Saramonic has released the TC‑NEO, a compact wireless timecode generator designed to keep multi-camera and recorder setups in sync on professional shoots. Its standout feature is a high-precision oscillator rated at ±0.05 ppm, or less than one frame of drift over 48 hours, and an optional 3-unit kit, which includes a charging case that powers and syncs all three devices at once. The Saramonic TC-NEO supports multiple sync methods, providing flexibility across various workflows, and integrates with the Saramonic K9 wireless audio system, bringing timecode into a full location sound setup. Let’s take a closer look. Saramonic is a global audio brand established in 2012, specializing in sound, pure and simple. Just last week, the Saramonic Air was released – a dual-channel, wireless microphone for quick shoots, which we discussed in the latest Focus Check podcast. Also released this year was the Saramonic K9 Audio System, which transmits in the ultra-wide UHF band instead of the typically used 2.4 GHz band. Multiple syncing options Up to 48 units can be paired wirelessly over Bluetooth using the Saramonic System app or synced with the K9 UHF audio system. If Bluetooth isn’t available, units can pair directly over local 2.4 GHz wireless, which can be useful in environments where phones aren’t permitted or battery life is limited. Wired jam sync is also supported via 3.5 mm input from an external source, and the TC‑NEO integrates with the K9 Audio System for users already working with that setup. Multiple sync options.
