john.e.perkin Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 A few people have been asking for this - it's a breakout cable for the Sound Devices 788t which enables the user to use the monitor return on channels 7 & 8. Hirose or Neutricon loom connector. https://www.bluecowcables.com/product.php?id_product=37 Thanks, John Perkin Blue Cow Cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_bollard Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Does this make the 788t a 6 track recorder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 using inputs 7 and 8 as a return means you lose those 2 inputs for radio mics, booms etc. you can record the return tracks if you like. effectively it makes it a 6 input mixer but 10 worthwhile tracks to record - L R in 1-8 AUX 1 AUX 2 think ill have to put the prices up on my breakout cable with timecode www.rmsound.co.uk/cables.htm (sorry John. that was cheeky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskellett Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have been thinking about this today, why not, instead of using 7/8 as the returns, you come back to the recorder with a standard male 1/8 inch stereo return ( think 302 headset return cable ) and create a small box that you could A/B select from ( think a simpler version of the Peter Engh Splitmon3). Put the A input as the headphone out from the 788T and the B side could be the return from the camera, it could be simple and small and still allow for all of the matrix headphone selections in the 788 to be monitored and you get to keep all 8 inputs free. Or how about a small box, about the size of a BDS, that you mount a standard multipin connector on the bottom so that you can use all of the ENG cables that you already have, and add a second output on the side that could follow the headphone select that you could use as a comtek/IFB feed and two TF3 xlr's as the signal sends to the camera.
