Using Timecode on the RED KOMODO 6K and KOMODO X With Wireless PRO

Released 03 Oct 2023, Last Updated 05 Oct 2023


In this article, we’ll walk you through how to set up timecode on your RED KOMODO 6K or KOMODO X with the Wireless PRO. To record timecode to the RED KOMODO, you’ll need a 3.5mm-to-9-pin timecode adaptor cable.

Step 1

Connect your Wireless PRO receiver to a computer or phone running RØDE Central.


Step 2

Enable timecode and select the framerate you’re shooting in. Toggle ‘Real time’ on then click ‘Timecode Modes’, choose ‘Timecode 5’ and click ‘Apply’. Check that the output gain is set to 0dB to ensure your camera detects the timecode signal.

Ensure your camera’s framerate matches the one you just set for your timecode.


Step 4

Go to the 'Audio / TC’ menu, then ‘Timecode Source’, and select ‘External’.

As soon as it’s connected, you will see the timecode on your camera jump to match the timecode set by the Wireless PRO and your camera will now be recording timecode to the metadata of its video files. You can follow our guides linked in the description for how to use your editing software to synchronise your footage using timecode in post-production.
