Denecke TS-3 Timecode Slate with Syncbox Timecode Generator
Built around an internal Syncbox generator, the Denecke TS-3 is a timecode slate that reads, displays, and jams to SMPTE/EBU timecode at all standard frame rates, 23.976 included.
The TS-3 sets itself to the incoming frame rate and jams its user bits when the time is set. A temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) comes standard and keeps drift low, a blinking LED shows the jam, and a sync error warning appears when frame rates differ.
The TS-3 is light enough to fit in a front box, with a flat back that holds a removable plate for camera logs. Six AA batteries load through a sliding access door, and the display reads out battery voltage and warns when the batteries run low. A time-out for open sticks saves the batteries, and scroll back shows the last 16 claps for logging. The TS-3EL adds an electroluminescent backlight for dark sets.
