It adds the noise as soon as any cable is plugged in. This is true with no mic hooked up, a shotgun mic, sennheiser wireless receiver, riggy assist pre-amp, or just a cable. The level starts the second a TRS is plugged in.

I got the camera two weeks ago, and according to my software, the firmware is up to date. I have to assume it’s on 1.3. I have studied the problem a bit more since my first post. It really doesn’t harm your audio at all, seemingly. Whatever the frequency of the sound is, it’s below 31hz, and can be lessened by EQ. When you adjust gain levels in camera, it does slightly affect the levels, but it won’t go away until you go completely zero level. This is ONLY with TRS, and it definitely shows up via Thunderbolt connection, SDI OUT, and on the recordings in ProRes, and RAW. You don’t hear it through headphones, and I still don’t see it in any waveforms, but it’s level shows up, even in audition. I am no audio guy, I can’t precisely figure out the frequency of the sound. It looks on a meter, so consistent, like TONE being put in. When you switch to LINE level, it changes the level a few db, but it’s still there. I have done this with several cables, a juicedlink riggy assist pre-amp, and plugging directly to the mics themselves, and the same problem occurs. It’s biggest problem is that it hides the level of sound as you see it. So proper audio levels on set can’t really be accomplished, which is frustrating. I would assume as well, it would mess with level meters on NLE’s as well, showing a constant level. Not sure though, I haven’t loaded any of the affected footage into an editor. Even when it’s opened in QT7, it’s showing up.

I assume I am on 1.3 Firmware. Not really clear how to check it. Forgive my ignorance, JUST got this camera, and had studied far more on the video end of it, prior to today. Thank you for your quick response and great insight! Gonna start reading it right now!!!

I May have successfully answered my own question. I Deleted all Project Render Files under “File” menu, and re-exported it, and it worked.

Definitely gonna give that a try, Gerald. Heck, if just one of these machines will work, I will be happy!

That did it! Thank you!

Kris, This worked wonderfully! I created a new project, and chose a BlackMagic Design format, and there it was. Working great! Thank YOU!!!!

Premiere was upgraded from 5.5 at the same time on the MacPro, and the CS6 install on the laptop was all new, at the same time.

Thank YOU! I have the UltraStudio Express, it’s the SDI with Thunderbolt. I will try the sequence test! The AJA plugin for Premiere, that’s good info! Thank you for the help!!!
