BLINK Hub vs EpicDraft

Take control of a multi-camera film or television shoot using Timecode Systems’ free and easy to use production dashboard and device control app. Take control of a multi-camera film or television shoot using Timecode Systems’ free and easy to use production dashboard and device control app. BLINK Hub allows film and broadcast production teams to remotely monitor and control not only multiple Timecode Systems units but also any compatible cameras and audio devices they are connected to from a single screen. This gives crews access to the complete production workflow from wherever they are - in the studio, on set or on location – directly from their iPhone, iPad or Macbook. What it can do? From the app users can: • Access a real-time dashboard displaying every Timecode Systems unit on set in one place. • Monitor and control the battery levels, sync status and settings of any Timecode Systems devices in use (:pulse, :wave, SyncBac PRO, :minitrx+, UltraSync One and UltraSync Blue are all compatible). • Adjust settings, monitor battery levels, hit record and pause any compatible cameras and audio devices directly from the app. When is this useful? • On multi-camera shoots where there are several sources of sound and video. • To save time in post-production by making sure multi-camera footage and sound is synchronised at the point of shooting rather than relying on a costly manual fix during the edit. • Remotely controlling GoPro HERO4, HERO6 and HERO7 cameras that have been rigged in difficult to access locations. Getting started – choose your BLINK master unit The BLINK Hub is a feature embedded within Timecode Systems’ flagship :wave and :pulse products. • To monitor and control multiple Timecode Systems’ devices you can use either the :pulse or the :wave as your BLINK master unit. • To control multiple Timecode Systems units plus a Sound Device 6-Series mixer/recorder, you can use the :pulse or the :wave as the BLINK master unit. • To control multiple Timecode Systems units and GoPro HERO cameras, the :pulse must be the BLINK master unit. Four simple steps to launch the BLINK HUB 1. Set a :pulse or :wave as your timecode master. 2. Attach an UltraSync One or SyncBac PRO (as appropriate) to all camera and audio devices on set. This ensures all sources of sound and picture are synced. 3. Use either the WiFi connectivity of the :pulse or :wave or the Ethernet connection on your :pulse to activate the BLINK Hub app. 4. That’s it! All of your devices are synchronised and you can start controlling the workflow centrally from a simple dashboard on your device. A few technical notes: As a web based application, connection to the BLINK Hub is via either: • WiFi (connected using the simultaneous WiFi feature of the :pulse or :wave) or • A wired connection to the Ethernet port on the :pulse Timecode synchronisation, timecode and metadata exchange and wireless device control is over long-range and incredibly reliable BLINK RF.

EpicDraft is a screenwriting app for writing, formatting and organizing screenplays. It handles industry-standard Fountain, Final Draft and PDF formats, keeps scenes, characters and locations linked to the script, and works offline. Write anywhere.

Industry-standard screenplay formatting, applied as you type. Autocomplete for characters and locations, keyboard shortcuts for every element, and a distraction-free mode for when you want the page and nothing else. A Library beside the script. Your project's wiki: loglines, synopses, treatments, characters, locations, storyboards and scenes in the same place as the screenplay instead of in another app, each one linked to the pages it appears on. Character and location pages grow into full sheets with reference lookbooks, and storyboard panels anchor to the scenes they belong to. Import and export. Open Fountain, Final Draft and PDF files, including scanned PDFs through built-in OCR. Export and print watermark-free PDF and Final Draft files. Coverage, built in. When a draft is ready for notes, EpicDraft Pro lets you share a secure read-only link and collect script coverage: structured, page-by-page feedback from your readers, gathered into one dashboard. Readers open the script in their browser and review it free, without installing anything. Real-time collaboration, per-script roles and team chat keep a whole writers room on the same pages. A full AI toolkit, on your terms. EpicDraft Pro adds a writing assistant for chat, research, loglines and in-place rewrites that knows your whole story, plus image generation for storyboards and concept art. Turn it loose on the whole project for an autonomous coverage report or consistency check. It runs on local models by default, so your pages never leave your machine. Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or xAI account only if you choose, and give the assistant extra tools by plugging in your own MCP servers. Your files, on your hardware. Screenplays are stored locally by default and are never mined or used to train AI models. Cloud sync is there when you want it and stays switched off until you turn it on, and Pro can keep your own devices in sync peer to peer, with no cloud in between. Free to use. The editor, unlimited screenplays, import and export, 29 interface languages and every platform are free, with no watermarks and no quotas.
