Timecode Systems have teamed up with VideoToolShed to create LTC Convert; software that simplifies multi-camera AUX timecode synchronization. DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras are prevalent in any type of video production, AV setup and even broadcasting. However, due to their nature of being “not true video cameras”, getting them all in sync has remained a problem, especially without timecode, clean audio or a clapper board. Timecode Systems UltraSync ONE has simplified that workflow by integrating AUX timecode into audio tracks. VideoToolShed have collaborated with Timecode Systems and created the LTC Convert software to streamline the video and audio synchronization process, as well as re-wrapping sequences in edit-friendly formats. The company Tentacle Sync, who we have reported about before, is tackling the same problem with their tiny timecode boxes and software solution, just like Ambient is with their Lockit devices. Generating Embedded Timecode With UltraSync One The UltraSync ONE can keep multiple devices synced to timecode. Step one of getting the multiple video and audio sources in sync is with the Timecode Systems UltraSync ONE, which generates an AUX timecode that is embedded into an audio track in the file. Multiple devices can be connected over long range RF, all running the same timecode that can be synced in post production later. The challenge then comes when all of the media is collated; how to accurately sync all of the devices with timecode (rather than other applications that are based on audio waveform). The collaboration between VideoToolShed and Timecode Systems has lead...
