5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

5.1 Timecode Synchronization

The TC-1 offers multiple methods for precise timecode synchronization:

Bit Connectify™ Wireless Control: Control up to 20 TC-1 units from a master unit up to 250 feet away. This proprietary technology ensures robust and long-range synchronization.
Secondary RF Chip: For closer range synchronization (up to 30 feet) between TC-1 devices, a secondary RF chip provides reliable connectivity.
Bluetooth 5.0 & Sidus Audio™ App: Connect your TC-1 units to a smartphone or laptop via Bluetooth and use the Sidus Audio™ app for comprehensive control, monitoring, and simultaneous syncing of all units.

To sync, designate one TC-1 as the master and the others as slaves. Initiate the sync process via the master unit's menu or the Sidus Audio™ app. The Sync LED will confirm successful synchronization.

5.2 Connecting to Devices (Cameras/Recorders)

Use the provided C15 TRS to BNC cables or other compatible 3.5mm TC cables to connect the TC-1 to your recording equipment. The locking 3.5mm port ensures a secure connection during operation.

5.3 Using the Built-In Scratch Microphone

For cameras or action cameras that only feature a stereo mic input, the TC-1's built-in scratch microphone can provide a reference audio track. This is useful for quickly aligning audio in post-production, especially when a dedicated audio recorder is not used.

7. Utatuzi wa shida

Tatizo	Sababu inayowezekana	Suluhisho
Kitengo hakiwashi.	Betri ya chini au iliyoisha.	Charge the unit using the provided USB-C cable.
Timecode not syncing.	Units out of range; incorrect master/slave setup; interference.	Ensure units are within range (250ft for Bit Connectify, 30ft for RF). Verify master/slave settings. Check for sources of wireless interference.
Timecode drift.	Prolonged operation without re-sync; extreme temperature changes.	Re-sync units periodically, especially after long takes or significant environmental changes. The TC-1 is designed for minimal drift (less than 1 frame in 72 hours).
Udhibiti wa programu haufanyi kazi.	Bluetooth haijawashwa; programu haijasasishwa; kifaa hakiwezi kugunduliwa.	Ensure Bluetooth is active on your device and the TC-1. Update the Sidus Audio™ app. Restart the TC-1 unit.
No timecode output to camera/recorder.	Incorrect cable; incorrect output settings on TC-1; camera input misconfigured.	Verify cable connection and type. Check TC-1 output settings. Ensure camera/recorder is set to receive external timecode.
