FAQs

What is the primary function of the Deity C15 cable?

The primary function of the Deity C15 cable is to transmit accurate timecode signals between audio and video devices, ensuring synchronization for professional production workflows.

What devices are compatible with this cable?

It is compatible with devices that have a 3.5mm TRS timecode output (like the Deity TC 1) and devices with a BNC timecode input, common on professional cameras and recorders.

Is this cable suitable for carrying audio signals?

No, this cable is specifically designed for timecode transmission only and is not intended for carrying audio signals.

How long is the Deity C15 cable?

The cable measures 19 inches in length.

Why does the 3.5mm connector have a locking mechanism?

The locking mechanism ensures a secure connection, preventing accidental dislodgement that could interrupt the timecode signal during critical recording sessions.

How does the shielded construction benefit me?

The shielded construction protects the timecode signal from external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, leading to a more stable and accurate transmission.

Can the right-angle BNC connector be used with any camera?

It can be used with any camera that features a standard BNC input port for timecode. The right-angle design is beneficial for managing cable proximity to other ports or body of the camera.

Troubleshooting

No timecode signal received by the camera/recorder.

Ensure the 3.5mm locking connector is securely fastened and the BNC connector is properly seated. Verify timecode is being transmitted from the source device and that the correct input port is selected on the receiving device. Check cable for any visible damage.

Timecode drifts or is inaccurate.

Confirm the timecode source device is stable and functioning correctly. Ensure the cable is not damaged and that the shielding is intact. Minimize potential sources of electromagnetic interference in the vicinity.

3.5mm connector won't lock.

Check for debris or damage on the 3.5mm connector of the cable or the port on your timecode source device. Ensure you are using the correct TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector and not a TS (Tip-Sleeve) connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure locking connector prevents signal loss.
  • Shielding minimizes interference for accurate timecode.
  • Convenient length for most on-set applications.
  • Durable construction suitable for professional use.

Cons

  • Specific connector types (3.5mm TRS to BNC) limit direct compatibility with some devices.
  • Length may be too short for very long-distance setups.
  • Not designed for audio signal transmission, only timecode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the 3.5mm locking TRS connector to your timecode source device (e.g., Deity TC 1, Tentacle Sync). Ensure the connector is fully inserted and the locking collar is tightened.
  2. Connect the right-angle BNC connector to the timecode input port on your camera or audio recorder. The right-angle design helps manage cable routing in tight spaces.
  3. Verify that your devices are configured to send and receive timecode through these respective ports.

Compatibility:

  • Source End: Compatible with devices featuring a 3.5mm TRS output designed for timecode.
  • Destination End: Compatible with devices featuring a BNC input for timecode (common on professional cameras and recorders).
  • Specifically tested for compatibility with Deity TC 1 boxes and most broadcast cameras.

Care:

  • Avoid extreme temperatures and excessive moisture.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks and internal wire damage.
  • Regularly inspect connectors for debris and clean with a dry cloth if necessary.
  • Do not use the cable for carrying audio signals, as it is specifically designed for timecode transmission.
