EPIC to Denecke TS-C slate

[Andrew Burhoe]

Hey there everyone.

So I have a Deneke slate and just saw that my 5pin lemo won't connect. fun.

So my question is where can I purchase a 5pin to 4pin lemo cable?

You need this for Epic:

+ a Deneke to BNC cable.

[Greg M]

EPIC to Denecke TS-C slate

Okay. I posted a thread asking where to find a 4pin to 5pin lemo. No luck.

However if you check BHphoto's confusing way of organizing things you'll find what you need.

4pin lemo to 3pin XLR female connected to a 3pin XLR male to 5pin Lemo.

Here is what I found and I think it should work out.

Turns out after an hour on BHphotovideo I found the solution.

The Denecke slates take in a 1/4" mono phone plug, including the TS-2, TS-3, and TS-C. I thought the output of a Red camera was a standard 5-pin Lemo connector. The TS-C is unusual in that it has both a Lemo input and a 1/4" input, but I've only ever used the latter. (The 1/4" connectors cost 1/10th as much and are more durable.)

One great source that will make you a custom cable from 5-pin Lemo to 1/4" is Wilcox Sound in Burbank, at (818) 504-0507. Great people. They made a very nice SB-T -> Red timecode jam cable for me, and were thoughtful enough to make it just the right length (and using a "red" cable, which I thought was a nice touch). Good people.

Important safety tip: I make it a point not to set the slate in auto, but instead specifically set it for the mode I want, typically 23.98. I find there's far fewer problems, especially when you run into different time code audio level outputs, which sometimes range from 1V to 3V.

Yes it is. But this may sound stupid, but in this case we went there. I'm just in a hurry looking for a solution. Didn't mean to have others go, "Dear god this kid is dumb."
