Hey guys anyone else having issues with the Preston dropping out whilst on the Sony Venice. ? my hand unit would always say no signal so I would have to pull the power off the mdr and reboot and it would come back on. Sometimes whilst we were rolling also. I did a firmware upgrade on all my devices still the same issue.
After a work around I added 2 power sources to the mdr 3. 2pin to d-tap from the onboard battery, power roll cable onto the wooden camera cheese plate and it seemed to do the job. im dreading my next Sony Venice job as they seem to be growing popularity here in South Africa.
The Venice RS port just isn't powerful enough. Adding an extra power line will solve the issue. For consistency I often add an extra power cable no matter the camera
Which RS plug are you plugging your MDR in? I know that the front one is limited to 1amp (correct me if i'm wrong) so it is best to pair it with a lemo2 - Dtap power if used. I personally always roll with the wooden camera Dbox and don't seem to have any issues with the mdr 3/4.
Yes. Charles-Antoine is right. The max power output of the Sony`s RS is one amp. Won`t be enough most of the times. If you add a Dtap, it should be fine.
