Introducing the TC-A Timecode + Audio Mutiny Box

The Mutiny TC-A Timecode + Audio Box is a professional solution designed for mirrorless and DSLR cameras equipped with a 3.5 mm microphone input. It allows LTC timecode directly into the audio signal while maintaining a usable audio track, thus addressing a major problem with cameras lacking native timecode.

Operation and compatibility of the Timecode Box + Audio Mutiny TC-A

The Mutiny TC-A works with timecode generators such as Deity (A-OUT mic level) or Tentacle Sync. The LTC timecode is recorded to the left audio channel, while the microphone audio is retained on the right channel. This configuration ensures reliable synchronization in all major NLE editing software, while maintaining a clean recording.

The case is compatible with a very wide range of Panasonic Lumix, Sony (A7R, A7S and FX series), Canon, Fuji and other mirrorless or DSLR models with a 3.5 mm microphone input.

Assembly and ergonomics

The Mutiny TC-A Timecode + Audio Enclosure can be mounted horizontally or vertically thanks to its three mounting points. It uses a standard 1/4-20 with a removable centering pinand can be adapted to 3/8-16 via an optional adapter. This flexibility facilitates integration onto camera cages, rigs, or mounting accessories.

Practical use cases

Multicamera shooting without native timecode

The Mutiny TC-A allows reliable LTC timecode to hybrid cameras used in multicamera setups, greatly simplifying synchronization in post-production.

Synchronized audio recording on compact devices

By recording timecode on the left channel and audio on the right channel, the device ensures perfect synchronization while maintaining a clean audio track, even on lightweight setups.

Interference-free audio monitoring

Thanks to the included headphone adapter, monitoring is done only on the useful audio track, without hearing the high-frequency timecode signal.
