The clap slate actuates a generator/reader while used in a production; internal or external time code will be displayed for use with audio and/or video production equipment. Therefore, visual displays and audio indication can be matched with electronically generated time code information. As an added feature this device transmits the time code over air waves and supplies a portable receiver to connect with production equipment.

It features an LED light that displays green when in transmitter mode and red when in receiver mode. When used with time code input or output, the transceiver uses a Lemo 5-pin connector. An XLR3F-to-Lemo cable is included. When several of these devices are used in conjunction that can be configured for use as transmitters or receivers as needed.
