Product Information
Full details
The Deity C19 timecode cable is a professional-grade accessory tailored for videographers using the Canon R5 C and C400 cameras in tandem with timecode-sync systems like the Deity TC-1. Its primary benefit is the seamless embedding of timecode metadata directly into your video files, which saves valuable time in post-production by avoiding the need to stripe LTC onto audio tracks. A key caveat is that this cable is specifically engineered for devices with recessed Din 1.0/2.3 ports; it is not a universal cable and will not work with cameras lacking these specific connection requirements.

FAQs
Can I use this cable with other camera brands?
No, the C19 is specifically designed for the port depth and connector type found on the Canon R5 C and C400.
Does this cable transmit audio?
No, this cable is dedicated to timecode data transfer and does not carry audio signals.
Is the 3.5mm end compatible with any timecode generator?
It is compatible with any timecode generator that utilizes a standard 3.5mm TRS timecode output, such as the Deity TC-1.
What is the benefit of a locking connector?
The locking mechanism prevents the cable from being pulled out accidentally during active filming, which would cause the camera to lose its timecode sync.
Does this cable require a battery?
No, the cable is passive and does not require power to operate.
How do I ensure the best signal quality?
Keep the cable away from power lines and ensure both connectors are fully seated in their respective ports.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not recognize the timecode input
Verify the camera menu settings are configured to accept external timecode rather than internal timecode or jam sync.
Connection feels loose at the camera end
Ensure the connector is fully inserted; the extra-long housing is designed specifically for recessed ports and may require firm pressure to click into place.
Sync drift between cameras
Check that the TC-1 generator is set to the same frame rate as the camera project settings.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnections
- Tailored specifically for recessed camera ports
- Eliminates the need for audio-track timecode striping
- Robust build quality for professional field use
Cons
- Compatibility limited to specific Canon models
- Requires a camera with a dedicated timecode input port
- Specialized connector type is not interchangeable with standard TRS-only devices
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the C19, first verify that your camera is set to receive external timecode via the menu settings. Align the Din 1.0/2.3 connector carefully with the port on the Canon R5 C or C400; because it is a precision-fit connector, do not force it. Ensure the locking collar on the 3.5mm end is tightened securely against the TC-1 unit.
For care, avoid sharp bends near the connector strain relief to maintain cable longevity. Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure optimal signal transmission. When not in use, coil the cable loosely to prevent internal wire stress.
