  7. ERX NOSWITCHMOD for camera use

    in Do It Yourself

    I only use mine for camera, so mine are all modded with a bnc in place of the volume knob for tc.

    Might you be willing to share a pic of said mod?  I, too, have 2 ERX's that are in permanent Camera hop mode, but I haven't physically altered them (yet!).

     

  12. New iZotope RX3 Tutorials on Location Dialogue

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks for those - good stuff, I hadn't been using DeReverb correctly, and had been wondering about the usefulness of the programme, mind you this example is about as perfect a scenario as you'd get.

     

      Interestingly I hate the sound of the treated dialog in this example, and generally really dislike the overcleaned' dx that is prevalant and devoid of any normal location indicators.  Some programs are so overdone ( not that I watch much TV ) my brain struggles to relate the voice to the source.

    hi jozzafunk-

    Interesting thought……What would it "look" like if everyone on screen was lit evenly without any shadows or perspective?

    Well, that's exactly what's happening with dialogue, especially when everyone is lav'd up and the above mentioned tools are OVER used.  

     

    Post needs to start compensating for the time delay, and frequency shift when people are close/ far away.

    I want my perspective back!

  15. Nomad 10 Latency

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    "add up from time to time"  regarding latency spec --- what does this mean? Latency in any of these digital devices is what it is --- it doesn't change over time. Are you saying that you need to ask the question every once in awhile just to reassure?

    I'm referring to adding up latency in the chain. I started the thread because a client requested latency info on the Nomad, and as it turns out, 3ms is too much latency in HIS signal path for live TV broadcast.    

    For other purposes and my field work, I'm happy with the Nomad, so no worries here.

    3 milliseconds is also about the same latency with a Lectrosonics 400-series wireless. Roughly 1/10th of a second -- not worth worrying about, in my opinion.

    True, but definitely something to be aware of and add up from time to time in this world of wireless and digital-ness.

    Thanks, how did you measure it please?

    Analog click OUT of protools and fed back analog IN to protools.

    Record a track on the timeline.

    This is our control, the time it takes for a click to make the round trip from Protools OUT to Protools IN. This records the latency of Protools.  Now, MUTE that track.

    Next, add the Nomad to the analog click chain and record click on another track in Protools. 

     

    Measure the difference between track 1 and track 2.

    Didn't seem to matter wether compressors and HPF's etc were engaged on the Nomad or not, still got 162 samples.

    Re-ran experiment with an SD 552, and there was no latency…which is to be expected with an analog path.

  25. Comparing the range of Nomad's built in Zaxnet?

    Hi all-

     

    I appreciate all your thoughts and input on this topic.   What I've seen echoed in this thread is concurrent with what I've heard around town, and that is this:

     

    Out of the bag and LOS, in close proximity to ERX's, Zaxnet works fine.  Some of you feel that a Lectro Lma at 50mw to an R1a has a bit better range.

     

    Thanks, I have a good rough estimate of what to expect and this is precisely the info I was looking for.
