Image LTC time stamping within StreamPix

Linear Time Code (LTC):
LTC can be used to tag every recorded image with precise time information. It labels each frame using the format HH:MM:SS:FF, where FF represents the frame number and runs from 0 up to 24, 25, or 29 depending on whether the reference signal is Film, PAL, or NTSC. LTC is widely used in film and video production because it provides a common reference for synchronizing video and audio sources. When recording with multiple cameras, LTC ensures that each frame has a unique timestamp, making multi-stream editing and retrieval significantly easier.

Capturing at higher frame rates:
If the capture rate is faster than the LTC update rate, StreamPix will assign the same time code to consecutive frames. During export, optional suffixes can be added to distinguish every frame individually.

Remote workflow integration:
When LTC is used, StreamPix can also be remotely triggered by third-party applications, such as Vicon Shogun or Blade, to start and stop recording. This enables full synchronization with motion-capture (MOCAP) systems and smooth integration into production workflows.
