The Denecke DCode TS-3EL Time Code Slate reads and displays SMPTE/EBU Time Code. It utilizes an internally mounted SB-2 Syncbox Time Code Generator, and it jams to all standard frame rates. These include 24P (23.976) and 30P (29.97). The Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator ensures low drift and is standard on the TS-3EL. Our TS-3EL model has color clapper sticks and a backlit display, particularly useful during night shoots and on dimly lit stages.
