hello ! great video and great product overall ! I would like to ask a question , why theo 100mw output is not available outside of USA ? As stated in your website
Question!? People are saying you can’t transmit and record simultaneously in the US because of a patent thing. I can’t figure out what transmitting and recording is actually doing as I am new to uhf recordings but am wanting to get into audio. Can someone explain it to me please. I was hoping to have it plugged in my camera and then have the audio baked in. But also have a back up of 32bit recording saved to the memory card on the unit. Will that not work because of the patent laws? Is there a way around that limitation if you use other equipment?
This will totally work as long as you're not in the United States. Without hacking the firmware or hacking your GPS to get a different region it looks like it's firmware locked. Theoretically when the patent expires they could send an update. The idea is that if for any reason the wireless audio signal from the microphone to the receiver where to cut out ruining your recording on the camera /ex recorder the inbuilt recorder would have a backup copy of everything. Unfortunately due to a patent troll in my opinion there is a company I want to say Zacks Com that thinks that this is their proprietary right ( since you can literally patent everything including things that really shouldn't be patentable these days and get a certain judge to defend you ) and in this case they own the right to have a device that both records and transmits. I believe this also covers the ability to use the audio output on some devices like mini recorders well it is recording if I'm remembering this right I remember seeing some devices that turn off the audio output when used with US firmware/variant hardware.
Unfortunately a firmware will not fix the issue. Deity on these comments stated that the devices are physically different from the US version to foreign versions, therefore making the US version not be able to record and transmit at the same time permanent.@@imark7777777
We use a sony A7siii and want to use the timecode as a back up. Will the receiver send the timecode data into one channel through the 3.5 input on the camera and then the audio through the other channel?
Hi Deity! Just got mine. When attached to a sony mirrorless camera with included cable, only left channel has audio. How to have both left and right channel audio using just 1 transmitter?
Hello! Just got my Deity Theos today. Problem is it only receives input thru channel A on the left channel with my Sony mirrorless camera. But seeing your video, both left and right channel receives input. How do I make this stereo? Thanks!
If you have two sets of Theos or more within range when you go to pair the DBTXs to the D2BXs how do they know which to pair to? Also if a DBTX falls out of range of the D2RX and then goes back in range will it re-auto pair?
Love the product! Would be awesome if you could pay to unlock sim record and transmit like you do for some camera codec specs. I so wish I could do both or that the unit would auto record if it knew there was a drop in RF.
Any chance that one of the two outputs on the RX can be used to output timecode so we don't need an additional timecode box on the camera when the unit used mounted to the camera for onemanband shooters? or would that just be limiting sales of the TC1?
Amazing! I pre-ordered :) Question - Is the US Model different when it comes to the hardware that allows it to transmit and record at the same time? I know the feature is disabled due to the patent, but I wonder if it could be enabled in the future via a firmware update if things were to change.
@@DeityMicrophones what happens in the future then? Will it be able to back up and record when the patent goes away? Because you said in the video that it changes when you go to a different country automatically so wouldn’t this make it work? Or will that not be the case?
Is it a firmware difference with the same hardware or is there an actual hardware difference defeating the universal equipment for all regions. Looks like a different antenna ships based on different region. So I'm thinking it's a firmware limitation that hopefully will get updated by the time the patent expires in the year 4023 @@DeityMicrophones

Sounds like you want to be able to connect the receiver to the iPhone and use that as the recorder? The unit comes with a USB type C to type C cable and most of their previous models from my understanding and this one supports the generic USB audio codec says the device can show up as an audio interface which is compatible with the ios. And now that Apple has moved to USB-C, a C-C cable we'll connect one to the other. This can also be accomplished with USB camera adapter for lightning devices.
12:57 is the audio recorder limitation while transmitting a hardware limitation or software? If I travel to another country like South America, would I have access to that feature since the patent doesn’t apply there?
Units sold in the USA and/or operated inside the USA can not transmit and record. So if you bought a US Model and took it to South America, it was still a unit sold in the USA.
@@DeityMicrophones So when I take a non-US unit to the US and operate it there it will disable the feature? Will it be re-enabled once the unit leaves the country?
Yes you can. The DBTX can receive TC via the mic input. Simple plug in your tc source, go to the tc menu, and select jam to sync. Now you can replace your tc source with a lav mic and you're good to go.

