep the 400 and 200 series receivers for when I am doing audio or my soundie is working out of the bag, and have the option of wireless hops.

Okay, I'm reading up on the Lectro compatability modes. I have 411a's in Block 25, unfortunately, my G3's are A blocks, 546-558. My only Block 21 Lectro is a 201 so no go for testing this, I don't think the 201 has a compatability mode? I am tempted to go dig in the menu right now...

Forgive my lack of knowledge here about this subject! I have no idea.

I recall someone saying that the Sennheiser G3 transmitters are compatible with a different brand of wireless slot receivers. I can’t remember if it was the Lectrosonics SR series or some other brand when switched to compatibility mode. Can someone please tell me which receiver would work? thanks,

Okay great, will be doing a bench test within the next couple of days. Jamming my HPX3700, HPX370, 664 and slate, and then disconnecting all of them and letting them run for a couple of hours to see what happens. Will have both cams in 59.94, and 664 in 59.94 with the slate in 29.97, since there is no 59.94 on it. Thanks y'all for your help.

Okay, so 59.94 on camera and 664, but no setting on slate for 59.94, only 29.97, do I use 29.97 in my Denecke?

Okay, so here are my timecode settings: Panny HDX900: 59.94, 24p mode, NDF Sounddevices 664: 24p timecode Ext/Cont. timecode Denecke TS-C slate: postion 3 for 24p. Slate and 664 are jammed via lemo cable, sometimes unplugging slate to go slate something. Timecode drifting on camera, slate and recorder are the same. Don't have the HDX900 any more but have my HPX3700 sitting on the shelf, so I could do a test and put it in 59.94, 24p with the same settings. Theories so far: 1. wrong setting in one of the devices 2. i dropped my Denecke slate on the gravel once or twice, maybe the crystal got busted? 3. Sounddevices 664 has latest firmware, but maybe a bad crystal?

Okay, so I now have a 664, and my TASCAM HD-P2 doesn't power up anymore, the screen flashes on for a second and then it dies. It is past warranty. Asking for opinions here, should I sell it for parts, trash it or get a repair estimate?

Okay, cool. Will run audio into camera. Shoot is low budget, so I am not willing to pull out my 664 for this gig. They want two lavs and a boom, so I will use my FP33/TASCAM HD-P2 rig instead jamming my slate to camera time of day, switching to generate and jamming my TASCAM to my slate, panning the typical way two lavs on one track and boom on the other. From what I understand the SDI connector has timecode, right?

Has anyone run audio into a Blackmagic camera? I will be mixing for a shoot with the Blackmagic and I have never mixed for it before. Are there reliable audio inputs or do you use double system sound? Thanks!

I lost my antenna to my block 21 UM200C transmitter, I put on a block 25 antenna. It works. Any pros/cons to this? thanks!

I am probably not going to make the purchase. I don't want to mix my gear too much. I have mostly lectros and Sennheiser G2/G3 series, so having another type of mike connector seems unwise. Want to keep my backup mikes with TA5 and 1/8 inch connectors, don't wanna add a lemo to the mix, because I would have to invest in another type of backup. O would also have to make a custom lemo to xlr or TA3 to use it as a wireless hop along with a G3. Seems like I should spend the extra dime and just go with the SR series for my camera. I would rather just go to all lectros and stay compatible with other peoples' gear if I am on a multi cam shoot. Seems wiser this way.
