DENECKE DCODE TS-C Quick Start Manual

The Denecke TS-C is a compact full featured smart slate,
capable of reading, generating and displaying SMPTE/EBU
LTC time code. Its' new form factor makes the TS-C ideal
for documentary work or anywhere a big slate is too
cumbersome. The TS-C jams to all standard frame rates,
including 23.976 for HD. User Bits are set automatically
when jammed to an external time code. In manual set
mode, frame rates can be cross jammed. Auto set mode
automatically jams to the same frame rate as the incoming
time code. In time code reader mode, both ascending and
descending time code are read. The TS-C reads and
displays off speed time code used in special situations such
as music video playback. The time code reader can also be
configured as a "+1 frame reader" to display the time code
in real time (not a frame late). The TS-C is the first
Denecke product to support Aaton serial protocol. A high
precision TCXO is combined with a 16 bit microprocessor,
ensuring both extremely low drift and high accuracy. The
standard EL backlit face plate is very useful in low light
situations. The new Denecke TS-C compact slate is
affordably priced. Your choice of black and white or color
clapper sticks.
