Apcki Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Looks like Deity launched their newest wireless transmitter. Most interesting to me is that it records and transmits. I assume this gets by the zaxcom copyright because it operates at 2.4ghz instead of UHF? Kinda insane for $250. https://www.deitymic.com/hdtx/ Edit: NVM, I jumped the gun on that. Recording will disable transmission in the US. So not quite as ground breaking, but still nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey LaCroix Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Nifty if there isn’t any other 2.4 gig stuff in the area. I found the Deity Connect to be really iffy around all the camera crap we have to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Anyway a small and versatile recorder for plant mics. Lav TRS and XLR with phantom. Listen in wirelessly. Way better than placing some bulky Tascam or Zoom and hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to do Ortf without cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 If the audio is good I think this is probably the best use of this frequency spectrum for for location mixers (given it's limitations) Ie. wireless booms more likely to have consistent line of sight. AND IT HAS A HP SOCKET (sorry was I shouting?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidelio Sound Co Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I wonder if it can record both inputs at the same time or if they switch like on the Rode plug-on. Would be cool to be able to feed it Timecode from a tentacle while recording audio on the XLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick, you should be here long enough to know that this discussion will all end in tears ; ) Bit more seriously, it's been discussed many times and since not much can be done about it for the time being it's probably not worth fussing about it. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am not pissed off because no one is holding me back from purchasing the tools that I use, and I can use these tools without breaking the law. I am pissed off, however, with those who seem to have no respect or regard for the patent laws. I agree with many that the patent system is antiquated and flawed in many respects, but it is the law. I have found that if one does some research on patents, specifically some of the patents that apply to the tools we have used over the years, develop an understanding of the patent system and the ways that it has affected our technology, this can produce better respect and possibly reduce some of the impulse to be pissed off.

Thanks Chris for your words. PS: They could make a dual slot mircoSD card recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run zaxcom so not really I do think its cool that other companies are pushing boundaries though, as competition is always good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 It was a better choice than alternative choices of "4K-TX" or even "8K-TX"! 😉 Maybe they'll be next year's models? Anyway, I see nothing wrong with having "HD" in a model name? Heck, doesn't Zaxcom have an "HD" somewhere themselves? The ZHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ZHD Thats cause you seem to like Prosumer products The HD in ZHD stands for high desinty as the modulation system allows more channel in that spectrum. I actially avoid compaines that market "HD" audio as its a gimmick to nab consumers who dont know any better. Saying that, said company hasnt actually mention the term high definition but think its easy to work out.

Im from the UK and run full Zaxcom cause I respect the inovation they come up with, Its not just the record function though, its the remote control elemet of the whole system. I cant seem my work flow being anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
