Streamline your workflow and focus on your creative vision with the Deity Microphones C23, a cable that offers a secure connection for feeding timecode signal from a TC-1 timecode box generator to a Sony FX3 or FX30 Camera. The C23 allows users to add timecode directly to the footage metadata, eliminating the need to strip LTC to an audio track. This means that you don't have to sacrifice an audio track for timecode recording. It also simplifies your postproduction workflow and saves you time and money, while allowing you to capture high-quality audio and timecode simultaneously.

The cable features a right-angle, locking 3.5mm TRS male connector at one end and a straight, Sony Multi Interface connector at the other. It fits easily between your Sony FX3/FX30 camera and the Deity TC-1 timecode box using a hook-and-loop mounting method, which also removes cable stress from your Sony's multi-port. Built out of metal, the C23 offers a durable and reliable option for syncing timecode in the studio or in the field.

Q: 1. Has anyone tried it with a Zoom F6?

A: The Tentacle Sync C24 3.5mm TRS to Multi Interface Timecode Cable is not compatible for use with the Zoom F6 Multi-Track Field Recorder. The 3.5mm connector on the C24 cable is for connection to a Tentacle Sync SYNC E, TRACK E, or their original timecode unit and the other connector is a Multi Interface connector specifically for connection to a Sony FX3 or FX30 Cinema Camera.

Q: 2. Would this work with Rode wireless pro?

A: No, the Tentacle Sync C24 3.5mm TRS to Multi Interface Timecode Cable is intended for use with the Sony FX3 and FX30 Digital Cinema Cameras. It is not compatible for use with the RODE Wireless PRO 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System. For the timecode support in the Wireless PRO, the receiver acts as the timecode generator and timecode is generated together with the audio signal and timecode is baked into the audio recorded by the Wireless PRO transmitters. When the receiver is connected to a camera or recorder, the timecode signal will be recognized by your editing software.
