Saramonic TC-NEO Saramonic

Podrobný popis

The Saramonic TC-NEO is a compact wireless timecode generator for syncing cameras and audio recorders. Its TCXO oscillator with ±0.5 ppm accuracy keeps drift below one frame in 48 hours, it outputs LTC or Audio TC to SMPTE-12M over a 3.5 mm cable, and units sync over Bluetooth, on 2.4 GHz or by cable. It runs for 22 hours and weighs 42.5 g.

Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and cable

The Saramonic System app syncs up to 48 units at once over Bluetooth at a distance of about 40 m. Units can also sync with each other on 2.4 GHz, or by cable (jam sync) from any external timecode source.

OLED display and rotary dial

The crisp 1.1″ OLED display shows sync status, battery and frame rate at a glance. The essential settings are made with a pyramid-textured rotary dial.

Built-in microphone for reference audio

With a 3.5 mm cable connected, timecode goes to the left track and the built-in omnidirectional microphone records ambient sound to the right. A clap, a slate or a flash of light then serves as a reference in the edit.

Coloured silicone covers

The silicone cover protects TC-NEO from knocks and its colour tells the units of individual cameras apart. The orange one is in the box; covers come in eight colours in total.

±0.5 ppm accuracy

The temperature-compensated TCXO crystal oscillator with ±0.5 ppm accuracy keeps drift below one frame in 48 hours across −30 to +85 °C.

Frame rates

23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 29.97DF, 30, 47.95, 48, 50, 59.94, 59.94DF and 60 fps.

Master and slave

TC-NEO works as the master timecode source, as a slave unit, or in slave-lock mode. The start timecode can be set manually.

Works with the K9 system

TC-NEO is the master timecode source for Saramonic K9 transmitters and other TC-NEO units in the app. The K9 RX receiver takes over the synced timecode automatically.

22 hours per charge

The built-in 1150 mAh Li-Po battery lasts up to 22 hours with the display on and charges over USB-C in 2 hours.

LTC and Audio TC to SMPTE-12M

TC-NEO generates linear timecode (LTC) and Audio TC to the SMPTE-12M standard, so it works with most professional cameras and audio recorders. It connects with a 3.5 mm cable and syncs without any special setup. Editing software such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro then lines up picture and sound by timecode.

Sync without a phone

If the phone runs flat or Bluetooth drops, TC-NEO units pass timecode directly between each other on 2.4 GHz. Every camera and recorder should keep its own timecode generator for the whole shoot; a single manual jam in the morning is not enough for long, fragmented shooting days.

Multi-camera shooting

A three-camera setup is standard on set. That is what the TC-NEO Kit is for: three timecode generators in a charging case with a 6000 mAh battery that extends runtime to up to 48 hours and adds a digital clock mode.

Timecode cables

TC-NEO connects to cameras, recorders and wireless receivers with a 3.5 mm connector with a locking nut. SR-TRS-C01 links devices with a 3.5 mm connector, SR-TRS-C03, C04 and C05 ARRI cameras and devices with a 5-pin LEMO, SR-TRS-C06 a BNC connector, SR-TRS-C07 and C08 RED cameras, SR-TRS-C09 the Canon EOS R5 C and SR-TRS-C10 Sony cameras with the Multi Interface.

Additional information

The Saramonic TC-NEO is a professional wireless timecode generator designed for precise and reliable sync. It features a high-precision TCXO with ±0.5 ppm accuracy for minimal drift, multiple sync methods including Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, and a long 22-hour battery life for all-day shoots.

The Saramonic TC-NEO is a highly precise wireless timecode generator engineered to provide flawless synchronization for multi-camera and location sound workflows. Its high-precision TCXO offers ±0.5 ppm accuracy, ensuring drift is kept to less than one frame over a 48-hour period, a crucial feature for long shoots. The unit provides flexible sync methods to fit any setup, including one-tap sync for up to 48 devices via the Saramonic System App (Bluetooth), direct wireless sync between units (2.4 GHz), or a wired connection through its 3.5mm timecode port. The 1.1" high-resolution OLED display provides clear, real-time monitoring and is controlled by an easy-to-use dial. Each TC-NEO unit is powered by a built-in 1150 mAh lithium polymer battery with up to 22 hours of continuous operation. For multi-unit setups, the charging case from the TC-NEO Kit can house and power three units, offering all-day power and simplified workflow with one-press clock mode activation. This makes the TC-NEO ideal for any production, from documentaries to cinematic dramas.

Built for Precision

TC-NEO generates LTC or Audio TC timecode based on the SMPTE-12M standard and works seamlessly with most cameras and audio recorders. No special setup, just plug in and sync. With a high-precision TCXO with ±0.5 ppm accuracy, it keeps sync for up to 48 hours* with under 1 frame of drift. Talk about reliable.

Sync Your Way, Stay in Control

Wireless or wired sync, TC-NEO handles both. With Bluetooth, you can sync up to 48 devices via the Saramonic System App, or sync with the Saramonic K9 UHF audio system. Even if your phone runs out of power or Bluetooth drops, you can sync locally between units with no phone needed. Or jam sync via cable from any external timecode source. However your workflow goes, TC-NEO fits right in.

Everything in Clear View

With a crisp 1.1" OLED display up front, you can check sync status, battery life, and frame rate at a glance. Wrapped in an eye-catching retro design and compact body, TC-NEO also features a pyramid-textured dial for smooth, precise control over all your essential settings.

Multi-Cam Sync is Just That Simple

Three-camera setups are standard on set. For TC-NEO there is a first-of-its-kind charging case (part of the TC-NEO Kit) that houses and powers 3 units, streamlining your multi-cam workflow. Each unit runs up to 22 hours* on a single charge, or up to 48 hours* with the charging case. USB-C input keeps things powered throughout your shoot. And here's a nice little extra: When charging, hold the side button for 1.5 seconds and all three displays turn into perfectly synced digital clocks. Add a little fun for the busy workflow.

Audio Backup You can Count on

TC-NEO's built-in mic gives you a reliable backup in sync. Just plug in a 3.5 mm cable — timecode goes to the left track, while the built-in mic records ambient audio on the right. From claps to slates to flickering lights, those natural references help you align everything fast in post. Smart sync made simple.

Connect with Confidence

The TC-NEO Kit includes everything you need to start shooting, like 3.5 mm TRS to TRS, USB-C to USB-C, and two essential timecode cables to cover most workflows. Seven additional cables are available for advanced setups. The kit also includes two different cold shoe adapters for clean mounting, plus three colored silicone covers for shock protection and easy ID. Additional 5 colors are available separately for even more customization. Whether you’re new to timecode or a seasoned pro, you’ll be up and running in minutes.
