ZFR Overview

The Zaxcom ZFR (Zaxcom Flash Recorder) is a small recorder that is the same size as Zaxcom wireless
transmitter, and can accept standard lavaliere microphones. A stereo ZFR can accept two lavaliere
microphones.
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.
The ZFR can be set that after power up it will jam time code via ZaxNet and will then start transmitting QC
audio with time code within 10 seconds. ZaxNet transmission from the ZFR allows audio to be monitored in
close range. The ZaxNet signal can be used to quickly determine how the audio sounds, and can be used as
a time code 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 time
coded 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 can be utilized to form
an unlimited virtual multi-track recording system. The advantage of this system is that it eliminates the
limitations of wireless microphones. No longer will FM wireless audio quality, range, or RF interference,
limit the ability of a sound mixer to achieve audio quality usually found only in a studio setting.
