World's First Bluetooth Smart Slate

The Deity Microphones TC-SL1 is a wireless timecode clapperboard that syncs with a free phone app via Bluetooth. It features a CNC-milled unibody aluminium body, a backlit dry-erase surface, and an LED dot-matrix display. A built-in handle and thumb notch allow comfortable one-hand operation on set. Dual NP-F battery bays support hot-swapping for continuous power.

Tailored for Wireless Timecode Workflows

Production teams who need cable-free jam-syncing with TC-1 generators and app-based control will benefit from the 250-foot Bluetooth range. The 1/4-inch TRS and 5-pin LEMO ports provide wired I/O flexibility. Buyers who require internal timecode generation without external generators or who need a purely mechanical slate should consider other options.

Simple Setup with App Pairing

Pair the slate with the Sidus Audio app, select the desired frame rate, and jam-sync via Bluetooth or hardwired LEMO. The on-board OLED rear menu lets you dim both displays from 0 to 100 percent brightness. Common issues include forgetting to enable Bluetooth on the phone before powering the slate and neglecting to hot-swap NP-F batteries before they deplete.

Questions about this item

What power sources must I already have to run the slate?

The slate uses dual NP-F battery bays that accept standard NP-F batteries; you can hot-swap them without powering down.

Can I connect my existing timecode generator using the LEMO port?

Yes, the 5-pin LEMO connector provides timecode input and output for direct cabled sync with compatible generators.

How do I confirm the slate is displaying the correct timecode after pairing?

The 1-inch OLED rear display and LED dot-matrix front both show the active timecode; both can be dimmed from 0 to 100 % for verification.
