The way to fix lens spots is to use a defect map.

I describe how to use it in this forum post:

I just wanted to point out that the little AT 9904 mic,
according to the posted specs, is an electret condenser,
so no need for phantom. That and the H2 for about $250? Not bad!

Also, for a short cable run from mic to H2,
hum and noise probably won’t be a problem,
since you are floating compared to the rest of the world.

Might be worth dealing with a little drift,
especially if the takes are short.

Thanks for the info. Yes, both the Dave Jones unit and the Adam-McBride unit
look like real problem solvers for this type of work.

Not quite. I’m used to sending MIDI to a lighting board to advance cues.

So what is the master sync? Do you run both the Adam-McBride and the Cue Server
off one NTSC sync generator? Or is there a master SMPTE generator?
Or does the Adam-McBride output SMPTE that the Cue Server slaves to?

Is the Cue Server hardware or software? Does it combine SMPTE and the Cue List (what
format?) to send DMX to the lighting board? I can’t seem to find Cue Server with Google.

Sorry to be so clueless, but I find this technique quite interesting, and I like to understand
the different ways people have resolved these issues.

Thanks for your time!
