Zaxcom upgrades Zax-Net time code capability.

The Zax-Net system of time code, IFB audio, wireless remote control and metadata distribution via 2.4 GHz RF signal has had its time code capability and accuracy upgraded. With the ERX1TCD IFB audio/time code receiver the Zax-net system can deliver time code anywhere on the production set with an accuracy of +/- .01 frames with no drift. The ERX1TCD can now also delay or advance its time code output up to 10 frames to accommodate the picture delay that often takes place when video is converted to a different format. The ERX1TCD  can also delay its IFB audio output as well so that both time code and audio will match picture delay in any situation.

Use of the Zax-Net system eliminates the need to periodically jam code to every device on set. It also eliminates the time code drift common to all crystal based time code generators. Time code is always locked to a common generator via RF signal. The ERX1TCD can output any time code rate allowing for generation of different rates from a master generator.

The Zax-net upgrade is available free of charge to all Zax-Net users.

Really KOOL!

+/- .01 frames accuracy is pretty remarkable. What time period does this apply? 8 hours? 12 hours?

To me, even 1 frame in 12 hours is extraordinarily good performance. I think SMPTE's original spec is looser than that.
