TimeLink LTC Generator

Video Camera Timecode Sync for Performance Analysis

The TimeLink LTC Generator is compact and rechargeable. It produces linear timecode (LTC) through your video camera’s microphone input. It is designed specifically for sport, making it easy to sync video footage with sensor data in any performance environment.

TimeLink helps connect video and data with frame-level precision. It simplifies the process, saves time during review, and fits into your existing workflow. TimeLink is fully compatible with Protern Video, and can be used with any video analysis platform that supports audio timecode including Dartfish.

TimeLink works natively with Protern Video, giving coaches access to:

Multi-camera shoots stay in sync

A typical race day might use an on-hill fixed camera and a drone overhead. Stamp each camera’s audio track with TimeLink and every clip carries a matching timecode. Import the clips into Protern Video and they align automatically, no clapperboard and no waveform matching.
