Deity Microphones TC-SL1 BT Timecode Smart Slate w/TC-1 Timecode Generator Box

An innovative leap in filmmaking technology, the Deity Microphones TC-SL1 Bluetooth Timecode Smart Clapper Slate with TC-1 Wireless Timecode Generator Box is the world's first timecode smart slate that can be synced via a Bluetooth phone app. This groundbreaking device allows filmmakers to download a free timecode slate app, enabling wireless control of their timecode clapperboard. Seamlessly sync your TC-SL1 while simultaneously Bluetooth syncing your TC-1 timecode generators, ensuring precise coordination on set.

Designed for versatility, the TC-SL1 features a backlit slate and dot matrix timecode display, both of which can be dimmed across six brightness levels via the onboard menu. This functionality is particularly beneficial for night shoots, as the TC display and slate backlight activate upon opening the clapperboard.

Harness the power of long-range wireless control with Deity's exclusive Bit Connectify technology, which allows you to manage up to 20 TC-SL1 timecode slates or TC-1 timecode boxes from a distance of 250 feet. Additionally, the TC-SL1 includes a secondary RF chip for syncing timecode with any TC-1 devices within a 30-foot range, making it the world's first smart slate with Bluetooth capability.

The TC-SL1 is universally compatible, capable of reading and outputting LTC timecode signals, making it suitable for integration with any brand of timecode equipment. It can auto-sync its internal timecode and frames per second (FPS) to an external timecode signal, and even after powering down, the timecode continues running for up to six hours.

Engineered for optimal visibility, the TC-SL1 smart slate display features an anti-glare, dry-erase polymer surface with a unique matte finish, ensuring clarity on camera from any angle. This design facilitates easy reference during post-production editing.

Ergonomically designed, the TC-SL1 includes a built-in handle with rubber grip pads for secure one-handed operation. The top clapper portion features a thumb notch for added comfort and ease of use. Constructed from a single piece of precision CNC-milled aluminum, the TC-SL1 boasts a premium build quality with smooth beveled edges, preventing surface damage on set.

The TC-SL1 offers extended battery life with dual NP-F battery bays, allowing for hot-swapping without powering down. The onboard USB-C port supports charging, compatible with USB-C PD3.0, QC2.0, FCP, and AFC quick charging protocols. For optimal charging speed, a 15V 2A output charger is recommended.

Equipped with high-capacity batteries, each rated at 3350mAh (24.79Wh), the TC-SL1 provides 33% more capacity than standard NP-F550 batteries. These batteries include under-voltage discharge protection, over-voltage protection, and short detection cutoff protection, and their distinctive Deity yellow exterior ensures visibility in low-light conditions. They are compatible with any device using Sony L-Series batteries.

Crafted for durability and environmental responsibility, the TC-SL1 features a clapper made from Black Walnut wood, sourced from a certified sustainable farm in Tennessee, USA. Known for its shock resistance and resistance to warping, Black Walnut ensures the clapper withstands the rigors of heavy use.

The Sidus Audio app enhances connectivity, allowing users to link all devices to a phone or MacBook laptop. Through the app, you can control device settings, monitor status, and sync all units simultaneously.

To safeguard your investment, the TC-SL1 Screen Protector is designed to shield the dry erase area from damage caused by markers and adhesive residues, ensuring longevity and reliability in every production.
