Features & Technical Notes
How SYnckron reads DJ decks and sends timecode over network and MIDI protocols.
VirtualDJ & rekordbox 7
SYnckron reads track position, playback state, and BPM directly from VirtualDJ and rekordbox 7 without extra audio cables or timecode vinyl.
Follows active deck transitions so timecode stays continuous when mixing between tracks.
Repositions lighting and video timelines immediately when jumping between cue points.
Art-Net Timecode (ArtTimeCode)
Broadcasts standard Art-Net timecode packets over local Ethernet networks directly to lighting consoles through network switches.
Supports full network broadcast, local subnet broadcast, and targeted unicast IP.
grandMA2, grandMA3, Avolites Titan, ChamSys MagicQ, Obsidian ONYX, and Hog 4.
MIDI Timecode (MTC)
Transmits quarter-frame MIDI Timecode streams for video playback servers, laser systems, and DAWs.
Pairs with loopMIDI to send timecode internally to Resolume Arena, Pangolin BEYOND, or Reaper.
Direct output to USB-MIDI interfaces and physical 5-pin DIN outputs.
