The CLKTCD15 was the 15-inch timecode-driven clock in Masterclock's retired CLKTCD range. For new installations of a similar size with IRIG-B/SMPTE input, Daylight bv points to the TCDS46 (10.2 cm digits) as the logical current replacement. Similar visibility and functionality, current electronics and the full 5-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Is the CLKTCD15 still available?
No, retired. The TCDS46 is the logical replacement for medium-sized spaces with timecode input. For exact mapping based on your existing installation, contact Daylight bv.
Which timecode did the CLKTCD15 support?
SMPTE, EBU and IRIG-B, similar to the current TCDS range. The replacement is functionally transparent.
Does the TCDS46 fit the same wall arrangement?
The TCDS46 has its own case shape and mounting pattern that may differ slightly from the CLKTCD15. Ask Daylight bv for exact dimensions and mounting options for your replacement project.
Why order from Daylight bv rather than directly from Masterclock?
Daylight bv has been the authorised Masterclock distributor since 2014. You get invoicing in EUR with Belgian VAT, local support in Dutch, French or English, on-site service by prior arrangement and no complications with customs or US imports.
