Quick Start Guide:
Interfacing Your ERX-TCD with a Nomad
1. In the main menu of Nomad select ZaxNet Setup
2. Scroll down and select Input Configure. Make sure that the input configure is set to 8 or higher. Press the
back button and return to the ZaxNet Setup Menu.
3. Power cycle your Nomad
4. Return to the ZaxNet setup menu scroll up and select IFB Mode. Make sure that it is set to TX or TX+RX
5. Scroll down and select your transmit channel and choose which frequency you’d like to transmit on.
6. Scroll down to Group Code and choose a number. Unless you’re using multiple Zaxcom IFB transmitters,
you can just leave this set to 1.
7. Turn your ERX-TCD while holding the Menu button on the ERX-TCD. This will take you to the Extended
Menu.
8. Advance to the Timecode Frame-rate menu and set the frame rate to the same frame rate that Nomad is
set to.
9. Press menu again to enter the IFB Frequency
Menu. Make sure that the frequency is the same as the
frequency you selected in the ZaxNet Setup menu of your Nomad. If the ERX-TCD is receiving a good
signal, you should see two bars on the right hand side of the screen which is displaying the signal
strength.
10. Advance to the Timecode Output Enable menu. If you’re using the ERX-TCD as an IFB for a director or
script supervisor, leave the timecode output set to OFF. If you’d like to use the ERX-TCD to send timecode
and audio or just timecode to a camera, select OUT LEFT TIP, OUT RIGHT or BOTH depending what you
want to send and how your cable is wired. If the camera has trouble receiving timecode, proceeded until
you get to the TC OUTPUT LEVEL menu. Increase the voltage until the camera recognizes the timecode.
11. On your Nomad go to the BUS MENU and select TAPE / IFB Out and select what you’d like to send
to the ERX-TCD. You can use any combination of card tracks, outputs or returns.
Tip: There are several smart phone apps which will scan what WiFi frequencies are being used in your
area. This can be useful in selecting a clear frequency.
