Denecke TS-3EL Backlit Timecode Slate
The Denecke TS-3EL is the TS-3 timecode slate with a backlit electroluminescent (EL) display behind its scene, take, and production fields, for night shoots and dimly lit stages.
The slate reads and displays SMPTE/EBU timecode, and its internal Syncbox generator jams to all standard frame rates, 23.976 included. It sets itself to the incoming frame rate, jams its user bits when the time is set, and warns of a sync error when rates differ. A blinking LED shows the jam, and a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) keeps drift low.
The TS-3EL has a flat back with a removable plate for camera logs, and it fits in a front box. Six AA batteries load through a sliding access door, and a time-out for open sticks saves them. Scroll back shows the last 16 claps for logging. On external power of 12.5 V or more, the EL backlight switches off to protect itself.