@@imark7777777 Thanks for your explanation. I was thinking that it had to be something along those lines and not an FCC restriction. But it's strange that Rode, DJI, Hollyland etc. can record and transmit on their systems. I guess one being 2.4ghz and the other being UHF makes the difference to those holding the patents.
@@bentonpix I also know a few manufacturers have bowed down and licensed the patent. But there are some definite weird situations where you would think it applies and it doesn't.
Technically this is a copy of a few other higher-end transmitters. One of those companies owns a patent which is why this can't record and transmit. The older BPTRX can do all of this and backup record at the same time, it was just 2.4 band and 24 bit.
@@kyleranney that’s unfortunate, smh. I was hoping they’d have the patent extended to these new units. 32bit-float, timecode and simultaneous backup record/transmit is the perfect combo. Especially, for live streaming a wedding and having the audio available later to create your film. Wish they didn’t discontinue the old units.
@@ImaGenesisBaby they must not have had the patent conflict on the 2.4 units. I mean I would pay another grand for that feature. The next level up to a system that would is a Zaxcom, Wisycom or Sound Devices. Just those transmitters are $2k and you're looking at $6-10k fir the same system. It's a shame that these companies can own a patent on something like internal record and transmit. It must be only for UHF band, because I doubt the Rode Wireless Go and DJI mic can pay out for the license. IDK maybe they can since they are selling so many more units.
@@kyleranney exactly! I’d be willing to pay more for that. It’d be the perfect unit. If I can remember, I think Deity would’ve been the first to company in the US to reach an agreement with Zaxcom for the patent. So, Rode probably is doing something different, lending them to have cheaper devices.

Unfortunately due to a patent troll in my opinion there is a company I want to say Zacks Com that thinks that this is their proprietary right ( since you can literally patent everything including things that really shouldn't be patentable these days and get a certain judge to defend you ) and in this case they own the right to have a device that both records and transmits. I believe this also covers the ability to use the audio output on some devices like mini recorders well it is recording if I'm remembering this right I remember seeing some devices that turn off the audio output when used with US firmware/variant hardware.
Just saw a lovely comment about a mouse trap patent being vague.
@@imark7777777 Thanks for your explanation. I was thinking that it had to be something along those lines and not an FCC restriction. But it's strange that Rode, DJI, Hollyland etc. can record and transmit on their systems. I guess one being 2.4ghz and the other being UHF makes the difference to those holding the patents.
@@bentonpix I also know a few manufacturers have bowed down and licensed the patent. But there are some definite weird situations where you would think it applies and it doesn't.
And Apple says they can't do replaceable batteries!
Please tell Andrew to send those to Allen Williams for a review soon as possible.

I feel like after this is released, everyone else is gonna be forced to copy it.
Technically this is a copy of a few other higher-end transmitters. One of those companies owns a patent which is why this can't record and transmit. The older BPTRX can do all of this and backup record at the same time, it was just 2.4 band and 24 bit.
@@kyleranney that’s unfortunate, smh. I was hoping they’d have the patent extended to these new units. 32bit-float, timecode and simultaneous backup record/transmit is the perfect combo. Especially, for live streaming a wedding and having the audio available later to create your film. Wish they didn’t discontinue the old units.
@@ImaGenesisBaby they must not have had the patent conflict on the 2.4 units. I mean I would pay another grand for that feature. The next level up to a system that would is a Zaxcom, Wisycom or Sound Devices. Just those transmitters are $2k and you're looking at $6-10k fir the same system. It's a shame that these companies can own a patent on something like internal record and transmit. It must be only for UHF band, because I doubt the Rode Wireless Go and DJI mic can pay out for the license. IDK maybe they can since they are selling so many more units.
@@kyleranney exactly! I’d be willing to pay more for that. It’d be the perfect unit. If I can remember, I think Deity would’ve been the first to company in the US to reach an agreement with Zaxcom for the patent. So, Rode probably is doing something different, lending them to have cheaper devices.
@@kyleranney Oh man. Can't record and transmit at the same time? That's rather unfortunate.
Love this system! Finally more pro options to choose from w/ awesome features. I made a video on the issues I was having with #Rode, #Sennheiser, & #DJI #wirelessmics
Should you be using a wifi mic or RF mic?

What’s the system delay?
6.3ms
sooooooo the PR2 is never coming out, ok cool
We literally showed off the latest version last week at the IBC Show in Amsterdam😅. Beta testing takes time. We don't want to use customers as beta testers. We'd rather ship out something that works on day one just right.
@@DeityMicrophones then don’t say you’re going to have them out by the end of summer. I was under the impression these were done with beta from the road show you did. I’m going to have to find alternatives now.
Too much cinematic slow talk b roll nonsense and taking forever for info so real question... can this record split channel so I'm able to add more than two lavs TO EACH CHANNEL. So if I add lavs, do I need to but another receiver in order to get 1 or two more tracks to record on?
@tonypmedia the D2RX can only receive signals from up to 2 transmitters
Where in the world can we buy Theos with 100mW of transmitting power, simultaneous recording and transmission, @deitymicrophones?
Same question. Although I'm beginning to think the 100mW version is US only so much for single product SKU.
