Digital Timecode Slate Kit - USA Version

In the constantly changing realm of film and video production, achieving accurate synchronization between audio and video has become increasingly important. At its core, the Digital Timecode Slate Kit is designed to streamline the synchronization process, ensuring your audio and video are perfectly coordinated from the moment the camera starts rolling. This innovative device combines the traditional functionality of a slate board with the advanced technology of digital timecode in collaboration between Filmsticks and Tentacle Sync, making it an essential asset for any production. The result? A significant reduction in editing time and a dramatic decrease in the potential for sync errors, make it an essential tool for any production, large or small.
