New NTP/LTC converter: your timecode becomes network time, and back

Published October 29, 2026

The NTP/LTC converter has been redesigned and now works both ways. In LTC → NTP mode it reads the LTC timecode already running in the studio and answers clocks, PCs and servers on the network as a stratum 1 NTP server; in NTP → LTC mode it generates a continuous LTC from an NTP server; AUTO mode picks the source by itself and never interrupts the output.

Digital LTC input and output on XLR, automatic format detection from 23.976 to 30 fps, Power over Ethernet, OLED display with three buttons and a web interface. It also works on isolated networks with no Internet or router, and if the LTC is missing it stops giving the time rather than giving a wrong one.

TVI - TV Insert: the new OSD platform for live video

Published July 26, 2026

The new version of TVI is now available, designed to overlay clocks, timers, countdowns and SMPTE timecode onto a live video signal. Hardware passthrough keeps the video path independent from the OSD, while NTP/LTC synchronization, the web dashboard and dedicated watchdogs provide immediate control and automatic recovery.

The new page includes video demonstrations, device images, complete technical specifications, a PDF data sheet and the user manual.

Advantages of WiFi Synchronization of Clocks in TV Direction

Published August 15, 2024

Precise synchronization of clocks is critical in a television studio to ensure proper coordination between audio and video signals during broadcasts. WiFi technology offers several key advantages:

1. Greater placement flexibility: clocks can be placed freely without wiring constraints, facilitating rapid reconfiguration of the studio for different productions.

2. Reduction of cables and footprint: eliminating Ethernet cables simplifies installation, improves safety by reducing tripping hazards, and creates a neater, more professional work environment.

3. Easy integration with mobile devices: staff can access timing information on their smartphones or tablets, improving coordination and efficiency during productions.
