The Wireless PRO Timecode system has been meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with the well-established SMPTE timecode standard. This standard has been a cornerstone in the industry long before the advent of high frame rate formats. As a result, our devices are optimally configured to accommodate a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second (fps) when used in conjunction with cameras.

However, for those working with higher frame rates, it is essential to ensure the system functions at its best. To achieve this, it is advisable to select a timecode that divides evenly into the higher frame rate you are using on your camera. This strategy helps maintain synchronization and ensures that your footage and audio remain in perfect harmony.
For instance, if you are recording at a frame rate of 60fps, we strongly recommend configuring the Wireless PRO Timecode system to employ a timecode frame rate of 30fps. This configuration is vital for maintaining the most reliable and efficient performance, ensuring that your high frame rate footage is accurately synchronized with the timecode.
Moreover, digital audio workstations (DAW) software, such as DaVinci Resolve, is capable of handling footage recorded at 60fps while simultaneously accepting Wireless PRO Transmitter audio at a 30fps timecode. This software can then synchronize the media within the timeline, ensuring a smooth and cohesive post-production process.
