ZaxNet Enable
•
ON
- The ZaxNet transmitter module is turned on and Nova can transmit audio, time code and wireless
transmitter commands. Please note, be sure to attach a ZaxNet antenna whenever the module is turned
on. If not, RF can potentially leak into the microphone preamps.
•
OFF
- The ZaxNet transmitter module is turned off and power is saved.
TX Channel
This is the frequency that the ZaxNet transmitter in Nova will use to transmit IFB audio, time code and ZaxNet
commands on. The ZaxNet frequency range is from 2.403 GHz to 2.475 GHz. All ERX receiver and transmitters
receiving ZaxNet commands from Nova will need to be set to this frequency.
IFB Audio Source
This selects which output bus will be transmitted over ZaxNet to the ERX receiver(s).
Group Code
This is where the ZaxNet group code for Nova’s ZaxNet transmitter is set. ZaxNet uses group codes to allow a
specific “group” of transmitters to be controlled. For example, setting the group code to 1 allows Nova to
control all group 1 transmitters. Setting it to 2 allows all group 2 transmitters to be controlled. Group codes
can be set from 1 to 99. Please see the transmitter manual for setting the group code in the transmitter.
TX Power
TX power adjusts the output power level of the ZaxNet transmitter. The power range is 0 through 7 with 7
being the highest.
Transport Commands
•
SLAVED
- Zaxcom wireless transmitters that are being controlled via ZaxNet will start/stop recording each
time Nova starts/stops recording.
•
OFF
- The record status of Nova will have no effect on the internal recorder in the transmitter.
Power-Roll Mode
Power-Roll allows the transmitter(s) that are being controlled via ZaxNet to increase the output power
setting when Nova goes into record, and decrease to a lower power setting when recording stops. By
decreasing the power level when not recording allows the transmitter to conserve battery power. To use
POWER-ROLL the transmitter POWER ROLL setting must be set to “DEVA TRIGGER”. The transmitters can also
manually be adjusted by switching between the LOW and HIGH settings.
•
ALWAYS LOW
- The transmitter will run at the low power setting.
•
DYNAMIC -
The transmitter will run at low power when Nova is not recording and automatically go into
high power when Nova goes into record. Please note power roll needs to be enabled on the transmitter(s).
Please see the transmitter manual for further information on enabling power roll.
•
ALWAYS HIGH -
The transmitter will always be run at the high power setting.
