Toy Robot Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Did anyone tell Petrol/Portabrace? I hate the Camrade bags, and it's significantly bigger than the 442/552. I'm sure they're on it. problably fit in a petrol 614 Negative. I own the PS614 and the 552 is tight in it. This unit is 1.6" wider, which is significant, and will render the PS614 useless for this unit unless you stretch the material far beyond it's spec.

afewmoreyears Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 You know, the 744 has no necessity for a keyboard.... Entering data may work similar to that of a 744... a push and turn knob maybe.... We will see.... I would hate to have to plug in anything to rename a scene....

johnpaul215 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 problably fit in a petrol 614 I'm not so sure, this thing is big! The 614 does allow lots of cables to stick out the sides, but the 664 box itself is over 12" wide. The Nomad just fits in the 614 and it's 9.9" wide. I'm sure Petrol is hard at work on a new bag, or one of the bigger bags will hold it. 664 Dimensions and Weight Dimensions: 5.3 cm x 32 cm x 19.8 cm (H x W x D) 2.1" x 12.6" x 7.8" Weight: 4 lbs. 12 oz. (unpackaged, without batteries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry long Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks Vin. How about a plug in for movie✫slate via wifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 A step in the right direction as far as design for people who don't like nomads interface...I guess SD reads suggestion by me and Tom Visser on this forum...It only needs a cl WiFi for metadata and to loose at least a pound. I don't understand why put pan the pan knobs in a multiple output solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadoStefanov Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I want to buy your nomad. Msg me. This looks AMAZING. Anyone want to buy a Nomad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm just not sure what else they could do without getting into the wireless market... I think it addresses the downfalls of the nomad. Especially with the input section being on the side instead of the bottom. They definitely listen to their customers! Personally im scared to death of all in one solutions. I was on a shoot the other day, the mixer brought his nomad... Had it all setup and then boom he had zero output on any bus... Thankfully he had his trusty sqn or they would have been waiting on him. It took a firmware reset to fix it. This is why simple is so important to me. Could this happen with any mixer? Yes but our technology is getting more intricate with more potential for failure. Having a less complicated simple solution instills confidence that it will always work. I still think nomad and maxx are great products but I prefer SD because well... Im paranoid! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesstar Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Isn't this better than the Maxx by being able to record 6 ISO tracks instead of the 4 ISO's that the Maxx does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think SD did a very good job of listening to how bag-soundies want to work anymore and responded. The modular approach to adding inputs is a great idea I think. The 664 might be a response to the Nomad, but the Nomad was a response to the 552--that's how it goes. Glad to see that Sven was retired. Glad to see a knob for every input--old school I know but that's what I like. Good move on the TC feature. I hope the sunlight readability of the display is for real. Sorry to see the LCD+LED "split display" go, but I guess that's how you get that much info visible at once. Very clever and observant of how real jobs work. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shug Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Really hope there is a way to edit metadata on the files in this. it would be great to have it set up in the bag and leave the 788 on the cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayushahuja Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just a guess, but in the 7-series the keyboard usb port has always been the flat rectangular type and the cf/drive mounting one has been the squarish type (as seen on the 664). It could just be a CF/SD card mounting port. Exciting machine! Yush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean McCormick Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 This IS a game changer for me, as I mostly live out of a bag these days and need ISOs more and more often. I love my 788 but the power requirements are pretty steep. Already pre-ordered the 664 from Trew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Stage Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Naming tracks is possible. The track names of iso tracks will appear on the Input Settings screens as well. Here is the Input Settings screen for Input 1 after I named it "Boom": Recording to both media (CF and SD) simultaneously is supported. It is possible to send all tracks to one media, just the iso tracks, or just the bus tracks. This assignment is made independently per media, so you could send just your iso tracks to the SD and just your LR mix to CF (for example).

Michael Wynne Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I am so excited for this product, I have been waiting for SD to do something like this. Congrats SD on launching a game changer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Sanchez Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is great. For the same price of a 788t (or cheaper?) you can get the 664 and the cl-6. You get more inputs (12 vs 8 ) and more tracks (16 vs 12). And if you need less you just split it. Sounds good. I wonder if you can use the CL-9 or if they are releasing the equivalent? That would make it an all-rounder, from small to big bag to cart. Might be selling my 788t SSD soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it addresses the downfalls of the nomad. Especially with the input section being on the side instead of the bottom. They definitely listen to their customers! "Downfalls" is a strong word. A lot of us are using the Nomad on a daily basis with 100% satisfaction. Let's be real, this is a reaction to the Nomad (including the Zaxcom style routing on a color screen). It looks like a black Nomad if you squint! As for listening to users, both companies listen to their customers input or they wouldn't exist. It might not be as obvious here, but on Ye Olde Deva User's Group there were a lot of user suggestions that Howy would implement in no time. If it was an easy software change, they would do it. If it wasn't possible, or required a lot of work, they would explain that and maybe it went on the list of things to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 operator error That's what i thought but after a call to zaxcom, apparently this is a known issue? I was standing right next to him when he made the call.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 So..... you should easily be able to name your scene as well correct..... "myflmdy1" or "101" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arnold Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I want to buy your nomad. Msg me. Ha! Haven't quite made the decision yet Rado, but you'll get first refusal if I do!

Nic Stage Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 You can enter scene names just like in 7-Series recorders. It weighs 4 lbs 12 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
