Tong0615 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I have seen a official picture, there is a 2,4GHz antenna on the new SX-R4+ from Sonosax. Does SX-R4+ has some similar function like ZaxNet? That will be really cool.!

VASI Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I don't think the 2.4 GHz wireless on R4+ works like ZaxNet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's a wifi module so you can use an interface for the recorder through a web browser (no apps required). More similar to nomad touch, cl-wifi etc (but doesn't need a cable). The earlier versions had the antenna inside the machine, however it caused a problem with some low level noise in the audio when the wifi was being use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Anderson Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 this reminds me; Richard, can you make a short video of using the web interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, it's just running metering, track arming, Rec on/off and metadata. Might be able to do something tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Anderson Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'd be interested to peek, even for just that. there are probably others as well who would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sonosax is wireless and not an app. Touch is wired. Zaxcom really drop the ball on the Touch. Its a shame considering how well it would have served me wirelessly. In the bag it is worthless!

glenn Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 While I am not familiar with the Sonosax, wireless VS wired is not a measure of how advanced a product is. If someone wanted to use the touch in a wireless mode is easy to do but it is not recommended. I like our products to function under all circumstances not just when Wifi channels are favorable. There have been other WiFi solutions put out that were dismal failures we do not want to go there. But if that is what you want you can get it set up.

Glenn By the same logic we should run wired lavs to all telent but I am not going to argue wired vs wireless. And by the same logic Zaxnet is not recommended because it is wifi. Glenn Please...

glenn Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 No Rado. Zaxnet is not WiFi at all. In fact it is completely different. It only shares the 2.4 gig band with WiFi. We use wireless mics because we have to. Going with a cable in a sound bag for touch is just good practice. WiFi would not be as reliable and the last thing we need is more wireless stuff on set. Hardwire where possible. If you need a WiFi touch then you can do it. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see advantages with both cabled and wireless control, depending on the situation. The Sonosax does drop the connection if you leave it for a while, but is just a case of clicking the 'connect' button again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sam Kashefi was able to do a wireless Nomad Touch solution by using the Kangaroo PC hardwired to the Nomad, and using an iOS app to remote desktop into the Kangaroo PC from his iPhone. Looked very robust. Delay was barely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadoStefanov Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 There is not a single touch user that would say: I don't want touch to be wireless. Wired is just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Kashefi Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm using Nomad Touch on my Ipad via wifi. It's not ideal but better than having a full size usb connector attached to a tablet in the bag. You can use a wifi hotspot app like Connectify to be able to have a peer-to-peer network. The range is enough to burry the mini-pc in the bag and walk around with an iphone or Ipad. There is a module to transcode serial to wifi signal, but it's too technical for me to figure it out. it's called ESP8266. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention USB ports are not know for their robust constriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
