UltraSync ONE provides a compact, lightweight solution for reliable timecode and sync in multicamera and mixed-device shoots. You can configure it as a transmitter (timecode server) or as a receiver (client device). It integrates timecode, genlock and word clock features in a single small unit and supports long battery life for full shooting days.
Although small in size, the UltraSync ONE delivers highly accurate wireless timecode, genlock and word clock outputs. You can set the unit to generate timecode internally or to follow external timecode. The SYNC port provides a second LTC, genlock or word clock output as needed. Alternatively, you can jam to house timecode or an outside broadcast truck. The UltraSync ONE can feed timecode to any device with an LTC input, and it can also record mic-level audio timecode onto a spare audio track for devices that do not accept LTC.
The device uses an uncongested sub-GHz RF network to guarantee accurate synchronization across a wide area. The RF link supports a range of up to 200m. If a receiving device moves outside that range, it will free-run reliably until it returns to range of a transmitting unit. Because the RF is bi-directional, you can monitor and control units via Timecode Systems’ BLINK Hub app when the UltraSync ONE is in timecode receive mode and paired to a transmitting Timecode Systems’ :pulse or an Atomos AtomX SYNC module attached to a Ninja V.
UltraSync ONE offers 25 hours of battery life from a single charge. That figure applies with RF, genlock and the OLED display all running at full capacity. This extended runtime helps ensure the unit will last through the longest shooting day while remaining small and lightweight.
The unit features a 128 x 32 high-resolution OLED display for clear status information. It uses professional locking miniature COAX connectors for timecode IN/OUT and Genlock & Wordclock OUT. A USB-C connector handles firmware updates and battery charging. The unit also includes concealed internal diversity antennas to maintain stable RF performance in a compact package.
UltraSync ONE adapts to many workflows. Use it in multicamera environments for timecode and genlock, incorporate it into a VR rig, or sync DSLRs and other devices. The RF network places no restrictions on product combinations: you can sync multiple UltraSync ONE units together or expand the network with other Timecode Systems products. The Atomos AtomX SYNC module works on the same RF network, enabling wireless timecode sync for Ninja V recorders alongside cameras and sound recorders on set.

Question: How do I use the UltraSync ONE as a timecode transmitter or receiver?
Answer: You can configure the UltraSync ONE to act either as a timecode server (transmitter) or as a client (receiver). Set the transmitter to generate internal timecode or to follow external timecode sources. When used as a receiver, it can follow a transmitting unit over the RF network and also be monitored or controlled via the BLINK Hub app if paired with a :pulse or AtomX SYNC module.
Question: What connectivity and outputs does the UltraSync ONE provide?
Answer: The unit supplies professional locking miniature COAX connectors for timecode IN/OUT and Genlock & Wordclock OUT. A SYNC port offers a second LTC, genlock or word clock output. It also includes a USB-C connector for firmware updates and battery charging.
Question: Will UltraSync ONE work with my Ninja V or other Timecode Systems products?
Answer: Yes. UltraSync ONE is compatible with the Atomos AtomX SYNC module for Ninja V. It is also compatible with Timecode Systems UltraSync BLUE, SyncBac PRO and legacy Timecode Systems products, allowing you to build or expand your wireless timecode network.
Question: How reliable is synchronization in the field, and what happens if devices move out of range?
Answer: The sub-GHz RF network provides reliable synchronization up to 200m. If a receiver goes out of range, it will free-run accurately until it returns to range of the transmitter, preserving sync continuity during temporary signal loss.
Question: Can UltraSync ONE provide timecode to devices that do not accept LTC?
Answer: Yes. In addition to LTC output, UltraSync ONE can record mic-level audio timecode onto a spare audio track for devices that cannot accept an LTC input.
