How Timebeat Eliminates Broadcast Synchronisation Issues

Deliver Live Sport the Way It’s Meant to Be Seen — Synchronised, Seamless, and Truly Live

When broadcasting live sport, every millisecond matters.

A single moment out of sync, commentary ahead of the action, crowd noise arriving too early, or video lagging behind, breaks immersion and frustrates viewers.

For example in the recent high-profile broadcast by TNT Sports of the Ashes Cricket between Australia and England viewers heard about the fall of wickets on the commentary before they were seen on screen.  This shows easily these issues can occur, especially when combining on-site commentary teams with remote studio contributors. Without a unified time reference across locations, audio and video streams drift apart, creating the all-too-familiar problem of hearing a wicket, goal, or crash before you see it happen.

Timebeat solves this. Completely.

Timebeat delivers ultra-precise, nanosecond-accurate clock synchronisation across your entire broadcast workflow, whether teams are in-stadium, in a studio on the other side of the world, or working remotely.

With Timebeat:

• Every camera, microphone, encoder, and production server works from the same exact time.

• Audio and video streams carry precise, trusted timestamps, ensuring they are always aligned during mixing and playout.

• Hybrid commentary setups remain perfectly synchronised, even when contributors are thousands of miles apart.

• Engineers get real-time insights and alerts if any system begins to drift, enabling rapid correction before the audience ever notices.

The result? A broadcast where the audio, commentary, and pictures arrive together, exactly as intended, delivering the immersive live experience fans expect.
