pindrop Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Any chance of a two channel receiver designed to drop in the slot of many shoulder mount Sony/Panasonic cameras and with a stand alone (not in the slot) option? Ie. so you don't have to hang the receiver off the side/back of the camera so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 --When will this recorder start shipping? --Is it powered like the Nomad, or external only, or what? --what is its DC draw? --Is there a TC i/o ? --Is there WC i/o? --Records to a single piece of media (ie the internal CF)--can it also record to something external to at the same time? nice lookin' box! phil p It should ship before the end of the year if all goes as planed. DC power should be about 300mA @12Vdc. Time code I/O is a single BNC connector. It is an output or an input depending on the mode of the machine. There is no WC input or output with sample rate converting inputs it is not neccessary. It records to a single CF card slot. Both MARF and linear wave files are recorded at the same time.

Zack Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Maxx was designed with simple and fast as key design criteria. Glenn For this reason I wish I could test it on a show I'm doing. Lots of traveling I do (flying), and small spaces to shoot. This gives me exactly what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Alot of people can not live without Zaxnet. It has become the "secret sauce" that makes our gear so tasty. This product is made to address a different market than Nomad. The price of Nomad is not that much higher than Maxx so if Zaxnet is a must then Nomad is right for you. I do see people using Maxx and Nomad in the same bag as a 10 channel mixer with Zaxnet and 2 channel camera link. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 It records to a single CF card slot. Both MARF and linear wave files are recorded at the same time. Glenn I was wondering about that when someone mentioned it had only 1 CF card. MARF and .bwf on the same card --- very cool. This is the perfect solution for the size and pricepoint of this machine (and its intended users). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I do see people using Maxx and Nomad in the same bag as a 10 channel mixer with Zaxnet and 2 channel camera link. Glenn perhaps, if i get a Maxx to go with my nomad, you can give me a years worth of chiropractor vouchers included. not so much the weight of the nomad and maxx, but the 9 or 10 wireless and gubbins as well. ouchie.

RE TC, sorry I'm not familiar w/ Nomad--is the TC an output or an input while recording? I asked about WC since one of the major duties of my SD recorder is being a WC generator for other devices. Both flavors of files get recorded to the card at the same time--to separate folders I guess? thanks phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccsnd Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nomad has 2 bncs for TC. One for in, one for out. It has no WC I/o without getting one modded. I assume the one TC I/o on this device will probably be menu selectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Been reading through the threads here, but have a question Glenn. Do you have to have the AES option to get the additional recording tracks option? I'm really just wanting the 4 analog inputs and 6 tracks.

Bash Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 If you send digits into a digital machine, and they are sample rate converted on the way in, then by the time they come out of the samle rate converter (even if it is converting from 48kHz to 48kHz) the OP samples are all alignd correctly anyway, so no WC IP is required. Kindest regards, Simon B p.s. come on you USA folks - lets make it to 100 posts on Maxx in one day, before we get to midnight your time !!!!!

Michael McQueen Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm psyched on the whole maxx and nomad lineup. Using a maxx on the job I'm on right now would be very beneficial instead of using 302, 2x lectro tx's and a Tascam recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that when you send a signal into a converter it comes out converted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
