Betso TCX-2+ timecode TransceiverThe TCX-2+ from Betso Electronics is an extremely accurate, very compact time code and word clock generator with all the functions of the SBOX-2RF - but it's smaller! The RF wireless link enables continuous sync with 0 ppm error and clear status information of all devices connected to the network with just one click of a button. It runs for up to 50 hours on one AA battery and the the operating range is up to 500m within line of sight. The RF protocol incorporates frequency hopping spread spectrum technology for signal reliability and if a unit operating in receive mode goes temporarily out of range then it simply keeps time from its internal clock and then re-connects when it is back in range. The TCX-2+ recognises all existing SMPTE time code formats and all commonly used word clock formats are supported, including their pull-up and pull-down options. The TCX-2+ is very light but is robust because it is made from milled and anodised aluminium for years of hard work. It is easy to mount on proper video cameras or DSLRs with either the Betso pouch or hotshoe holder. Specifications- Display 1“ blue OLED with adjustable brightness
