Zaxcom ERX3TCD Encrypted IFB & TC Receiver
The updated Zaxcom ERX3TCD Encrypted IFB & TC Receiver features an OLED display, locking headphone connector and a practically unbreakable rubber volume knob. It receives high quality encrypted digital audio and timecode from any ZaxNet source. The OLED display shows timecode, user bits, current Scene and Take metadata in real-time with a hold button to freeze the display.
An adjustable delay can be set to match audio to monitors with various video lag due to video signal processing.
Mounted on a camera or slate the ERX3TCD can provide frame-accurate timecode with no drift since it is constantly receiving and updating its timecode from the source.
There is also a 1kHz notch filter to eliminate the transmission of tone that is sometimes sent from the mixing console. The notch filter frequency is adjustable and using it won’t affect the quality of your IFB audio.
ZAXNET
All Zaxcom mixer/recorders recorders, TRX recording transmitters, ZFR miniature recorders, ERX receivers and, QRX receivers with QIFB option feature fully functional timecode readers and generators.
The timecode reader in each of these units will allow it receive external timecode that the unit will lock to. Zaxcom mixers/recorders and QRX receivers also allow you to enter in your own timecode manually.
After inputting, or locking to, an external timecode signal the timecode generator will now take over and generate it own frame accurate timecode. The timecode generator in all of Zaxcom products, with the exception of the ERX, are very stable and use TCXO temperature compensated crystal oscillators that give a clock accuracy of 1.54 PPM which equates to 1 frame out in 6 hours. In the case of the ERX an TCXO chip is not necessary since it is constantly updating its timecode from the source All products can read and generate all standard SMPTE timecode frame-rates: 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97NDF, 29.97DF, 30NDF, 30DF.
AUDIO
Monitor high quality audio anywhere on set or mount your ERX on a camera to feed an audio scratch track.
DELAY
Grumpy director at Video Village? No problem… with an ERX you can delay the audio up to 12 frames to match their picture.
TIMECODE
Mount on a camera or digital slate to jam frame accurate timecode wirelessly. The ERX will constantly re-jam time code from any ZaxNet transmitter so you will never experience any drift.

Digital Encryption
Traditional FM wireless audio can be hacked into and listened to by any commercially available scanner. In some situations this isn’t an issue, but there are times where privacy is necessary. For example paparazzi with an inexpensive device can listen in on your set. Or in the case of some corporate settings where there may be sensitive or legal matters discussed and you want to ensure that you have maximum privacy.
Zaxcom wireless systems, both the UHF transmission as well as audio sent via ZaxNet, features full digital audio encryption. Digital encryption is the only way to keep all audio transmission private.
The way it works is if you set an encryption code the transmitter, the audio will be encrypted and can only be listened to if the receiver has the matching encryption code entered. If you are trying to receive an audio signal and the codes do not match, all that will be heard is white-noise or silence.
Zaxcom’s encryption system features two sets of three numbers that form a single six-digit encryption code; this provides a total of 16,777,216 possible code combinations. So when using Zaxcom digital encryption you can ensure that your audio will only be heard by those who you want to hear it.
