RadoStefanov Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Beta software does not fix dual mode bug. I had the 2 frequencies set on 2 single mode qrx and was listening to dual mode in left ear and single mode in the right. When drop outs are happening the RF level is all the way up. At this point I am switching to single mode only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have talked to Rado and we should have this solved by tomorrow. It was a bigger bug than we thought. The current problem has nothing to do with RF and only with combining the signals from 2 seperate transmitters for output. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze Frias Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 More importantly, THANK YOU guys for being on the bleeding edge of technology, testing and reporting all the bugs and fixes so that we, who are about the pull the trigger on one of these systems, can enjoy the bug-free versions. Cheers, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadoStefanov Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 3.27 qrx200 in dual mode is rock solid. Have been using it for the last 2 hours. Thank You Howy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Goldberger Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Rado, are you "re-recording" from the transmitters through your nomad or are you just handing in the data to the DIT and explaining the issue? E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I ran 3.27 for about 8 hours today, no problems. The dropouts do seem shorter when they happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was monitoring while one of the talent walked out of the room and was on the edge of range. I didn't have any dropouts during filming.

Solid Goldberger Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ah, this is a deva/fusion-only thing? I just ordered my first Zax wireless to try out, so just getting my head wrapped around the workflow. E. No such option to re-record with nomad/wireless.

cameronlenart Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 It's a 'yet to be implemented' feature on the Nomad. So you're stuck with ingesting the micro sd cards for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(: Hey Rado, I'm fairly certain you aren't using a a Fusion or Deva on a regular basis, do you have a workflow you like to use with the SD cards? Not to sound whiny, but at the end of a long day pulling all the cards then running them through Zaxconvert and then transferring them all to one folder seems like an awful hassle, especially if you have 6-8 of them out. That has got to add a half an hour to an hour of wrap time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 A small price to pay for what it does imho... Don't know how rerecord would make it faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Goldberger Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 A small price to pay for what it does imho... Don't know how rerecord would make it faster If there was some way to just have the recorder wirelessly pull the files from the transmitters, perhaps placing them in their own folder on the mirror CF card, it would certainly make that process simpler, if not faster. The re-recording/mixing is less desirable to me, as there's just not ever gonna be time in my days on the kind of jobs I do. The recording transmitters are certainly a welcome extra layer of backup, but they're just that: a backup. The recording transmitters shouldn't be considered a stand-in for proper RF performance (IMO), and I feel that if you are needing to pull these files to give to post any more often then just the occasional emergency, there's a flaw in some part of the workflow. e.

Solid Goldberger Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If zaxnet and the transmitters had some sort of ad hoc file sharing system it'd be magic! It would certainly make an all-Zaxcom bag a more desirable system. And while we're thinking about dream scenarios, what if the recorders could somehow just automatically replace the sections of audio on the master recordings where the dropouts occurred, rather then re-recording or adding duplicate files to the cards, Since the digital dropouts are effectively "signal present" or "no signal" it should be possible, at least in theory.

Olle Sjostrom Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I thought of that too. Wouldn't be too hard to make a code that could ingest the missing pieces. The dropouts are silence right? So that would mean everytime there's a dropout there's silence on the track. If the tracks have the same name as the transmitters so that the metadata and timecode match, in theory it would then be able to "fill the blanks" automatically. But then again, in theory the world would be at peace and everyone would dance and love each other... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
