Hey,

Anyone know what these cost and exactly what they are called? I am also wondering who sells these. In case you are wondering what I am talking about I just want to monitor the audio and not to have my headphones connected directly to my DVX.

What all the pro directors in Hollywood do.
 
I think you want to get some wireless bluetooth headphones. I would like to get a decent set myself if such a thing exist. I have seen wireless bluetooth headphones from Logitech but I question the quality.

Hi,

I guess my next question is people are not using these what are people doing? Just connecting their headphones into the DVX100 headphones jack?

Pretty much, that's what I do.
 
Wireless headphones are used to hear waht's beeing recorded, but never to actually monitor quality. Wireless just isn't that reliable. A wired connection to the recorder is used for the audio mixer.

Basically either the mixer, or in this case, the camera, has a small FM radio transmitter attached - similar to what you'de use to transmit your iPod to your car, but with longer range.
Then all on set who wish to listen just have a walkman tuned to that frequency.

You could use a combined video-audio transmitter, either UHF (TV band) or microwave (2.4GHz) to send both video and audio from your camera to the director and/or video village.

For those that are curious, it is often possible to hang our near most big budget film sets with a small TV & radio and watch and listen what is beeing shot. Most movies are in fact "made on TV" :)

I've never heard of bluetooth beeing used.

i used to sell these logitech wireless buletooth headsets and let me assure you, there is no quality loss as one would expect with the fm transmitters.

Were not talking aobut a radio wave signal whcih is inconsistant, but a direct blue tooth connection.

only problem is they are expensive...
 
PaPa, very intersting.

What connections do these headsets have? I've been curious if anyone made them with regular audio inputs, I've only ever been able to find USB.

My issue with BT is that it's so limited by range. (and it is still techincally RF)
