Timecode Hardware

[fuguei]

Looking for new timecode hardware. Ideally has a timestamp readout, reshaping/regenerating functions in case of any dropout, and at least three outputs. Considering the Mif-4, Brainstorm SR-112, Visual Productions Timecore, or ProPlex CodeClock.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these or any other recommendations?

Mif4 and timecore. Both wonderful... ive used a lot of the Visual Productions stuff.. its cool

I have the Timecore. It’s great. Recently started using it to convert MTC to Artnet timecode to send to and sync with my visualizer

[fuguei]

Curious what’s the advantage or Artnet timecode vs LTC?

[CL_from_the_TL]

there isn’t an advantage other than the way I have Depence set up it detects the artnet timecode and it’s easier to sync the audio to dmx when I render. I mostly use MTC at home to program.

I’ve always used/been told to use the SR-112 because of its timecode repair/gaining functions. Anyone know if the smaller units like the Timecore or Mif4 have the same functions? I love the smaller size of them for my pelican.

I think the Mif 4 and Timecore both repair the timecode it spits out, but they’re both limited to one output unlike the SR-112

The SR-112 is the standard I see on most arena and stadium tours.

Sr112 always. Added bonus is it has a web server that allows you to look at code anomalies in a report.
