A simple, cost-efficient multi-camera sync solution
Small and offering multiple mounting options, the :mini trx+ is suitable for use on everything from a large-scale film camera to a DSLR. It’s the perfect timecode partner to a :wave or :pulse on a multi-camera shoot.
The :minitrx+ is the smallest timecode, genlock and word clock generator on the market, but it’s not just its proportions that make it stand out. As a BLINK enabled device, when used in combination with a :pulse or :wave, you can remotely view, monitor and control multiple :minitrx+ units from any smartphone, tablet or computer, making it a great solution for multi-camera shoots.
Ultra compact and lightweight
Measuring just 29mm x 44mm x 70mm and weighing only 138g, the :minitrx+ is perfectly proportioned to attach to any camera.
In addition, an aluminium anodised bracket connector block with multiple quarter-inch threaded mounting holes and a detachable hot-shoe mount allows for a solid and flexible mounting solution.
Enhanced features
Synchronisation between units is via BLINK RF – a wireless long-range sync, control and metadata exchange protocol operating in the uncongested range of 865MHz to 923MHz. This ensures complete reliability, wherever you are, and zero drift between units even on a long and complicated shoot day.
Use the :minitrx+ in conjunction with a :wave or :pulse to connect to the BLINK Hub app production dashboard. This unlocks the advanced capability to view, monitor and control multiple :minitrx+ units centrally from any smartphone (iOS or Android), tablet or computer.
