ZAXNET (RF)

The time code source menu selects how the transmitter will receive its time code.

• ZAXNET (RF) - The TRXLA5 will receive time code via ZaxNet.

• AUDIO INPUT - The TRXLA3, with a proper cable, will receive time code via the microphone input.

When time code is connected, it takes the TRXLA5 approximately three seconds to recognize the TC. The

screen will display TIME CODE followed by JAM when it is recognized. Please note that when using the

microphone input connector, the audio level of the time code signal needs to be between -30 and -10 dBFS

on the unit’s meter. Any level above -10 may cause clipping, which will prevent proper reading of time code.

TC Jam Mode Select

TC JAM MODE:

AUTO-JAM NORMAL

This menu controls if the TRXLA5 will go into record when it receives a record run time code.

• AUTO-JAM NORMAL - The TRXLA5 will continuously jam time code via ZaxNet and will go into record when

receiving a record command via ZaxNet or if the unit is put into record manually by pressing the CARD and

INC keys simultaneously.

• AUTO-LOAD REC RUN - In Auto-Load mode the TRXLA5will go into record when it detects rolling time code,

and will stop when the time code stops. If time code is lost because the IFB signal is too weak the unit will

not stop but will continue in whatever state it was in until the time code signal is restored.

Mute Time Code Transmission Until Jammed

MUTE TC SEND

UNTIL JAMED: OFF

If the mute time code menu is set to ON the ZaxNet transmitter will not broadcast time code over ZaxNet

until the transmitter receives time code and jams its own internal time code generator. This prevents the

ZaxNet from sending incorrect time code to another device.

Auto Frame Rate Enable

AUTO FRAME RATE

ON (23.98)

When turned ON the TRXLA5 will automatically set its frame rate to the frame rate that is being transmitted

from the ZaxNet transmitter that is feeding the TRXLA3. If auto frame rate is set to OFF the frame rate will

need to be adjusted manually. Please note that auto frame rate will only work when the time code is being

received over ZaxNet and will not work when time code is being received via the audio input.

RECORD MENU

SD Card Format

This menu will only appear if a card was inserted prior to booting up

PRESS UP KEY 5X:

TO ERASE CARD

The Micro SD card is erased and formatted from this menu. Please note that all cards need to be formatted in a

3 series transmitter prior to recording.

Before formatting the card, the transmitter can optionally be renamed (see set up menu). When a transmitter

is named that name is included in the recorded file names. By naming the transmitter it makes it easier to

differentiate files from different recorders, so for example the card can be identified with the talents name, or

any other unique identifier. The card name menu is located at the end of the set up menu. The factory default

name is the transmitter’s serial number.

Partial Format

If the card’s FAT32 file structure gets corrupt while doing a file transfer, and the card is no longer recognized by

the transmitter or by ZaxConvert, a partial format can be done. The partial format rewrites the FAT32 file

structure and leaves the recorded audio untouched. To do a partial format from this menu press the DEC key 9

times “PARTIAL FORMAT” will then be displayed.

Playback Control

Record on boot up allows the onboard recorder to automatically start recording after the transmitter boots up.

• ON - The onboard recorder will automatically start to record after the TRXLA5 boots up.

• OFF - The onboard recorder will wait for a ZaxNet command or a manual record trigger to start recording.

Recording Mode Set

RECORD MODE:

LOOP RECORD

Record mode sets what the recorder will do after the card is full. Regardless of this setting the card can only

record 500 files.

• NON-LOOP RECORD - Once the card is full the recording will stop and FULL will be displayed. This setting

prevents over-writing any portion of the audio.

• LOOP RECORD - Once the card is full, the new audio will begin over-writing the oldest audio on the card.

Low Battery Stop Set

LOW BATT STOP:

NEVER STOP

Low battery stop will set the amount of time, after a low battery warning occurs, the on-board recorder will

close the current file and stop recording.

This is to prevent possible file corruption if the unit constantly powers off and on due to a dead battery.

• NEVER STOP - The onboard recorder will not stop recording unless it is manually stopped by a key press, or

when it receives a stop command via ZaxNet or if the battery dies.

• Any interval from 1 to 99 minutes - Once the battery indicator starts blink a low battery warning the

onboard recorder will continue to record for the time set here - then it will close the file and stop recording.

ZAXNET MENU

ZaxNet Mode

ZAXNET MODE: TX

This menu sets the mode of the ZaxNet transceiver.

