In this week’s episode, we have a look at Deity’s TC1 wireless timecode generator. This timecode system uses Bluetooth 5.0 to wirelessly jam units in addition to traditional hardware jamming capability. The TC1 also includes a Bluetooth connectivity range of 250 feet, a locking 3.5 mm timecode port, and compatibility with all SMPTE timecode formats. Deity also claims excellent accuracy, with performance up to 0.5 ppm (1 frame drift per 72hour period). In this episode we walk through the TC1’s feature set and test out its performance in a variety of tests. Let’s take a closer look!
