Last week, we left off on the topic of staying in sync. While this generally refers to audio keeping sync with what’s happening on screen, we’re talking about timecode sync here.
The Syncbox can handle audio recorded at all standard frequencies including 44.1, 48, 96, and 192 KHz. Fortunately, it can handle any standard time code and frame rates. And even if the frame rate changes from take to take, you can cross jam the signal despite the incoming frame rate.
It also acts as a stand-alone timecode generator if that’s what you need it for.
Never start a long, complicated shoot without the requisite amount of Syncboxes!

And this concludes our four-part miniseries on how the Atlantic crew pulled off a technically complicated broadcast shoot. And don’t forget the work it took to write it! We laughed, we cried (many tears), and we even broke out into song a few times. You can be assured that Ice Cube cameras (stealthily placed throughout our office) recorded it, and the footage was sent wireless via Teradeks to monitors in the executive producer’s office, who was backing up said shenanigans to a KiPro in real time. We stayed in perfect sync/harmony using our beloved Syncboxes. So…stay tuned for the inevitably embarrassing edit, coming soon to a VOD platform near you.
