KGraham045 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hey, I'm using a Zax Maxx for an interview shoot. I have 2 Denecke SB3s on camera and a TS3 smart slate. All locked to 23.98 fps After only shooting for a 3 hours I noticed my Maxx was behind 3 or 4 seconds. But both lockits and slate were all consistent.. This isn't the first time I've noticed this happen... Anyone notice the Maxx having trouble holding TC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Colazo Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 How old is your maxx? I think the TC battery needs to be changed every two years, mine is due soon here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason porter Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you power down the Maxx, you should probably rejam after you power back up. My Nomad will drift if powered down for more than a couple hours. To remedy this, I sometimes feed TC into my Nomad from an external source.

macrecorder Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes, I had a similar experience. It happened on random, odd occasions which i couldn't replicate on testing. The only solution was an external TC box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes if you poweron Nomad or Maxx and press record right away it will not take the internal time code in to effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGraham045 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's strange sometimes it's perfectly on all day and other times it slips like crazy... Very hard to replicate the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiro nakamura Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 got my nomad jammed with tentacle and one 664 and 633 for 3 crews running and gunning. After half day, my nomad has to re/jam from the tentacle, off synced by about 2 second...SD still accurate at that moment. Dont know why!!!

macrecorder Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Because of their use of the ambient technology, I have always found SD TC to be completely trustworthy, so I don't have to think about it. That's how I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
