TC-1 (3pc Kit)

Simplifying Post-Production with Timecode

When recording sound separately or working with multiple cameras on a production—whether it's a feature film, TV show, music video, documentary, or especially reality television—jam-syncing timecode is essential. With increasing devices supporting SMPTE timecode, post-production workflows are more efficient than ever. Instead of manually aligning waveforms, timecode streamlines the process, saving valuable time and resources while ensuring faster project turnaround.

Long-Range Wireless SMPTE Timecode with Minimal Drift

Designed for precision, this advanced timecode generator is compatible with all SMPTE formats and features a TXCO oscillator with ±0.5 ppm accuracy—resulting in an impressively low drift rate of just one frame every 72 hours.

For even greater accuracy, wireless syncing keeps all units perfectly aligned throughout the day. You have two convenient options for control: Bluetooth 5.0 allows seamless operation through the Sidus Audio app, enabling jam sync and adjustments for up to 48 TC-1 units at distances up to 250 feet. For those who prefer a direct approach, the built-in OLED screen and control panel offer hands-on syncing for up to eight units via proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless technology, with a range of up to 30 feet.

Versatile Timecode Support for Cameras and Audio Recorders

The TC-1 features a secure, locking 3.5mm TRS timecode port, ensuring your connections remain intact throughout a shoot. When working with DSLR or mirrorless cameras, the included 3.5mm TRS cable records timecode on the left channel while preserving the right channel for reference audio—captured through the built-in omnidirectional microphone, which aligns with the camera lens for accurate audio backup.

For professional setups, additional cables are included to support cameras and recorders equipped with 5-pin LEMO or BNC timecode ports, ensuring seamless integration with a wide range of industry-standard equipment.
