It offers a wide range of timecode sync options, including HDMI I/O, dedicated 3.5mm TC I/O, a 3.5mm camera TC out, and wireless sync with Atomos via Bluetooth (optional AK-BT2 adapter required). With these features, the FR-AV4 integrates seamlessly into any video workflow.
Rugged, Portable and Production Ready
