Timecode Systems Limited designs and manufactures timecode hardware and software products that meet the needs of today’s shooting practices and recording formats.

No gimmicks
The Timecode Buddy: system offers a genuine enhancement in the recording and syncing of SMPTE timecode that working broadcast professionals need and will use in their daily working lives. How can we be sure? Because the Timecode Buddy: system was created and developed by a working audio professional.

The origins of Timecode Buddy
After 20 years’ working as a BBC audio supervisor and freelance sound recordist and sound supervisor, Paul Scurrell was tired of constantly changing kit for different filming scenarios. In 2010, Paul set up Timecode Systems Limited to create the all-in-one timecode solution he could see was missing from his kit bag. The result was the Timecode Buddy: system.

We embrace what others dismiss as impossible
Timecode Systems is built from an ambitious outlook. Our timecode revolution doesn’t grind to a halt now we’ve perfected the first products ready for sale - it's just the beginning. The team are constantly talking to industry professionals and customers to develop new ideas to expand the Timecode Buddy product range. Yes, we’re listening to you. The aim is to embrace even the most impossible ideas and keep timecode technology progressing. Collaborations with Movie★Slate and Softron are just two ways we have already taken the unique capabilities offered by Timecode Buddy to enhance other aspects of broadcast technology.
