In this week’s episode, we have a look at Deity’s TC-1 wireless timecode generator. This timecode system uses Bluetooth 5.0 to wirelessly jam units in addition to traditional hardware jamming capability. The TC-1 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 72-hour period). In this episode we walk through the TC-1’s feature set and test out its performance in a variety of tests. Let’s take a closer look!
