Hi there

Ok thanks.. it is a stereo player.So does the TC come direct from TC out of the camera.. I guess it must?

Is a Y cable a 2 mini plug cable into one? I dont think I can get mic level out from the mixer,unless I change the whole output level to mic.. so it going to give me mic level to the camera also… isnt line level better.. I always have it set to line.?

So the audio and the TC automatically go to separate channels through the mic in of the MP3 player?

Thanks again for the info!

what do you charge for the MP3 recording and up load etc?

Thanks

Ok thanks for your reply..

Who makes the Zoom H4? … so its impossible on a regular consumer MP3 player? do you take the TC from the camera?

Thanks

I do work with local sound guys.. but they dont know how to do this.. but thanks for the info ..

[Robin Probyn]

Sorry I dont know too much..Iam actually the camera guy,but the sound gear is mine,and the sound people I know have no idea how to do this.

I just have the camera and the mixer,and a consumer,but fairly good,MP3 player.. no TC reader etc.. to be honest if its a hassle Iam ready to just say I cant do it.

Is this something that wold be considered normal in the US,and that every sound person should be able to supply.Another poster said it couldnt be done when he tried.. I dont want to be the grumpy guy..but work conditions are generally getting worse ie 6 day shoots becoming 4 days.. that Iam not really sure I want extra futzzing around with more cables/gear than needed. to save the prod co a few more bucks 🙂

Thanks!

so when I down load the file into a computer.. how do I see the TC?

Thanks

Its a Japanese one made by Sigma, 302,they sell in the US under the Kame name.. sort of standard one in Japan..good mixer..

But dont know if the TC would come out from the miniplug .. is there such a cable as BNC to mini..and would that work from TC out?

Could I take audio from mixer..TC from camera… into a Y connector into the MP3 player… sorry if this is totally mad.!!!

[Robin Probyn]

This mixer has a mini plug out for A channel and B channel… besides the usual XLR out.I can change the out put from line to mic but then my main XLR out sound will change to that level also.. but I want to keep the sound going onto tape as line level out from the mixer.

No idea how the TC would be got from this miniplug out,or I would need a BNC to mini plug from TC out from the camera? I can see why people want it,but what did they do before MP3 players and broadband?

Thanks again

[Robin Probyn]

Thanks for the replies.

At the end of the day it sounds like a hassle,and with all the other hassles I just dont need it 🙂

Is this a common request?

Thanks

Robin

Ok thanks… just thought I,d ask as I just bought an HDX900….. I rented an HDX900 a while back and couldnt get the zebra,s to work either.. maybe the same problem.. it drove me mad at the time trying to work out why I couldnt get them to work..

Havnt even checked my new camera… I only use zebra,s set for 100%..

Thanks
