Timecode Systems at IBC

Timecode Systems will launch their B:LINK network that augments their wirelessly shared timecode system. The proprietary B:LINK RF network keeps the same incredibly accurate wireless sync over the robust sub GHz ISM bands, but adds enhanced two-way multiplexed status/control and metadata. This allows for complete monitoring and control of all connected “B:LINK-enabled” Timecode Systems’ devices and is built to allow for long-range remote control and status of any connected third-party accessories.

More and more content being is being shot on consumer-level kit such as smart phones and wearable cameras, supplementing professional cameras and separate ISO audio. This blending of consumer and professional content is particularly prevalent on social media channels but is also finding its way into mainstream media outlets.

I’m a big fan of 4K. It offers loads more longer term appeal than 3D ever did. I think it’s overrated on smaller monitors, but for larger monitors viewed relatively closely, it looks a million dollars. I also think that advancements such as 4K help to keep the production and creative values high within the industry – because to make the most of such formats, high quality kit with high caliber creative talent is needed.

I always like to keep up with the latest offerings from a selection of camera and audio manufacturers, as well as the latest advances with Post Production. We, at Timecode Systems, need to make sure we’re in tune with the whole production process from end to end to ensure we can continue to deliver genuine enhancements to our customer’s workflow.
