John Blankenship Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 On a gig Monday morning, I jammed two Denecke JB-1 sync boxes. They're probably the tiniest -- and I'm thinking maybe the most accurate -- sync boxes currently available. Wednesday evening I realized that I had left them both running. Not a problem, of course, as their battery will last about a week. So, two-and-a-half days in I compared them to each other. These are two units bought at different times from different vendors. After running for 2-1/2 days they were within seven tenths of a frame of each other. This morning -- yes, three days running -- I compared them again and they were only 85/100 of a frame apart. Accuracy, reliability, great service, and friendly personnel are all among the reasons I say: "DENECKE ROCKS!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sexton Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Denecke is the ONLY timecode boxes or slates I’ve ever needed. The best products and the best customer service. Why go anywhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsound Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 +1 here as well! Kim and the folks at Denecke are the BEST! I wish other domestic companies would follow their lead with how a business should be conducted. GO DENECKE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Agreed. Once these little guys came out, I was like “here it is, finally!” I really wanted a tiny sync box with BNC and a readout. The fact that it has a user replaceable battery with massive capacity is icing on the cake, and I’m really glad it was Denecke that made them. Denecke is a great company and their products are the most reliable that I’ve seen. I’ve tried out other TC systems and have had a number of issues in accuracy, drift, build quality, and issues with them simply not being recognized by cameras. No wireless or apps needed to put more RF into the air or add another point of unreliability (let’s face it, our phone manufacturers don’t want our phones to work all the time, hence the useless updates that slow them down and render our apps useless).

Jack Norflus Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I recently got one and I'm planning on adding a few more to my kit. I am very happy and pleased with the JB1 and I too love Deneke and their customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
