Zaxcom trxla3.5 stereo as camera link


osa

Recommended Posts

Curious to know if anyone is using a TRXLA3.5 stereo as camera link instead of CL fixed block? I have been considering this as an upgrade path with my RX200's but is there a way to feed timecode separately from a QRX etc? I have no experience with a camera link scenario outside of CL's and everything being embedded in the same signal.

I’ve been wondering this myself. I once had a Camera Link but sold it because I rarely need to send a stereo mix to camera and would prefer wireless that can function as a body pack if necessary. In another thread it’s pointed out that the input is unbalanced.

 

I was also wondering if it is possible for the Trxla3.5 to receive TC via zaxnet and then embed that timecode feeding an rx200.

While the TRXLA will pass TC ans will work the down sides are

1) Lack of filters on the transmitter - which means the RF so close to receivers in the bag can possibly de-sensitive the receiver.

2) Unbalanced input

3) No option for a DC input - you would need to create a battery eliminator.

 

Bit old i know, the filter thing seems to be the same problem as the current CL, how much diff does unbalance input really make (URX/ERX are both unbalanced outputs), really only make a diff over longer cable? Eliminator is pretty easy. Been playing with a couple of my old tx today, and they have stereo as an option, so i set it to that, set tone, and it shows 2 lines on the tx screen, on the URX it also shows 2 lines, when i switch off L, one channel drops out and vice versa. Are my trx900la and trxla2.6 stereo and just not advertised as such? I dont have (but will make) a stereo splitter to try this out properly.
