Jack Norflus Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The screen, I believe, is the exact size - or very close to the QRX screen. But the new OLED screen has way more pixels and much better resolution than the QRX screen. It is a brilliant display that really needs to be seen in person.

Glen Deakin Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Jack. Do you know of that is going to be the screen of choice for all new zaxcom transmitters as well as an updated version of the qrx receivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 We will be looking for customer feedback on the OLED display before we do anything else with it. I am very happy so far with the look of the display and it seems like it will be the way forward. We will be delivering the RX200 soon and we will see.

Bash Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 There are a number of pieces of kit I know of that operate on external dc with the on/off switch turned to the off position. The obvious one that always amuses me are my Audio Ltd EN2 transmitters. when on INT batteries the on/off switch works as normal, and when on ext dc they will be on so long as there is dc present, including when the on/off switch is in the off position!!!

Glen Deakin Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) The zaxcom trx900AA behaved the same way. Edited August 29, 2015 by Glen Deakin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The zaxcom trx900AA behaved the same way. With an STA adapter attached, the external power is on in the off position and is off in the on position. Put another way, the transmitter's power switch manually selects between internal battery power and external power furnished via the STA adapter.

Glen Deakin Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yes it was always fun having to remind people about that when I rented out my zaxcom system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 i dont need dual mode in a camera link - although i have seen dual mode in camera link setups used in very clever ways. when i do see a need for it the 235 will always be here for that purpose. for some clients (really just 1 at this point) i still need record run tc where the 235 would serve that purpose. the return is another thing i dont need. i have never been satisfied with the fidelity from headphone ports. i would prefer a sennheiser g2 just for return mounted to the top of an rx200 if i felt i really needed return. I just placed an order as well for my rx200. see you in september! hopefully... -Ken Dual mode would have been great for smaller lighter bag setup. Is the filter qrx235 or qrx200 like?

glenn Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 QRX200 flux capacitor filter is in the RX200. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAGaudio Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 So I'm assuming range is the same as qrx235 and qrx200.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 With batteries installed, and DC connected, will the unit use DC until it is not present and then switch to the internals? Or will it drain the internals regardless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 With batteries installed, and DC connected, will the unit use DC until it is not present and then switch to the internals? Or will it drain the internals regardless? it will use the higher voltage source first. So external then switch over. So I'm assuming range is the same as qrx235 and qrx200.... yes. Perhaps even slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAGaudio Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Dual mode would have been great for smaller lighter bag setup. Is the filter qrx235 or qrx200 like? wait so rx200 doesn't have dual mode? :/ It would be nice to throw in a bag if needed while not using on camera.

John Blankenship Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the design and purpose of this unit. It's 1/2 of a QRX200 with an internal battery compartment and time code reception via the UHF signal, built into a small, lightweight form factor. That means it receives from one transmitter, either mono or stereo depending upon the transmitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 wait so rx200 doesn't have dual mode? :/ It would be nice to throw in a bag if needed while not using on camera. the rx200 is a single receiver. It can receive a signal channel from a mono transmitter or two channels from a stereo transmitter. The single receiver allows the rx200 to be smaller then a qrx and extremely power efficent. While the rx200 was primarily designed to be used as a camera mounted receiver it can also work in a bag - though it is a single receiver.

Glen Deakin Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Jack or Glenn do you know when there will be a manual for the RX200 online to read? Also might have already mentioned before but i have did not see In Mono mode does the receiver support XR Modulation?

Jack Norflus Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Jack or Glenn do you know when there will be a manual for the RX200 online to read? Also might have already mentioned before but i have did not see In Mono mode does the receiver support XR Modulation? The manual should be on line soon The menu structure is quite similar to the qrx200 just without dual mode items. The rx200 will support XR but not in stereo mode.

joinwooHK Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 So the audio transmission is same quality as QRX ? It would be nice if rx 200 in the bag , one mic need and in extremely mobile situation with no external battery is need for the receiver .

RadoStefanov Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Loo the rx200 is a single receiver. It can receive a signal channel from a mono transmitter or two channels from a stereo transmitter. The single receiver allows the rx200 to be smaller then a qrx and extremely power efficent. While the rx200 was primarily designed to be used as a camera mounted receiver it can also work in a bag - though it is a single receiver. Looking at specs RX200 is a lot heavier then QRX200.

RadoStefanov Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 The RX200 lighter than a QRX200. Numbers on product pages are often misleading. I am judging by the posted specs: rx200 7.7oz QRX235 and qrx200 6oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
