soundslikejustin Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Well the spray from the STA is basically from the multi-contact pad where it is attached to the TRX - with Maxx there is no pad so that would resolve that issue. THIS is the main reason I wish Zaxcom would just come out with a hop transmitter that is a single product, not a modular add on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe Dolinger Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 THIS is the main reason I wish Zaxcom would just come out with a hop transmitter that is a single product, not a modular add on. They did! The old-school Stereoline TX . . one of the main reasons I am wary of upgrading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTA Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 THIS is the main reason I wish Zaxcom would just come out with a hop transmitter that is a single product, not a modular add on. +1 I would buy that, with a readout screen on the top, like the QRX.

ProSound Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have been pretty unsucessfull with RF spray from the STA and the filter antenna I find awkward. The main reason I ditched my system in favor of a SR hop. I never liked the filter antenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbrock001 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I apologize if this has been brought up as I couldn't find it in my skimming of the many posts. Will there be automixing in the MAXX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Wally Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oh my god. It's so cute. A mini nomad. Would have loved to get one of these, but after owning a N6...not sure I can go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaxnet is something that I can not live without and am happy to carry the extra weight size of Nomad to have EASY ZAXNET TX CONTROL ...

fieldmixer Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I hate to be a broken record but, a Maxx without an add on zaxnet option is a...shame. I would buy one otherwise. I'm happy with my nomad 6 but would welcome less size and weight with the Maxx on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldmixer Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I hope someone out there is listening. Integrating zaxnet into the Maxx as an option is a win-win. Could Making it an Either-Or scenario be possible? The logic of not including it (as an option) escapes me. Zaxcom will find many more Nomad owners as buyers as a result surely. As a smaller box for less intensive shoots and the upshot being it's a back up. The strange thing is, in a way, not having Zaxnet unessesarily excludes Nomad owners as potential purchasers to a degree. Nomad owners already have their hops and erx's. We need the ability to send time code. A major part in double system recording I would say. Am I wrong. Does the case just need to be properly stated? Do we need to start a Facebook page or a petition? Bring zaxnet to Maxx? Even just basic Zaxnet functionality if there is such a thing. (only timecode). Then entice buyers to a Nomad with full Zaxnet functionality which is completely understandable. Take my Money please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I guess zaxcom are trying to market the max as an ENG system. ENG does not involve TC 99% of the time. But IFB is an important part of ENG. I can go tethered to camera but not to IFB... Would be nice if they have 2 options: Maxx with a hop and Maxx with zaxnet and we can choose which one to buy...

Jack Norflus Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 You can always add an IFB 100. And Rado your QRX will send commands over Zaxnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, you as a lector wireless user probably have not experienced the nomad zaxnet TX control. I doubt the qrx100 or ifb100 are even close.

wbrock001 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I love the price point of the MAXX and hope it won't bump up by $400 after release. But since I record depositions, I'd love to see an automixer feature, whether it is a paid add on or not, it would be very useful and I'd think the software nature of the device has the flexibility to add it?

fieldmixer Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Jack, I'm aware what an ifb100 does. Stating that a user can buy an ifb 100, a honking extra box (and well over a thousand dollars at that! Plus cables) to wire in their bag, after possibly just having purchased an internal transmitter (to cut down on the extra wired boxes in the first place), to use zaxnet with the Maxx, is just silly. Really. No amout of ifb100/qrx explanations of how it can be compromisedly integrated will do. I'm sorry. Really I am. Reconsideration will not be regretted. It would be rewarded.

ccsnd Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm aware that purchasing an ifb100 will get zaxnet with the Maxx, but honestly that's ridiculous. I'm sorry. I think wanting all the features of a device that costs considerably more is ridiculous. I'm not sorry. Research and buy the device with the feature set you want. sometimes to get a piece of gear with all the bells and whistles costs more money.

PTA Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 For my work, I love the idea of the built in hop over Zaxnet. I can still transmitt timecode via TRX to my QRX. Fits my needs perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsnd Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think my car should have come with satnav. The trim model up from mine has it. I think me having to pay extra for it is un-reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the discussion is about having it as an option. A PAID one. Also, did you read the part about "limited" functionality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
