Timecode Systems
Ships UltraSync ONE
The latest addition to the wireless sync units from
Timecode Systems is the UltraSync ONE...

T

imecode Systems Limited has
announced that the first UltraSync
ONE wireless sync units have been
released for shipping and will shortly
be available from the company's
resellers around the world.
Since unveiling UltraSync ONE at
the 2017 NAB Show in April, Timecode
Systems has been inundated with preorders from broadcast professionals
enthusiastic to be first in line to use its
new wireless workflow solution. With
stock arriving across the company's
network of dealers in the next few
days, the first UltraSync ONE units will
be hitting television studios and film
locations imminently, revealing the
true power of this small-but-mighty
wireless sync solution.
UltraSync ONE is the latest addition
to Timecode Systems' range of
timecode generators and transceivers.
Measuring 55mm x 44mm x 17mm,
weighing only 39g and with a battery
life of more than 25 hours, it is
designed to provide hassle-free sync
even on the longest shooting days.
And priced at just £240 (US$299 or
€279,) it is the smallest, most costeffective generator and transceiver
on the market to provide timecode,
genlock for camera sync, and word
clock for sound.
Multicamera Filming
With the demands of multicamera
filming driving the requirement for
more than just timecode to guarantee
a reliable sync, Timecode Systems
treats genlock and word clock as a
necessity for filming today, rather
than a luxury that comes with a hefty
price tag. UltraSync ONE is the only
product in the world of its size and
price point to have a genlock and
word clock sync output in addition to
timecode.
"You should have seen the sound
engineers' eyes light up when we
unveiled the full feature set of the
UltraSync ONE at the 2017 NAB Show,"
said Paul Bannister, Chief Science
Officer for Timecode Systems Limited.
"The moment they realise that it is
not just small and cost-effective, but
also has the added sync power of

genlock and word clock in addition
to timecode, they are sold. And
being so small and
lightweight,
it's
destined to be a
hit with the camera
operators too."
Time & Cost Saving
But it's not just the camera
operators and sound mixers at the
point of acquisition applauding the
arrival of the UltraSync ONE; the huge
time and cost savings experienced
down the line in post-production
will really make the difference.
UltraSync ONE earned
an honourable mention
from the panel of
judges for the Post
Production Technology
category of the Cine Gear Expo 2017
Technical Awards in recognition of
the huge benefits it offers for edit
workflows. Thousands of hours of
content can be recorded during the
course of filming a multicamera
television series. UltraSync ONE
makes it easy to capture, log, search,
and synchronise this content,
delivering significant time and cost
savings throughout the production
process, from acquisition through to
post-production.
"We're thrilled that UltraSync ONE
was recognised by the CineGear
judges for its impact on post-

production workflows," said Paul
Scurrell, CEO of Timecode Systems
Limited. "We've worked closely with
a number of production teams who
have adopted our system, and what
we're consistently hearing is complete
amazement at just how much time it
is saving them when the footage gets
to the edit suite. It's not a few hours
saved; it's often days or even weeks
of edit time. Coming from a television
production background, I'm always so
excited to see any technical solution
that allows genuine cost and time
savings - putting 'more money on the
screen,' as we used to say, rather than
wasting resources on pointless manual
edit tasks. With UltraSync ONE, we're
making the power of our wireless sync
an even more affordable solution for
multicamera production teams."
Online Store
To coincide with the release of
UltraSync ONE, the company is also
opening the doors of its own Timecode
Systems online store for UK and
European customers. This gives users
who don't have local connections
with dealers an alternative place to
purchase Timecode Systems products.

ONE, a full list of resellers, and access
