Deity Microphones C23 Overview

Streamline your workflow and focus on your creative vision with the Deity Microphones C23, a cable that offers a secure connection for feeding timecode signal from a TC-1 timecode box generator to a Sony FX3, FX30, a1, or a7S III mirorless camera. The C23 allows users to add timecode directly to the footage metadata, eliminating the need to strip LTC to an audio track. This means that you don't have to sacrifice an audio track for timecode recording. It also simplifies your postproduction workflow and saves you time and money, while allowing you to capture high-quality audio and timecode simultaneously.

The cable features a right-angle, locking 3.5mm TRS male connector at one end and a straight, Sony Multi Interface connector at the other. It fits easily between your Sony mirrorless camera and the Deity TC-1 timecode box using a hook-and-loop mounting method, which also removes cable stress from your Sony's multi-port. Built out of metal, the C23 offers a durable and reliable option for syncing timecode in the studio or in the field.

I tried it and it does not work. Sony would need to do a firmware update as they did with the fx3, fx30 & a7siii for this to work.

Can this be used with the Rode Wireless Pro and an FX3. Does it have any timecode delay issues?
Asked by: Terry
Can confirm! Just tried this today. Works perfectly with rode wireless pro and Sony FX3. Haven’t tested with a7s III yet. And if you were wondering, yes you can jam sync. I’d switch the rode to time code output only mode, jam sync the cameras, and then switch back to whatever mode you prefer.

Will this work to pass TC from a Tentacle Sync TC box to an FX30?
Asked by: Thomas
No. The Deity Microphones C23 Timecode Cable has a locking 3.5mm connector and is intended for use with the Deity Microphones TC-1 Wireless Timecode Generator Box (B&H # DEDTT0272D80). The Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator has a non-locking 3.5mm connector which is not compatible with the C23 Timecode Cable.

Will this need to stay connected while recording, or can you jam & remove the TC generator?
Asked by: William
The Deity Microphones C23 Timecode Cable for Sony FX3 / FX30 Cameras is intended to remain connected to the camera and TC-1 Timecode Generator. This allows timecode to be embedded directly to the footage metadata, rather than recording it to an audio track, so you can capture audio and timecode simultaneously, without having to sacrifice an audio track for timecode.
