The Saramonic TC-NEO is a high-precision wireless timecode generator designed for reliable sync in professional film and audio productions. With ±0.5 ppm TCXO accuracy, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz sync, and up to 22 hours of battery life, the TC-NEO is a compact and powerful tool for both single and multi-cam workflows.
TC-NEO is equipped with a high-precision TCXO that keeps sync with less than one frame deviation over 48 hours. It generates LTC or Audio TC according to SMPTE-12M and works with most cameras and audio recorders without complicated configuration.
Sync via Bluetooth with the Saramonic System app, directly wirelessly between devices via 2.4 GHz, or by wired jam sync via 3.5 mm timecode port. TC-NEO can also be synced locally without a phone, providing maximum flexibility at the recording location.
The crisp 1.1" OLED display shows battery status, frame rate and sync in real time. The compact retro design and structured dial provide quick and precise control over all important settings.
The built-in 1150 mAh battery provides up to 22 hours of continuous operation, making the TC-NEO suitable for all-day recording without interruption. Charging is convenient via USB-C.
TC-NEO has a built-in loop microphone that records reference audio in parallel with timecode. Via the 3.5 mm output, timecode is played on the left channel and ambient sound on the right - perfect for quick sync in post-production.
