Software and tools

Download Protern apps

This page is for installing and updating Protern software.

If you are new to Protern, you do not need to download everything listed here. Most users only need one or two apps, depending on how they capture data and video.

Below you will find the current, supported Protern apps, followed by older tools that are no longer supported but remain available for existing users.

If you are unsure which app you need, please visit our support site for guidance.

Mobile data capture and review

Protern Sync (Mobile)

Protern Sync for mobile is used to sync sensor data on the go and to view performance data during training.

It is useful for single day sessions, on-hill timing or when working away from a computer.

Fast data transfer and management

Protern Sync (Desktop)

Protern Sync for desktop is the fastest and most reliable way to sync large numbers of sensors or data from multiple days.

It is typically used after training sessions with many runs or many athletes.

Protern Video is used to review and analyze video together with Protern performance data.

It automatically links video to athletes and runs as part of the Protern system.

It outputs LTC timecode from a phone to a video camera for video synchronization.
