Tascam DR-10L

Step #1

Today I’m gonna show you how to set up timecode on your Tascam DR-10L Pro using the Deity TC-1.

Step #2

First things first, confirm your framerate with the camera department. In this case, we’re using 30fps.

Step #3

On your TC-1, scroll over to the frame rate section and set it to 30fps. Next, scroll over to the out type section and select “A-Out.”

Step #4

The Tascam only accepts LTC-Audio timecode signals, not metadata timecode, which is why we set it to A-Out and not L-Out.

Step #5

To connect the TC-1 to the DR-10L Pro you’ll need a locking TRS to TRS cable.

Step #6

On the DR-10L Pro, enter the menu, scroll to the bottom, and select LTC Sync.

Step #7

Once prompted, connect the TC-1. It will automatically detect the chosen frame rate.

Once you press confirm, the device’s timecode will update and be synced with the rest of your set.

Step #8

From here, you can remove the TC-1, but note that if the DR-10L Pro powers off, you will need to rejam its timecode.
