Pax gear

[John G]

I am looking for all of the following

SAV adapters 3430 qty 3

Pax Leica adapter 3436 qty 12

Tascam remote cable 3427 & 3460

I'm trying to build up a system to replace my Imatronic SX4000 12 projector dissolve control

I already have the 3 pax units, a transpax &  a smartpax QC                                

if anyone can help or give some advice on what else I may need, I'd really appreciate it. I'm in Perth WA

Regards John

PS. Has anyone had any experience of the Soundpax unit?

Has anyone had any experience of the Soundpax unit

Yes; it never really existed ;-). It was more of a concept, based on a Pioneer car stereo deck, if I remember correctly. That deck went out of production before we got around building a product around it.

 Thanks for the reply about the Soundpax it was pictured in  one of my catalogues as item 3338.

If anyone is interested attached are scans from the catalogue

Mike, thanks for sharing the story. John G, thanks for sharing the data sheet. 

Appears the SOUNDPAX could be seen as a Dataton one-up on the AVL ProTravler (which had an 8 year production run).  

A PAX and audio bundle with no System data input? (ie to bypass the audio system and use the PAX when programming from a computer (MICSOFT or TRAX). There is a System data output.

Noticed an analog audio CUE TRACK jack, would make sense as an output. But the screening on the back of the prototype would imply its an input to drive the PAX. 

This must have been an 80s era exercise. My close experience with Dataton goes back to 1990 and i don’t recall seeing that cut sheet.

That's were the Hucht Copy Encoder/Decoder came in place a few years later which enabled to encode a CD to carry the control code in the LSB of the audio data. Not sold that often but very handy indeed.

I also read the request for PAX gear and can check what I have in my huge "PAX and friends" storage but since I'm a few continents further west it might be easier if you track something down-under.

Thanks for the replies regarding the date it probably was early in the 80's the catalogue is undated, however the computers illustrated were Apple and the micsoft disk was version 2.1

The 1986 catalogue doesn't mention the soundpax at all.

Yes it would be nice to get the bits I need from here but so far no response at all.

Best wishes to all for the New Year

As I recall, Barry Fluster at Media Fabricators used to have a pretty good stash of all things Trax.  When we sold our building and cleaned off the shelves, we sent all of our Trax gear down to him.  That was about 3 years ago, I haven't heard from him since then.  http://www.mediafab.com

Does anyone have a copy of the Micsoft6 supplement disk?

My copy of Micsoft6 is missing the supplement which has the Read & Write programs and all documentation on it.
