Chapter 3______________________________________________________Zaxcom Fusion User's Manual
ZaxNet setup
ZaxNet only requires a hardware connection from the timecode output of the Deva/Fusion to the timecode input
of the IFB100 transmitter. The IFB transmitter must be set to a unique Group ID that matches the Group ID in
the wireless transmitters.
Each wireless transmitter in the ZaxNet system must have a unique Unit ID. The Unit ID associates the
transmitter with the matching input on the recorder that the receiver for that transmitter is connected to. For
example, a receiver that is listening to a transmitter with ID code #4 will be connected to analog input number 4
on the recorder and will be controlled by fader #4 on a Mix-12 or Mix-8. The recorder‟s analog inputs use Unit
IDs 1 – 8 and digital inputs use Unit IDs 9 – 16. If a Deva-16 or Fusion-12 is used, line inputs 1 – 4 use Unit IDs 9
– 12.
The transmitter‟s Group ID must match the IFB100‟s Group ID. See the Wireless User Manual for the Group ID
and Unit ID parameters.
Each wireless transmitter must have a MiniSD card installed and must have the recording option enabled for the
ZaxNet system to control the recorder that is integrated into the transmitter.
Transmitter gain setup
The microphone pre-amp gain of the TRX series transmitters can be remotely controlled from either the
recorder‟s faders or from the trimmers on the Mix-12 or Mix-8.
To control the wireless gain from the trimmers on the Mix-12 or Mix-8, enter the
Inputs selected)
whether the trimmer on the mixer controls the transmitter input gain (Tx ZaxNet) or the Deva/Fusion pre-amp
for the channel (Normal):
Tx ZaxNet – the on-screen graphic trimmer in the
Normal
To control the transmitter‟s pre-amp gain from the recorder‟s faders, select the
the Fader Assign button. Press the Fader button to change it to ZaxNet Trim. Pressing a cross-point will route
the transmitter‟s pre-amp gain to the hardware fader on the recorder. Any hardware fader can control any of the
transmitters. Multiple transmitters can be assigned to a single pot. Master faders are not allowed in this mode.
A transmitter cannot be assigned to a recorder‟s fader and a Mix-12/Mix-8 fader at the same time. The last
assignment will automatically disable the assignment from the other device.
If the transmitter gain is under remote control it cannot be controlled locally until the wireless transmitter is out
of range of the IFB signal, the IFB signal is shut down or the recorder is on the

The ZaxNet signal is embedded in the timecode output of the recorder. Enabling ZaxNet starts the commands
flowing to the IFB transmitter through its timecode input.

to the Deva/Fusion, the wireless record / stop function will be in sync with the Deva/Fusion. This is desirable if
Actor privacy is the most important concern. If the wireless transport is not slaved to the Deva/Fusion, the
wireless will be in record mode all of the time. This is the safest way to use ZaxNet as the wireless will back up
the audio even if the Deva/Fusion does not go into record. If the system is not slaved, the IFB transmitter must be
used to restart wireless recording if the wireless is required to replay audio. If the slave mode is enabled, the
wireless will go into record each time the Deva/Fusion goes into record.
Note that the IFB100‟s Pacifier page has 4 transport modes selectable by the UP or DOWN key: PLAY, STOP,
REC and "----". The "----" mode allows the TRX and/or Deva to adjust the transport mode in whatever way might
be appropriate. Otherwise the IFB will try to force a specific transport mode. When forcing the units to go back
