Built for filmmakers, sound recordists, content creators, and production teams, the TCA-1 connects directly to the Remote connector on supported Zoom devices and provides a 3.5mm TRS timecode connection for syncing with cameras, timecode generators, and slates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for accurate timecode performance, the TCA-1 uses a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator to maintain highly stable timing during production. Zoom specifies the adapter’s precision at ±0.2 ppm, with stability that helps maintain accuracy within 0.5 frames over 24 hours. This makes the TCA-1 especially useful for multi-camera shoots, field recording, documentary work, interviews, and professional video workflows where reliable sync can reduce editing time in post-production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TCA-1 supports multiple timecode modes including Off, Int Free Run, Int Rec Run, Time of Day, Ext, and Ext Auto Rec. It also supports common production frame rates including 23.976 NDF, 24 NDF, 25 NDF, 29.97 NDF, 29.97 DF, 30 NDF, and 30 DF. Powered directly from the connected host recorder, this lightweight adapter requires no separate battery and is designed to integrate cleanly into portable Zoom recording setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible Zoom recorders include the H6studio, H5studio, H6essential, H4essential, H2essential, and F3 with the latest required firmware. The TCA-1 is ideal for users who need fast, accurate sync between a Zoom recorder and external camera, generator, or slate while keeping the setup compact, lightweight, and production-ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision timecode adapter for compatible Zoom recorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for professional audio-video sync workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to compatible Zoom recorder Remote connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm TRS connection enables timecode input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports syncing with cameras, timecode generators, and slates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated crystal oscillator provides highly stable timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains accuracy within 0.5 frames over 24 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports multiple timecode modes for flexible production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports common video production frame rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered directly from the connected Zoom host unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight design for field recording and production setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with H6studio, H5studio, H6essential, H4essential, H2essential, and F3 recorders with required firmware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zoom H6studio \/ H5studio \/ H6essential \/ H4essential \/ H2essential \/ F3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Requires latest firmware version on compatible devices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cannot be used with the BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTimecode\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5mm stereo mini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Off, Int Free Run, Int Rec Run, Time of Day, Ext, Ext Auto Rec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23.976 NDF, 24 NDF, 25 NDF, 29.97 NDF, 29.97 DF, 30 NDF, 30 DF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision\u003c\/strong\u003e: ±0.2 ppm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllowed Input Level\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 - 5.0 Vpp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 kΩ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Level\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.3 Vpp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 Ω or less\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInputs\/Outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1x Zoom Remote Male\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1x 3.5mm Female\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e: DC 3.3V, supplied from connected host unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePhysical\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not specified by manufacturer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.7\" x 0.7\" x 0.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.085 lb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.95\" x 3.85\" x 0.6\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoom TCA-1 Timecode Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zoom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46218242916549,"sku":"ZOOM-TCA1-ZTCA1","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-zoom-ztca-1_56bf2843-a5ed-4679-b4e0-1030a9eb2215.jpg?v=1778713497","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/zoom-tca-1-timecode-adapter","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
