Diet Microphone is a powerhouse for incorporating timecode into their slates. With their slate, TC-1 box, and most especially their App timecode is by far easier to integrate into smaller productions. The only problem? It makes us want timecode in places we never thought of before.Deity made a name for themselves with affordable yet high quality units for a variety of on set audio recording tasks. After dipping their toes into timecode with the highly flexible BP-TRX units, they have gone full on into timecode with an app driven eco-system tied around Sidus Audio. We spent some time testing it with a variety of cameras and use cases, and our only frustration was that more outside vendors aren’t already supporting the system. It solves a real problem, speeds up workflows, and simplifies timecode so you can get back to worrying about other problems on set.Why We Use TimecodeWe use timecode on sets to keep things in sync together, faster. You can use a clap slate to keep your sound and audio in sync on set, and we still think you should do that, if only as a backup. But syncing multiple cameras and audio tracks in post with the clap slate is time consuming (and AI can’t yet read the picture for the clap hit mark, someone still has to look for it).Timecode is basically instant: highlight the clips you want to sync (or put them in a Resolve sync bin), and they just “snap” right together if their timecode...
