It all started here
The original IABM Award Winning product. Adding WiFi connectivity to this super accurate timecode and genlock generator with built in long range RF transceiver, launched a new generation of workflow management. It provided not only a real world technical solution, but also a production solution too. For the first time ever, broadcast professionals could stream sample accurate timecode over WiFi to multiple iPhones, iPads or iPod Touches. This gives everyone on location or set, access to the same perfectly synced timecode from their personal iOS device.
WiFi connectivity
Each wifi master creates its own WiFi network. Anyone on set with an iPhone or iPad can use the free Timecode Buddy: app, MovieSlate app or Adobe Prelude Live Logger app to wirelessly stream and display real-time SMPTE timecode directly to their iOS device.
All this is in addition to the long range and robust RF wireless sync network.