• OFF - The ZaxNet transceiver is disabled. The TRXLA5will not receive ZaxNet commands or time code and it

will not send any ZaxNet audio. Please note if ZaxNet mode is set to OFF only the group and unit code menu

will be accessible.

• RX - The ZaxNet transceiver will receive ZaxNet commands and time code.

This screen will display what ZaxNet data is being received by the TRXLA3. Including total received

information packets, ZaxNet TC received and remote control commands received. This information is used

for debugging purposes.

• TX - The ZaxNet transceiver will send ZaxNet confidence audio and time code. Please note that in ZHD48

mode the TRXLA5will not be able to go into transmit mode.

ZaxNet Receive Frequency Set

This menu will only appear if the TRXLA5 is set to receive (RX) mode

RX FREQ : 2.403 RX

SIGNAL : 28

The ZaxNet receive frequency is the frequency that the TRXLA5will get its wireless time code and remote

control commands on. This frequency will need to match the frequency of the corresponding ZaxNet

transmitter. Please keep in mind that the range will be limited when receiving ZaxNet from a TRX or ZFR.

When the TRXLA5is receiving a valid ZaxNet signal the signal strength will be shown as well as signal strength

meter that runs vertically on the far right side of the screen.

ZaxNet Transmit Frequency Set

This menu will only appear if the TRXLA5 is set to transmit (TX) mode

ZAXNET TX FREQ:

2.473

The ZaxNet transmit frequency is the frequency that the ZaxNet transmitter on the TRXLA5 will broadcast time

code and confidence audio on. Please note the ZaxNet transmitted audio is for quality control purposes and the

expected range will be less than 20 feet.

14

Zaxcom TRXLA5 ZaxNet Menu

Group Code Set

REMOTE CONTROL

GROUP CODE = 1

This menu is where the TRXLA5is assigned to a group. The group code allows transmitters to be grouped

together so they can be controlled via ZaxNet without affecting others.

So for example a TRXLA5 set to Group 1 will be controlled by a ZaxNet transmitter set to Group 1 and a

TRXLA5assigned to group 2 will be controlled by a Group 2 ZaxNet transmitter. This is helpful if two or more

people on set are sending ZaxNet commands. Therefore the different group codes allow each person to be

independent and not interfere with each other. Most users leave the group set to 1 on all of their Zaxcom

products. Group codes can be set from 1 to 99.

Unit Code Set

REMOTE CONTROL

UNIT CODE = 001

This menu is where the TRXLA5 is assigned a unit code. The unit code is a unique number used to identify each

TRXLA5within a particular group. This allows individual transmitters within the same group to be independently

controlled. Each transmitter should have a different unit code.

Unit codes can be assigned any number from 1 to 200.

ZaxNet Voting Enable

This menu will only appear if the TRXLA5 is set to receive (RX) mode

ZAXNET VOTING:

NORMAL (OFF)

The purpose of voting is to allow the ZaxNet receiver in the TRXLA5to choose, and switch to, the stronger

signal from two different ZaxNet transmitters. One purpose of this is if on a large set a second IFB transmitter

can be placed at a different location so the ZaxNet receiver in the TRXLA5 can choose the stronger signal.

Please note that the second ZaxNet transmitting frequency must be set 2MHz higher than the first ZaxNet

transmitter.

15

Zaxcom TRXLA5 ZaxNet Menu

ZaxNet Receive Before Transmit Time

RX TO TX TIME:

OFF (NORMAL RX)

Receive only mode.

The ZaxNet transceiver will only receive ZaxNet and NOT go into

transmit mode. Therefore no ZaxNet TC and/or audio will be

transmitted. This setting shuts off the ZaxNet transmitter.

ZAXNET RX TO TX:

0 SEC: TX ONLY

ZAXNET RX TO TX:

20 SEC

Transmit only mode.

The ZaxNet transceiver will only transmit ZaxNet TC and

audio and will NOT receive wireless TC or ZaxNet

commands. This setting shuts off the ZaxNet receiver.

Receive then Transmit mode.

After boot up the ZaxNet transceiver will search for a

ZaxNet signal for the selected time so it can receive and

lock time code before it begins to transmit TC and

confidence audio.

This menu adjusts the state of the ZaxNet transceiver. This also sets how long after boot-up up the

TRXLA5will search for ZaxNet time code before it begins transmitting its audio over ZaxNet for monitoring

purposes. This is so the transmitter can lock to ZaxNet time code source before the unit will send confidence

audio over ZaxNet.

