The Betso TCX-2 + timecode transceiver and generator is a small and compact plug and play timecode jammer.
Ideal for use on multi-cam shoots to simplify syncing audio during post-production. The jammer is not only accurate, but also easy in use due to the built-in OLED-screen and can be powered by a single AA-battery.
The jammer has a 500m range which is sufficient for most situations and locations. In addition, the jammer can receive and transmit all existing SMPTE timecode formats.
The jammer is built robustly and its housing is almost completely sealed. Allowing for great water resistance performance. With one AA-battery the jammer can be powered for 50+ hours.
Finally, the jammer weighs 45 grams and the dimensions are 59 x 35 x 16 mm.
