The Dcode TC-1 Time Code Reader opens the world of time code to film editing at a fraction of the cost of other systems. Using time coded film dailies, editors working directly with film can use the TC-1 to assist them in syncing, making high speed searches, logging, and keeping accurate time-date records of the actual production.

The TC-1 reads SMPTE and EBU time code from VTRs, videocassette recorders, film editing machines, and film synchronizers from 1/50 to 50 times speed in both forward and reverse. For transferring 1/4" tape to mag film it cleans up (reshapes) time code while generating 60Hz sync pulse from either 24 or 30fps time code. Perfect for film and television production companies, transfer houses, and music studios.