16

Zaxcom TRXLA5 ZaxNet Menu

IFB Receive Pulse Set

This menu will only appear if the TRXLA5 is set to go into transmit in the RX to TX Time menu

ZAXNET RX PULSE:

OFF

The ZaxNet transceiver will stay in transmit mode and never go into

receive mode.

IFB RX PULSE

600 SECS

In this example the ZaxNet transceiver will go out of transmit mode

every 10 minutes. This setting would be used so the TRX could

update its time code while monitoring audio via an ERX receiver.

This menu sets the interval that the ZaxNet transceiver will stop sending confidence audio and search for time

code.

When enabled the pulse setting tells the ZaxNet transceiver to leave ZaxNet transmit mode once every XXX

seconds and go into receive mode so it can re-jam its time code wirelessly via ZaxNet. This setting would be

used so the TRXLA5 could update its time code while monitoring audio via an ERX receiver. Please note when

the ZaxNet transceiver searches for ZaxNet it will temporally go out of transmit mode for approximately 1

second as it searches for ZaxNet time code. The settings are NEVER or any interval between 5 and 999 seconds.

Record Beep Set

This menu will only appear if the TRXLA5 is set to transmit (TX) mode

ZNET RECORD BEEP

OFF

When the record beep is set to ON, and the TRXLA5 is recording, the confidence audio sent to the ERX via

ZaxNet will have an audible beep, in variable intervals, giving conformation that the TRXLA5 is indeed

recording. The beeps will only be heard in the ERX and will not be recorded on the card, or be sent to the UHF

receiver. The intervals can be set between 2 to 18 seconds in 2 second increments.

Zaxcom TRXLA5 Audio Menu

Dynamics

DYNAMICS

The dynamics is a soft knee compressor that is located after the analog to digital converter which will limit

the dynamic range to prevent clipping during occurrences of loud audio. Dynamics is comprised of both a

compressor and an expander, which operate jointly. The compressor in the dynamics can set to mild or

extreme compression and features a soft knee for more transparent operation.

To enter the Dynamics Menu

Press the INC or DEC key - “PARMS” (parameters) will be displayed on the right.

To move to the next parameter, press the MENU key.

To exit this page, hold the MENU key for 1 second.

Dynamics Parameters

• Link L-R: OFF / ON: This links the left and right signal so if one side of the signal needs compressing /

expansion the other side will do the same to match.

• SPEED (Decay Speed) : SLOWEST / SLOW / NORMAL / FAST / FASTEST

Sets how gradual the signal level decreases after a signal reaches the threshold setting. This is typically set

to FAST.

• ATTACK (Attack Speed) : SLOWEST / SLOW / NORMAL / FAST / FASTEST

Sets the speed in how fast the gain is reduced once the signal exceeds the threshold setting. This is typically

set to FAST.

• CMP RATIO (Compressor Ratio): Valid range: 1.0: to 5.0:1, in 0.1 steps.

The amount of gain reduction is determined by the compressor ratio setting.

A compressor ratio for example of 2.0:1 means for every 1 dB above the compressor threshold the gain will

be reduced 2dB. A higher ratio setting makes the compressor more aggressive.

• CMP THRESH (Compressor Threshold): Valid range: 0 to –96dB, in 1dB steps.

This sets the level in which gain reduction occurs.

• CMP KNEE: (Compressor Soft Knee): Valid range: 0 to 20dB, In 1dB steps.

Sets the compressor's soft knee. A soft knee reduces “softens” the audible change from uncompressed to

compressed, this is useful especially for higher ratios where the changeover is more noticeable

• EXP RATIO (Expansion Ratio): Valid range: 1:1.00 to 1:4.00, In 0.01 steps

Sets the expansion ratio. For example a 1:2.0 expansion ratio means for every 1 dB below the expansion

threshold the gain will be reduced 2dB.

• EXP THRESH (Expansion Threshold): Valid range: 0 to –96dB, in 1dB steps.

Sets the threshold above which gain reduction occurs.

• REDUCE (Expander Gain Reduction): Valid range: 0 to –36dB, in 1dB steps.

This sets the limit on the amount of gain reduction caused by the expander.

• GAIN (Make-up Gain): Valid range: 0 to 30dB, In 1dB steps.

