Sony VMC-BNCU1 Timecode Adapter Cable for FX5
Dedicated USB-C to BNC Adapter Cable – Multi-Camera Timecode Synchronization for FX5 Cinema Camera

The Sony VMC-BNCU1 Timecode Adapter Cable is an essential studio and field accessory engineered to bring timecode synchronization to the Sony FX5 Cinema Camera. Measuring 7.9 inches in length, this compact adapter cable provides a bridge between the FX5 and external master timecode generators, audio recorders, or multi-camera sync setups.

Featuring a male USB-C connector on one end that plugs directly into the FX5 camera body and a standard female BNC connector on the other, the VMC-BNCU1 enables seamless Jam-Sync with external timecode sources. This ensures precise, frame-accurate synchronization across multi-camera shoots, simplifying post-production alignment and streamlining professional editorial workflows for documentary, commercial, and narrative cinema productions.

Jason Y. ★★★★★

Finally got rid of timecode drift across my three FX6 rigs; this cable locks onto the master signal instantly and the USB-C connector is nice and snug. It's a no-brainer for anyone doing multi-cam gigs.

Victoria W. ★★★★★

Picked this up for a multi-cam shoot with my FX6, and the timecode sync locked in instantly with zero drift over a two-hour session. The locking BNC connector gives a reassuringly solid click—no risk of it coming loose mid-take. Saves a ton of hassle compared to wireless options.

Olivia ★★★★★

The USB-C connection on this cable feels solid and snug—no wobble at all when plugged into my FX5. Timecode sync across two cameras was instant and stable during a multicam shoot. Exactly what I needed for reliable multi-camera work.
