1. Audio In Connector - TA5M This connector will be used to input both analog and digital audio. Analog audio is two channels balanced line level. • Digital audio is an AES pair. • 2. Audio Out - 3.5mm (summed to mono on tip of a TRS) When in playback the playback audio from the card will be outputted.
• PLAY - TRX playback commands will be sent. Please note that this is the order of the commands as they appear in the IFB200. So for example to go from REC to PLAY you would need to press the DEC key 3 times and to go from PLAY to STOP you would need to press the INC key once.
TRX the internal recorder will go into record as well. The IFB200 will boot up to “- - - -“ mode where no command is being sent. Press INC you will see REC displayed and a record command will be sent to the TRX and put the internal recorder into record mode. To stop, press the DEC key twice.
Please note that If the unit code is changed pressing the MENU key will navigate back to the Remote Gain Menu. If no changes are made to the unit code pressing the MENU key will advance the IFB200 to the next menu item.
STANDBY the TRX, when powered up, will remain in standby mode until it receives the wake command from the IFB200 to wake it. Once the TRX is awoken the only way the TRX will go back into this mode is with a power cycle.
Once you have reduced the TRX power to Low 2 you can power down your TRX900CL. Once you power up the IFB200 all TRX’s being controlled will automatically come up to full power since after a power cycle the IFB200 will always boot up to the 0 Power setting.

Zaxcom IFB200 Extended Menu If this is set to ON and you start recording on the IFB200 all TRX transmitters that are being controlled via ZaxNet from the IFB200 will begin to roll. Power Roll POWER ROLL: Power Roll allows a TRX transmitter to stay at lower transmit power setting to conserve battery power. Then when you begin to record the transmitter will increase its output power.

The Micro SD card is erased and formatted from this menu. Please note that even though many cards are sold preformatted, you must format the card in the IFB200 prior to any recording. Only cards formatted in the TRX will work properly.
In this mode the IFB200 will go into record mode when it detects rolling time code. And will stop when the time code stops. If time code is lost the unit will not stop but will continue in whatever state it was in until the time code signal is restored.
REMOTE CONTROL GROUP CODE = 1 This menu allows you to set your IFB200 to a ZaxNet “GROUP.” This is the group code that the IFB200 is controlled in – not what group the IFB200 is controlling. Group ID lets you set your IFB200 to a “GROUP” that will be controlled via ZaxNet.
