:pulse Multi-Functional Timecode, Metadata Hub & Device Control Center
At the heart of our workflow, the :pulse is a timecode generator, metadata hub and device control center. Offering sync and control in one device, it's made for multicamera.
• Highly accurate timecode, genlock and word clock generator
• BLINK enabled master or slave
• Zero drift between units using long range BLINK RF
• Simultaneous RF, Wi-Fi, Ethernet & DATA port connectivity
• Multicamera wireless monitor & control via BLINK Hub
The mini base station
Providing flawless sync and remote device control in one compact product, the :pulse is Timecode Systems' most sophisticated workflow solution yet. In its simplest form, the :pulse is a highly accurate timecode, genlock and word clock generator with an integrated RF transceiver and simultaneous Wi-Fi. But it does much more. The addition of an ethernet port combined with the power of the BLINK protocol, creates a powerful hub for not only timecode and metadata exchange, but also for wirelessly controlling devices on multi-camera shoots.
In a multi-camera or VR environment, having this level of central control of all of the timecode, camera and audio devices on set means the :pulse can considerably streamline the production workflow, saving time and money at the point of shooting and in post-production.
Wireless device control
Use the :pulse to connect to the BLINK Hub production dashboard, to unlock the advanced capability to view, monitor and control Timecode Systems' BLINK enabled devices and compatible camera and audio devices (e.g. GoPro HERO4 Black and Silver cameras and Sound Devices 6-Series mixer/recorders) from any smartphone, tablet or computer.
Users can hit record, pause the action, monitor battery levels and keep a close eye on sync status, conveniently from a simple dashboard accessed from any smartphone (iOS or Android), tablet or Mac computer over Wi-Fi or through a wired ethernet connection into the :pulse.
User friendly features
BLINK RF
Synchronization between units is via BLINK RF - a wireless long-range sync, control and metadata exchange protocol operating in the uncongested range of 865MHz to 923MHz. This ensures complete reliability, wherever you are and zero drift between units even on a long and complicated shoot day.
Compact & versatile
The :pulse is small (94mm x 67mm x 23mm), has a solid aluminum casing and features a high resolution blue OLED display, flexible mounting methods and multiple powering options (5V micro USB connector, LEMO2 9-36V DC plus internal back up battery).
Battery back-up
The large capacity Li-Polymer internal battery is constantly charged from any power input and is designed to run the unit for a minimum of 3-4 hours with RF, Wi-Fi and Ethernet switched on, making it perfect for camera battery swaps or location moves.
SyncBac PRO Wireless, Embedded Timecode Sync System
Shoot in sync
Now we're making it simple, efficient and cost-effective to integrate GoPro HERO6 cameras into professional production workflows too. Our new SyncBac PRO for GoPro HERO6 brings the power of wireless synchronization and multicamera control to GoPro's newest generation of cameras. This enables the camera to generate frame-accurate timecode, producing a timecoded MP4 file at source.
• Custom design for GoPro HERO6 Black cameras
• Use the cable and backdoor frame provided to connect your camera to the USB-C sync port on the SyncBac PRO
• Produces a timecoded MP4 file at source
• Wirelessly timecode sync multiple GoPros and GoPros with pro cameras and pro audio devices over Timecode Systems' long-range BLINK RF
• Allows easy integration of GoPro footage into professional production and postproduction workflows
• Compatible with BLINK Hub to enable convenient control of sync and multiple cameras from a smartphone, tablet or Mac
With the HERO6, GoPro has added features that considerably advance camera performance and image quality, which increases the appeal of using GoPro cameras for professional filming for television and film. SyncBac PRO further enhances the camera's compatibility with professional production methods by adding the ability to integrate footage into a multicamera film and broadcast workflow in the same way as larger-scale professional cameras. SyncBac PRO is much more than a timecode generator for GoPros. Connect to the BLINK Hub app to status monitor, control and customize the settings of a whole army of GoPro cameras remotely from any smartphone, tablet or Mac.
