At NAB2016, Timecode Systems Limited are showcasing a very exciting technology that allows GoPro users (specifically HERO4 Black and Silver) the ability to generate frame accurate timecode. The SyncBac PRO is exactly what the name describes- the capability to provide timecode over long range RF to multiple GoPros and pro cameras and pro audio devices in syncing back and producing a single file with timecode. The workflow is as simple as it comes, SyncBac PRO clips onto the HERO4 Silver and Black via a 30 pin port- there is no need for external connectors, hit the switch on and run timecode, remove the SD card from the GoPro and send it to post production! The amount of time saved in the edit suite and the budget savings alone is a huge advantage to this nice little product.
“Until now, all we could do was advise production houses to visually slate using a digislate – it was a decent workaround, but it wasn’t the seamless solution productions craved,” said Paul Scurrell, CEO of Timecode Systems Limited. “What they really wanted was timecode generated at source, synced over long range RF, producing a single file with timecode embedded that post production can work with in exactly the same way as media extracted from more traditional professional cameras and audio equipment. This is exactly what we’ve delivered with the SyncBac PRO.”
The B:LINK Hub is also a powerful new feature that creates the ultimate timecode and metadata mini base station. Connect the SyncBac PRO to the B:LINK Hub dashboard via :pulse, and the users can not only view and monitor the status, but it unlocks the menus options to adjust the cameras settings, record start/stop remotely and control multiple GoPros from any smartphone, tablet, Mac® or PC!
