Ability to name tracks directly from the Input Settings Screen Shortcut (METERS + RTN A) to switch frame rate and sample rate display on Meters view Added Headphone User-configurable Presets for a total of 10 Changes Internal battery warning threshold comes on below 5.5v instead of 6.0V. Added confirmation dialogue when loading default track names. Fixes Tone L-Ident not present in headphones. When tone is active, HP monitor is always internally monitoring LRST.

TimPitot Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 +1 Peak + peak hold metering in the next one please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpiegari Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Certainly some nice refinements. I like the access to track name edits from the input settings screen however, it seems more critical to access my track LIST here than to edit.

Sandor Gyurkovics Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It did feel like the meters were showing a bit low relative to camera. Feels better now. Hope it's not an illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Wang Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 hi Matt I can't remember who mentioned this function , is 664 can route the timecode output to X1 or X2, while using free run ? and if it can't now, is this something can be added into the future software ? e.g.: when 664 is not rolling, there is no tc output in the X1&2(by menu selectable on&off), and when it's rolling, the free-run tc will be sent to x1or2. thinking use this function to remote control some other devices. best Cloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been talked about on the SD forum and I think under consideration. In the mean time you can take the lemo TC output using a cable and externally route it into a channel and assign that channel to either X1 or X2 and make sure Mix L/R is unchecked.

Yes that was true and was fixed in firmware update 1.03 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvanstry Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I second on timecode routing to audio output option and also peak metering. Metering would be great if peak only and peak plus hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaskas Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Has anyone encountered this problem: Firmware is updated on my 664 and says so on the "splash screen", but none of the new features/shortcuts are functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Buncher Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 My 664 arrived a couple weeks ago along with the standard SD manual on that heavy cream colored paper. When I first looked thorough the manual I was expecting some discrepancies due to the recent firmware upgrade but that was not the case. It was up to date; a quick look to the bottom of the page confirmed 1.03 firmware. I just think Sound Devices is such a class act.

skaskas Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Which ones aren't working? The new "meters+RTN A" shortcut AND naming tracks in the Input setting screen do not work. I havent been able to test the new battery warning threshold at 5.5v but I also do NOT get a confirmation dialogue box when I load default track names. However, I DO have an added headphone preset and the added routing options for tone. very strange! any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I think he means that, while using free run TC, it would only output when the 664 is in record mode. The Zaxcom recorders have a setting for TC output that is either "generator" or "disk". basically the "disk" TC is like it is coming off the tape in the old days. It's still that same free run TC, but only sending while recording. Some people use this to trigger a 2nd machine that flips to record when it sees TC, but they are running a free-run setup.

However, I DO have an added headphone preset and the added routing options for tone. very strange! any ideas? My Meters+Rtn A works as expected, all it does is toggle the Sample Rate and TC Frame Rate display on the LCD. To change names in the input screens, make sure that you toggle the screen open first, then press hold the input toggle to the right until the Edit Channel Name screen opens. Where are you trying to load the default track names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
