nevo Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi I remember a while ago there being a point bought up about a possible option to have selectable outputs mute when not in record. I work mainly in the TVC world with up to 20 comteks out on a regular basis. At the moment I have a inline to TX Switch with flashing LED to let me and crew/talent know that agency client aren't hearing whats happening on the shop floor.(workflow is Tx to camera SDI embedded to Qtake... Tx to comtek It would be a much better situation for me to have outputs muted as a option with maybe some indicator that that was the case.maybe a shortcut so if you quickly want to unmute for a rehearsal you can Any one want to weigh in on this. I have sent a request to Sound Devices Cheers Ant Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Foy Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yes, been hoping for a feature update like that for the 788 for some time now. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevo Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well if everyone who wants the feature requests it via sound devices they may put it in next firmware.... especially as all their competition already have the featureSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afewmoreyears Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 The key is to get the request to the right person... I have asked techs at SD a few times now... I don't know if they actually relay the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinTheMixer Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello, Are you guys simply talking about a switch that would do what potting down all the post fader sends do? For instance, a switch that would do the same as turning 4 faders down if you had 4 tracks being sent to Comteks? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinTheMixer Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello, Someone mentioned automatic with Zaxcom. I'm not sure I know which feature that is. I occasionally turn zaxnet off, if I need a reason to kill the comtek. If I'm using ifb200, just flick the power off, or if using Nomad, go into menu and either turn off zaxnet or just turn the transmitters off. Curious, what are the other zaxcomers using to turn this off? Maybe I'm just forgetting something here. Sincerely, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 If implemented, I wish it would be selectable which tracks to auto-mute. For example to keep the boom fader up, or an input (or return?) to play some tunes while cut. Having some sound go to the Comteks at all times will save you from the "I think my Comtek is broken...".

Constantin Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello, Someone mentioned automatic with Zaxcom. That *may* have been a reference to the ass-wipe capabilities of Zaxcom. Not entirely sure, though, but it was posted in that context. Oh, here is a thought: why don't you read the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
