We're working on it...

We strive to provide products that offer the most accurate and reliable timecode solutions on the market. Unfortunately, from time to time things go wrong, and when this happens we work hard to provide solutions as quickly as possible.

On this page, we share known faults that our development team are currently working on, along with suggestions on how to avoid these issues occurring or to minimise the impact caused by a fault until an update is released.

We encourage all users to report any issues with our system as soon as they are noticed. You can report a fault using the link on this page, which will ensure it is flagged with our development team promptly.

UltraSync ONE

UltraSync ONE

"***Device Fault***" error

An intermittent issue was causing ***Device Fault*** to appear on the UltraSync ONE screen.

When this happens, the unit becomes unresponsive and all menu operation halts. Although the device can neither receive nor transmit timecode over RF when this occurs, it will continue to free run, so timecode continues to roll and sync remains accurate.

This issue has been resolved

New firmware v2.09 (released January 2019) has addressed this issue.
In firmware v2.09 we have added a background feature to log any fault condition, which will assist with the diagnosis of hardware fault errors. Additional routines have also been added to reduce the possibility of system freeze occurring from a fault connection.

If you are using an earlier firmware version and experience the above error, resetting the unit will resolve this and restore complete functionality of the UltraSync ONE. So when there is an appropriate break in filming, we advise to reset the faulty unit by pressing down the ‘up’ and ‘down’ keys together and holding for 10 seconds. Please be aware doing this will reset the timecode to zero. If this unit is a slave, it will re-sync to its master when in RF range. If the faulty unit is a master, please ensure slaves units are in range when you reset to ensure accuracy is maintained across your sync network. Please ensure you then update to the latest firmware version as soon as possible.
