Overview
The Zaxcom ZFR (Zaxcom Flash Recorder) is the same size as Zaxcom wireless transmitter and can accept
standard lavaliere microphones. A stereo ZFR can accept two lavaliere microphones, two unbalanced
The ZFR can be used as an easy way to record ISO tracks on multiple talent with no fears of being out of
range or having to deal with RF issues.
On power up the ZRF will jam time code via the ZaxNet 2.4Ghz signal and will then start transmitting QC
audio with time code within 10 seconds. ZaxNet transmission from the ZFR allows audio to be
monitored for quality control. The ZaxNet signal is used for quality control and can be used as a
timecode master to wirelessly jam other recording body pack recorders or recording wireless
transmitters. The Body packs can optionally re-jam time code every few minutes to maintain sub-frame
accurate time code lock. At the end of your shoot you gather each SD memory card from the ZFR and
deliver them to post.
Post production can then easily drop each ISO track into their non-linear edit system and have a clean
timecoded audio track to work with.
Recording systems can be as simple as a single ZFR recorder and a single ERX2TCD receiver to wirelessly
monitor the audio and time code from the recorder. Any number of ZFR recorders and wireless
transmitters can be utilized to form an unlimited virtual multi-track recording system. The advantage of
this system is that for production sound it eliminates the limitations of wireless microphones. No longer
will FM wireless audio quality, coverage area, RF interference, and the limitations of multiple channels
of wireless used together limit the ability of a sound mixer to achieve audio quality usually found only in
a studio setting.
