AtomX UltraSync BLUE

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.

AtomX Sync
The new AtomX SYNC module brings wireless timecode, sync and control technology to the Ninja V. It connects multiple Ninja Vs, cameras and audio recorders using reliable long range RF wireless technology patented by Timecode Systems. At the same time it can also bring other devices into the synchronised system via Bluetooth. On iPhone and iPad this works with apps like Apogee’s Meta­Recorder audio recorder, Mavis Pro camera and MovieSlate8 logging . It is also compatible with professional audio recorders like the Zoom F6 and F8n.

Lose the wires, keep the Sync
Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with compatible devices

• Range is approximately 10–15m (line of sight)
• Pair up to 6 devices to each AtomX SYNC
• Mavis Pro – iOS pro video camera app
• Apogee MetaRecorder – iOS based pro audio recorder app
• MovieSlate8 Pro – iOS advanced timecode slate and content logging app
• Softron Movie Recorder – MacOS based video recorder app
• UltraSync Blue Slate– free iOS timecode slate app

Continuous power your Ninja V**
The AtomX SYNC module clips in-between the Ninja V and your battery using the AtomX expansion system. With a small battery inside it also acts as a hot swap continuous power battery extender, allowing you to keep your Ninja V running for approximately 5 minutes while you change the main battery.

Give your HDMI camera professional Sync
Use AtomX SYNC to bring your HDMI camera into a professional multi-camera production, then have all your footage instantly synchronized when you come to edit it – no more time wasted trying to align clips or running additional software. With the AtomX SYNC module you can guarantee your video and audio sources all match up perfectly every time.

Robust network technology – proven in Hollywood
Using the same technology used on major motion pictures you can now connect multiple AtomX SYNC enabled Ninja V units to form a single network. Get frame accurate control of start/stop and timecode, all controlled from a master Ninja V at your fingertips. Each file recorded will not only be perfectly synced, they will all be exactly the same length too. In addition, each Ninja V on the network can also guarantee accurate sync via Bluetooth to an additional five devices. The Master Ninja V is also able to synchronise with any number of Timecode Systems sync devices, which allow connection to other cameras, sound mixers and sources.

One master – many slaves
Operating within the 200m+ RF network all AtomX SYNC units communicate directly with the master. When a device goes out of range it maintains time accurate clock for as long as possible using its internal processor. Once the unit comes back into range of the network it seamlessly re-joins it. This makes AtomX SYNC perfect for multi-cam large event, sports and venue coverage.

Calibrated Analogue Audio delay
Great video can be let down by poor quality audio or a limited number of audio inputs available. The Ninja V is a great way to provide an additional two channels of analogue audio via its 3.5mm mic input.

When combining HDMI video with audio from an external source running directly into the recorder’s mic input existing users will know that they need to set up an audio off-set delay in their Ninja V menu. This is a case of trial and error to get perfect lipsync between the two sources. Now, the AtomX SYNC can calibrate this for you automatically. It works out the difference between the HDMI embedded audio and the external audio input for your specific camera setup. The process takes less than 2 seconds and once done there is no more guessing or lipsync errors.
