Betso SBOX-2RF

Betso SBOX-2RF [SBOX-2RF]

The Betso SBOX-2RF is a compact and highly accurate timecode and wordclock generator with RF transmission of timecode and status information. It combines a large 1″ OLED display with intuitive plug-and-play operation and very long battery life from a single AA cell, making it suitable for synchronization workflows on location or in studio environments.

Main Features

• Timecode and wordclock generator with RF transmission of timecode and status info.
• RF transmission with frequency-hopping protocol for wireless jamming up to approx. 500 m (line of sight).
• Supports all standard SMPTE timecode formats and common wordclock formats including pull-up/pull-down options.
• Automatic TC format detection and automatic jamming/calibration.
• GPS-calibrated temperature-compensated TCXO with high accuracy (±0.1 ppm).
• Compact, lightweight CNC-milled aluminium chassis with removable antenna.
• Large 1″ blue OLED display with adjustable brightness.
• Supports external powering (0.9–3 V DC) in addition to AA battery powering.
