Saramonic TC-NEO Time-Code Generator

The Saramonic TC-NEO is a professional wireless timecode generator designed for precise and reliable sync. It features a high-precision TCXO with ±0.5 ppm accuracy for minimal drift, multiple sync methods including Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, and a long 22-hour battery life for all-day shoots.

The Saramonic TC-NEO is a highly precise wireless timecode generator engineered to provide flawless synchronization for multi-camera and location sound workflows. Its high-precision TCXO offers ±0.5 ppm accuracy, ensuring drift is kept to less than one frame over a 48-hour period, a crucial feature for long shoots. The unit provides flexible sync methods to fit any setup, including one-tap sync for up to 48 devices via the Saramonic System App (Bluetooth), direct wireless sync between units (2.4 GHz), or a wired connection through its 3.5mm timecode port. The 1.1" high-resolution OLED display provides clear, real-time monitoring and is controlled by easy-to-use dials. Each TC-NEO unit is powered by a built-in 1150 mAh lithium polymer battery with up to 22 hours of continuous operation. For multi-unit setups, the included charging kit can house and power three units, offering all-day power and simplified workflow with one-press clock mode activation. This makes the TC-NEO ideal for any production, from documentaries to cinematic dramas.

Built for Precision

TC-NEO generates LTC or Audio TC timecode based on the SMPTE-12M standard and works seamlessly with most cameras and audio recorders. No special setup, just plug in and sync. With a high-precision TCXO with ±0.5 ppm accuracy, it keeps sync for up to 48 hours* with under 1 frame of drift. Talk about reliable.

Sync Your Way, Stay in Control

Wireless or wired sync, TC-NEO handles both. With Bluetooth, you can sync up to 48 devices via the Saramonic System App, or sync with the Saramonic K9 UHF audio system. Even if your phone runs out of power or Bluetooth drops, you can sync locally between units with no phone needed. Or jam sync via cable from any external timecode source. However your workflow goes, TC-NEO fits right in.

 

Everything in Clear View

With a crisp 1.1" OLED display up front, you can check sync status, battery life, and frame rate at a glance. Wrapped in an eye-catching retro design and compact body, TC-NEO also features a pyramid-textured dial for smooth, precise control over all your essential settings.

 

Multi-Cam Sync is Just That Simple

Three-camera setups are standard on set. TC-NEO delivers with a first-of-its-kind charging kit that houses and powers 3 units, streamlining your multi-cam workflow. Each unit runs up to 22 hours* on a single charge, or up to 48 hours* with the case. USB-C input keeps things powered throughout your shoot. And here's a nice little extra: When charging, hold the side button for 1.5 seconds and all three displays turn into perfectly synced digital clocks. Add a little fun for the busy workflow.

Audio Backup You can Count on

TC-NEO's built-in mic gives you a reliable backup in sync. Just plug in a 3.5 mm cable — timecode goes to the left track, while the built-in mic records ambient audio on the right. From claps to slates to flickering lights, those natural reference help you align everything fast in post. Smart sync made simple.

 

Connect with Confidence

The charging kit includes everything you need to start shooting, like 3.5 mm TRS to TRS, USB-C to USB-C, and two essential timecode cables to cover most workflows. Seven additional cables are available for advanced setups. The kit also includes two different cold shoe adapters for clean mounting, plus three colored silicone cases for shock protection and easy ID. Additional 5 colors are available separately for even more customization. Whether you’re new to timecode or a seasoned pro, you’ll be up and running in minutes.
