George Tsai Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Have two new and very affordable timecode generators coming soon. The DAGR, has 0.2" high characters and the M18 has 0.4" high characters. The portable timecode reader/generator runs on two AA batteries or external power 3.3-20V DC. It is pretty much a shrunk down version of the FDC timecode generator with the same operations. They share the same clock and have nearly identical coding and specs. The case is a generic ABS plastic case then milled to house the electronics, both use the same enclosure. The dimensions are 5.5"H x 3.0"W x 1.25"D including the BNC jack. For timecode IO there is BNC output, 1/4" TRS input/output, and the standard 5-pin LEMO input/output. The slate switch allows you to turn the display on and off as you would with clapper sticks on a slate. There is also a port for external trigger so you can even build your own mini slate. External power can be hot swapped. What I like doing is to use camera AUX power as main source and have batteries too low to power my lavs to supply power in between camera battery swaps. Belt clip option is being looked into:-) Battery life with Amazon Basic 2400mAH Ni-MH Rechargables is over 20 hours with the display off and 7 hours with the display on continuously at maximum. Duracell Duralock batteries gets over 9 hours with display on and 22 hours with display off. Pre-orders is available now on www.FUZETi.com website soon. The first available will be the DAGR (the 3 pictured prototypes) and you can expect the early bird price to be at $275 (for 2 weeks), regular pre-orders at $299.99, and the retail price once it begins shipping will be $350. There is some small changes but the production run will be very close to the prototype. The M18 is still in the works (CAD photo) so that will come later when the prototype is built and price determined (likely $50 more). 2-8-16 update: Product pages are now up. Pre-Order for the DAGR is now live! Get in on the $275.00 early bird before price goes up to $299.99 on Feb. 22nd. http://fuzeti.com/dagr-portable-timecode-pre-order.html 2-25-16 update: M18 (previously named PEQ-2) early bird price ($350.00) begins Feb 26th, 2016 through March 6th.

Will Youngman Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The display is what has me interested, the PEQ 2 especially. Could be very useful for roaming DSLR type cameras with no timecode sync. Give it to the camera man and they have a time code reference for post.
