Denecke Dcode TS-C Compact Lightweight Time Code Clapper Slate with Color Clapper Sticks

Enhance your film and video production with the Denecke Dcode TS-C, a professional-grade, compact, and lightweight smart slate that is engineered to streamline your workflow. This high-quality time code clapper slate is adept at reading, generating, and displaying SMPTE/EBU LTC time code with precision and ease. Its innovative design renders the TS-C ideal for on-the-go documentary work or any production environment where a larger slate would be impractical.

The versatile TS-C is compatible with all standard frame rates, including the 23.976 fps required for high-definition video, ensuring seamless integration into your existing production setup. The slate's intelligent system automatically sets User Bits when synchronized to an external time code source, simplifying your process. For more complex scenarios, the frame rates can be cross-jammed manually, offering you complete control over your production's time code requirements.

Auto set mode is a standout feature that effortlessly jams to the incoming time code's frame rate, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and enhancing your efficiency on set. In its time code reader mode, the TS-C is capable of interpreting both ascending and descending time code, providing you with comprehensive time code management.

The TS-C is also equipped to handle off-speed time code, commonly used in unique production scenarios such as music video playback, ensuring that your slate is as adaptable as your creative vision. Additionally, it can be configured as a "+1 frame reader," offering real-time time code display without the typical one-frame delay, giving you the most accurate time synchronization.

As the first Denecke product to support Aaton serial protocol, the TS-C represents a leap forward in compatibility and functionality. The integration of a high precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) with a 16-bit microprocessor guarantees minimal drift and maximum accuracy, making this slate a reliable tool for any production.

The TS-C comes with color clapper sticks, enhancing visual cue visibility, and features a standard Electroluminescent (EL) backlit faceplate, which is invaluable in low-light conditions, ensuring that the time code is always clear and legible.

Crafted with durable materials, the Denecke Dcode TS-C is built to endure the demands of rigorous film and video production environments, making it an indispensable asset for professionals seeking a reliable, high-performance time code solution.
