Yes, on the side of the NX5 where the audio settings are, set the top left switch to Input1 and set the bottom left switch to Input2. This will set the XLR ports to use one for Left and one for Right.
In Premiere Pro CS5 (don’t know about the older versions)
Make sure that your recorded clip is in your project panel and “not” on the timeline yet.
Right click on your clip, select Modify and Audio Channels.
Select MONO and select OK
Now add this clip to your timeline, your audio will be separated and each channel will be on it’s own mono track (below the stero tracks).—

I have to think that I am using CatDV as most anyone would who has a computer and laptop…
However wit that said, I have come to the following conclusion.CatDV will not run properly over a network if ANY of the files are native.
I have used as free tool called Handbreak and I have created CatDV versions of absolutely every clip I have recorded. These are now 320×240 at 1200kbps and CatDV seems to only crash occasionally.
Also, I am having to copy catalog files from laptop to desktop each time I am done…
Yes all this work seems excessive and it truly a pain int he ass, but right now seems to be my only choice?
I am looking into Lightroom this weekend and see if it will meet my needs? I’m pretty done with CatDV for now…

The performance is fine – it’s saving (or auto-saving) when the cat file is on a network drive that is the issue. For instance – I open a catalog (2.8mb) on a network drive, made a Note change ans saved – it took over a minute to save the file?
Right now all I have is MOV files – some mine and some stock footage – but over the network, they are very jittery, or stop and lock CatDV altogether.
Here is something to note – I work over the network all the time. I take photos and open them in my photo editor, edit them right from the network. And these are 15-20mb raw NEF files?
Also, I can play the video files across the network just fine and I can edit them in Premiere Pro without having t move them either.
I’m not worried about the mt2 files – I’ll deal with that later, however, I cannot use the wrapper you mentioned as it is for a mac only and I am on a PC.

Ok, let’s see if I can answer your questions:
1. My server and desktop are both in my Studio and my laptop in my home. All on the same property and all connected to a Gigabit network. When I am in the studio, I am on the desktop and doing my work. When up n my home – I am on the laptop. Having separate catalogs would require synchronization, of which I am now doping throgh the Dropbox Cloud.
But this does not solve the issue with clips that normally play fine over the network – not playing in CatDV’s player?
2. As fr .mt2 files – I know these will not play nativally in CatDV – while frustrating, I have MOV copies of them created just for CatDV – of which will not play across the network.
Additionally – I am seeing sppeds of 40-45MB/sec across the network – plenty for watching video files.

Looks great, but it’s for Mac and I am PC…
Thanks for the post, though…

So I just finished ripping through 526 EX3 files using HandBreak.
I converted them all at full res to .m4v that my NLE’s can read, and then all of them to 1280×720 form my iPad.
It was pretty simple, and hands-free. The only issues I encountered was when HB could not write the log file for some reason, and all I had to do was hit OK a couple of time.All in all – it was really easy.
