Finally an ergonomically sane choice for mounting Time Code readouts on the front of an ENG / Documentary style audio production bag. With both internal rechargeable batteries and a standard external 4 pin hirose this unit is very power friendly! It auto detects TC frame rates and sync's with anything between 23.976 to 30 fps both drop and non-drop.
In my case I'm powering it along with my Sound Devices 442/702T on a dedicated BDSv4u / NP1 and my rf's are powered by a BDSv3 / NP1. That gives me maximum isolation of RF bleed while at the same time allowing me to tailor the power consumption a bit more.
The Betso has a very easy menu system that allows you to very quickly raise/lower the brightness by simply pushing the arrows you see to the right while in TC mode. It has 5 brightness levels depending on your situation. You can also tailor the display to save power by dimming and popping every 2nd, 5th or 10th frame. Nice!
