Unleash your creativity.

UltraSync BLUE is simple, low-cost, and has the potential to synchronise any compatible camera or sound recording device with Bluetooth® connectivity. There are no cables to worry about, giving you more freedom to shoot from creative angles with smaller, more mobile cameras. It can even sync iPhones.

UltraSync BLUE is our first product to synchronise timecode over Bluetooth® to an expanding range of compatible cameras, audio recorders and apps, which have implmented our timecode over Bluetooth® protocol. Once connected, timecode is transmitted wirelessly from the UltraSync BLUE directly into the embedded media file of connected devices. By removing the restrictions of a wired connection, crews not only benefit from extra convenience, but also get even more versatility to choose how they sync. Use a single UltraSync BLUE unit to sync up to six recording devices shooting in close range over Bluetooth®. Or uniquely, also connect the UltraSync BLUE to a Timecode Systems long-range RF network and sync to other camera and audio recorders using Timecode Systems units on the same channel. A perfect combination of using two wireless technologies together to create a flexible and scalable sync system.

  • A patented, timing protocol delivers unparalleled accuracy for the exchange of timecode over Bluetooth®.
  • After first set-up, UltraSync BLUE automatically recognises your device.
  • Use one UltraSync BLUE to feed frame-accurate timecode to up to six devices filming in close range (up to 10m) over Bluetooth®.
  • Or, use long-range RF to sync multiple UltraSync BLUEs, or to sync to other Timecode Systems products.
  • Timecode is embedded into the media file and automatically recognised by professional NLEs.

Can I sync my iPhone?

iPhones are a low-cost and effective way to capture video content and add additional camera angles to a shoot. But without accurate timecode, editing together footage from multiple iPhones takes a huge amount of time and effort because aligning the recordings so they are synchronised is an awkward, manual process.

UltraSync BLUE makes it simple to accurately combine, align and edit video and audio content recorded on iPhones into high quality, multicamera content.

Fast set-up. Hassle-free sync

UltraSync BLUE is 55mm x 44mm x 17mm, weighs only 36g and costs £125 | $179 | €149. It’s designed to be user-friendly, discreet and unobtrusive to filming. It also:

• Remembers paired devices (unless you instruct it to ‘forget’), so after initial set-up, you’ll be ready to record straight away.
• Has an intuitive, on-screen menu so you can to set up your sync simply, without having to load a separate app.
• Stays in sync without re-jamming. Once the green light is flashing and timecode is running on the display, you can put the UltraSync BLUE to one side and focus on capturing great content, confident that sync is one less thing to worry about.

Who needs it?

Whether you’re filming a wedding, a vlog, an independent film, the news, a reality show, television documentary, or even a feature film, the UltraSync BLUE offers the power of professional sync in a compact, wireless product that’s small enough to fit in your pocket and affordable enough to be used on any type of production.

For professional crews
