Deity Microphones TC-1 Wireless Timecode Generator Box (Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz)

Serious content creators can make post-production simpler, faster, and more cost-effective by adding timecode to their multicamera-shoot workflow with the Deity Microphones TC-1, a professional wireless timecode generator housed in an ultraportable little box. Recording timecode to all your cameras and audio recorders using TC-1 boxes that are synchronized (jam synched) ensures that sound and picture from every source automatically fall right into place in post. This high-quality generator boasts an ultralow drift rate of only one frame every 72 hours, enabling your footage and audio to remain tightly locked over the course of the day—whether shooting with a Sound Devices or Zoom recorder, or a DSLR/mirrorless or ARRI camera.
