Deity Timecode Family
TC-1 and TC-SL1 form a highly accurate Deity timecode system . It can easily and
intuitively synchronizes cameras and audio recorders, making the alignment of
captured material a one-click operation. The most eye-catching device is the TC-SL1.
It is primarily used to facilitate timecode workflow in music video and narrative film
productions but also serves as a backup visual reference. This workflow is the
quickest and most cost-effective because it allows you to focus on the creative tasks
involved in post-production.

Rotate the function control wheel to select the mode and short-press to select the

Master Run:
In this mode your TC-SL1 wirelessly outputs timecode to other TC-1 or TC-SL1 units in

jam-synced via a 3.5mm cable. It is suggested to use Deity timecode cables: C13, C14

Jam Once And Lock:
In this mode your TC-SL1 locks after being synced once. The mode changes from
Jam1 to JMD. The TC-SL1 will then not follow any commands from master TC-SL1.
You will need to change the mode to unlock or control TC-SL1 through Sidus Audio™
App.
* The three working modes below can output timecode to other devices. The system default
mode is Master Run.
