I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
UltraSync BLUE is the first product from Timecode Systems to use Bluetooth®pairing to connect and synchronise compatible recording devices. Once connected, timecode is transmitted wirelessly from the UltraSync BLUE directly into the media file of a connected device. There are no cables and no mounting issues, giving more freedom to shoot from creative angles with smaller, more mobile cameras. By removing the restrictions of a wired connection, crews not only gain extra convenience, they also get even more versatility to choose how they sync. Use a single UltraSync BLUE unit to sync up to four recording devices shooting in close range over Bluetooth®. Or alternatively, connect the UltraSync BLUE to a Timecode Systems RF network and sync to other camera and audio recorders using Timecode Systems units on the same channel. It can even sync iPhones, providing an efficient way to integrate iPhone footage into professional shoots. The MAVIS professional camera app and Apogee’s MetaRecorder app(both for iPhone) are fully compatible with UltraSync BLUE. For the first time, there is a way to sync iPhones professionally, with sub-frame accuracy.
For simple shoots:
A unique feature Timecode Systems has added to the UltraSync BLUE is the option to use a single unit to sync up to four recording devices shooting in close range (less than 10 metres) over Bluetooth® .
When shoots aren't straightforward:
The UltraSync BLUE is designed to work seamlessly with the rest of the Timecode Systems product range. For more complicated shoots and sprawling filming locations, or where a variety of professional equipment is recording, you can connect the UltraSync BLUE to yourdevice over Bluetooth® and then sync over robust, long-range RF to other camera and audio recorders using Timecode Systems units.
Sync for iPhones:
UltraSync BLUE works in conjunction with the MAVIS pro camera app and Apogee’s MetaRecorder audio recorder app. Simply pair an UltraSync BLUE with an iPhone over Bluetooth®. This enables frame-accurate timecode to transmit wirelessly from the UltraSync BLUE to the connected iPhone. This metadata is embedded directly into media files generated from video shot on the MAVIS app or sound captured on MetaRecorder.
Small, lightweight & affordable:
UltraSync BLUE is 42mm x 36mm x 17mm, weighs only 36g, features a high resolution blue OLED display, and costs £125 | $179 | €149. It’s designed to be user-friendly, discreet and unobtrusive to filming.
Connect to the BLINK Hub app:
Use a :pulse as the timecode master toconnect the UltraSync BLUE to the free BLINK Hub app. This unlocks the advanced capability to view, status monitor and control the UltraSync BLUE as part of a Timecode Systems workflow.
