#139 – Time Code & Show Sync Geek Out @ InfoComm 2019 w/ John Huntington & Friends

next time in Vegas!

In this special episode, we’re back in Orlando, Florida at InfoComm2019.  However this time it’s after hours!  A quiet hang with some of the pros that keep your favorite shows, rides and attractions running around the world. Brought together by John Huntington (ControlGeek.net) and Jim Janninck (TimberSpring Inc.) this year’s discussion is all about time code and show sync throughout the industry.

More complex shows and systems work together in tandem these days than ever before. Keeping things in sync and arriving on time can be critical in many applications. In this roundtable discussion, you’ll hear industry members talk about how they are handling sync within their organizations. What they are doing for different applications and what challenges they face. The group concludes with a wish list of features they would like to see implemented in future standards. As clocks move more onto networks and traditional show sync moves more towards atomic clock accuracy, there are a lot of interesting things to consider.
