The Betso TCX-2+ is an ultra compact highly accurate timecode transceiver and generator. It is based on their very easy to use "plug and play" philosophy, which is guaranteed by the units wide OLED display and easy to replace single AA battery.
New RF transmission brings wireless continuous jamming of time code with 0 ppm error and clear status information of all connected devices to the network with just one click of button.
Betso TCX-2+ Features
- RF transmission of time code and device status information
- Jamming calibration feature to copy master's TCXO precision
- Automatic power ON function after active time code detection
- Advanced power saving features - various different actions after 10s without any button activity including OLED display dim and turn off
- Display orientation allows to set 180° display rotation for upside down TCX-2+ mounting position
- Time code offset adjustment from -10.0 to 10.0 frames with 0.1 frame step
- Variable user bits settings including preset value, jammed user bits and live external timecode insertion
- USB connector available for future firmware upgrades