Gain is used to compensate for the gain reduction caused by the compressor. Because the compressor is

reducing the gain (or level) of the signal, the ability to add a fixed amount of make-up gain at the output is

provided so that an optimum level can be reached.

Encryption Code Set

ID1: 000 ID2: 000

If an encryption code is set the transmitted audio will be encrypted and can only be listened to if the

receiver has the matching encryption code entered. When receiving an audio signal and the codes do not

match, all that will be heard is white-noise or silence. So if using encryption it is important to make sure

the matching receiver has the same code.

These two sets of numbers are formed into a single six-digit encryption code which provides a total of

16,777,216 possible combinations.

Please note that both of these codes should be set to 000 for normal un-encrypted operations

Zaxcom TRXLA5 Recording Media

Media

While any size card will work in the TRXLA5 transmitter we recommend using a 4GB Micro SD card. We also

recommend only buying a brand name card such as Transcend, SanDisk.

Please note Transcend Premium cards with the red stripe are not recommended.

And very importantly please buy all cards from a reputable dealer because counterfeit cards exist and can

cause recording issues.

We also highly recommend that the all cards are tested before taking them out into the field.

Here is a simple testing procedure to determine if the card will function correctly:

1. Format the card in the transmitter.

2. Power cycle the transmitter.

3. Record at least 20 minutes of audio to the card with no time code source.

4. Look at the Main Screen it should still be recording in segment #1.

5. Playback and listen to the file.

Media Capacity

The TRXLA5 can use Micro SD cards, up to 16 GB. While any size card will work we recommend using 4GB

cards. All cards that are used in the TRXLA5 must be formatted in a 3 series transmitter to work properly,

cards formatted in any other series transmitter will not record properly. Please note that regardless of the

size of the card the onboard recorder will only be able to record up to 500 individual segments on any given

card.

Available recording times will depend on the selected modulation and are as follows:

SD Card

Please note the transmitter will NOT record onto the card if:

• The card was not inserted before the TRX booted up.

• If the card was removed while the power was on.

• If LOW BATTERY is being displayed.

Recording Format

The media card is formatted using a FAT32 file system. While recording, the unit places all recorded audio in a

single file on the media. The files generated by the recorder (.zax format) can only be recognized by Zaxcom’s

ZaxConvert program. Using ZaxConvert will transfer the file to a Broadcast Wave or MP3 file. ZaxConvert is

available to anyone for free from the Zaxcom website http://www.zaxcom.com/firmware-updates

Zaxcom TRXLA5 Firmware

Firmware

Each unit is shipped with the latest firmware version installed. As newer firmware becomes available it can be

downloaded from the Zaxcom website:

http://www.zaxcom.com/firmware-updates

Newer version of beta firmware may be found on the Zaxcom Forums:

http://www.zaxcom.com/forum

It is recommended to keep a copy of the “SNXXXX.ME” file for each transmitter. The SNXXXX.ME file contains the

setup parameters of that specific transmitter - so in the event that there is a problem with the transmitter and the

settings get corrupt the SNXXXX.ME file can be used to recreate the setting for that transmitter. To copy and save

the SNXXXX.ME files simply format a card in each transmitter then copy and archive the SNXXXX.ME files to a

computer.

Updating the TRXLA5 firmware

1. Format a micro SD card in the transmitter.

2. Remove the card and with a computer delete the “SNXXXX.ME” file.

3. Download the TRX firmware “THD-XXX.bin” from the Zaxcom website and copy it onto the formatted card.

4. Power down the TRXLA5 and insert the card into the transmitter.

5. Simultaneously hold down the INC and DEC keys while powering up the unit.

6. The screen will display “BURN ROM” with the version of firmware that is loading.

WARNING: Before updating the firmware be sure to insert a fresh set of batteries and do not power down the unit

during the update process, if the unit should lose power during the upgrade, it may need to be sent back to

Zaxcom for repair.

Updating ERX firmware with a TRX transmitter

1. From the ZaxNet menu set ZaxNet mode to transmit (TX).

2. Check that the ERX is set to the same ZaxNet frequency that the TRX is set to transmit on. Check that the

GROUP ID is set the same in both the TRX and ERX, and make sure encryption is shut off.

3. Format a micro SD card in TRX transmitter.

4. Remove the card, and with a computer delete the “SNXXXX.ME” file.

5. Download the ERX firmware “ERX-XXX.bin” from the Zaxcom website and copy it onto the formatted card.
