The Denecke TS-C is a compact full-featured smart slate capable of reading, generating, and displaying SMPTE/EBU timecode. Its new compact size makes the TS-C ideal for documentary work, insert shots, or anywhere a big slate is too cumbersome. The TS-C jams to all standard frame rates, including 23.976 for HD.

Voltage Readout A battery voltage readout and low-battery warning keep the user informed. Access Door A small sliding door allows quick access to the controls and battery pack.
