[How To] How to Set Up Timecode on the RED KOMODO 6K

Jam-sync the RED KOMODO 6K with a Deity TC-1 over BNC and set the camera to read external timecode.

The RED KOMODO 6K accepts external timecode over its BNC connection, so a Deity TC-1 can jam-sync it directly. This guide covers the cable, the frame rate match, and the KOMODO menu settings for reading synced timecode.

RED KOMODO 6K 9-pin timecode input

Step #1

First things first, grab a 9-Pin Timecode to 3.5 TRS cable. Next, locate the Timecode Port on the back left of the camera and plug it in.

Step #2

Really quickly, confirm your frame rate, in this case I’m using “23.98.

On your TC-1, scroll over to the frame rate section and match it to the camera.
