The BETSO WTCS-1 wireless timecode slate is carefully designed to be robust yet lightweight. The slate is equipped with a timecode generator, which makes synchronizing sound with image a simple task.

The slate is equipped with a WiFi signal and can be used with the iOS MovieSlate 8 app. The LCD screen displays all the necessary information and its brightness can be adjusted for different light situations.

It also has the latest RF transceiver module for wireless transmission of timecode and status information.

The slate works with AA batteries and can have an autonomy of up to 100 hours with full batteries.

The dimensions are 230 x 185 x 24 mm and it weighs 760g.
