THE AION ADVANTAGE

Aion doesn't just replace expensive equipment—it reimagines professional timing infrastructure. By combining GPS-disciplined precision, universal format support, intelligent video processing, integrated touchscreen control, and scalable network distribution in a single platform.

CORE VALUE

1. UNIVERSAL FORMAT MASTERY Aion speaks every professional timing language: LTC, MIDI-TC, IRIG-A, IRIG-B, NTP, PTP, ArtNet, TSL-UMD. Multiple outputs deliver different formats simultaneously—three dedicated hardware outputs plus unlimited network-based protocols (PTP, NTP, TSL, ArtNet) all running concurrently. Each can operate at different frame rates, all frame-accurate, zero calibration required.

2. GPS-DISCIPLINED PRECISION
Functions as both PTP Grandmaster and Stratum 1 NTP server with nanosecond accuracy. Automatic GPS calibration ensures long-term stability while seamless failover maintains operation during satellite outages.

3. PROFESSIONAL VIDEO INTEGRATION Native video loop-through up to 6G (supporting SD through 4K30) with broadcast-grade timecode overlay and LTC embedding on any of 16 audio channels. Available with either SDI or HDMI connections to match your workflow. Zero-latency pass-through maintains frame-accurate synchronization for live production environments.

4. INTEGRATED TOUCHSCREEN & DISTRIBUTED CONTROL Built-in 2560x720 ultra-wide touchscreen displays the full admin interface directly on the unit. The same interface is accessible from any computer on your network—rack-mount the unit, control it from front-of-house, control room, tech booth, or your desk. Password-protected admin access ensures only authorized personnel can modify settings, while unlimited viewer-mode displays provide monitoring throughout your facility. Deploy the free TCV Android app on customer-sourced displays for additional viewer screens. Stream Deck Bridge enables tactile control from anywhere on the network.

MULTI-MODE VERSATILITY

PROFESSIONAL-GRADE CONFIGURATION - INTUITIVE CONTROL

Aion's comprehensive settings architecture puts broadcast-level control at your fingertips without the complexity. Four dedicated configuration panels provide complete access to every system parameter—from dual-network routing and timecode conversion to GPS-disciplined precision and video overlay styling. Touch-optimized interfaces with visual feedback, instant apply functions, and intelligent defaults mean you spend less time in menus and more time running your production. Professional power meets point-and-click simplicity.

ROUTING PANEL
ROUTING PANEL

Select any input source and route it simultaneously to three independent outputs in any combination of formats.

VIDEO OVERLAY
VIDEO OVERLAY

Transform any HDMI or SDI video signal into a timecode-burned master with broadcast-quality overlay graphics.

INPUT/OUTPUT ARCHITECTURE

This comprehensive I/O architecture eliminates the "box of adapters" problem—Aion speaks every professional timing language natively, with proper impedance matching, gain adjustment, and termination controls built in.

Precision Architecture

Three dedicated proprietary 600 MHz subprocessors handle LTC, MIDI, and IRIG independently for maximum reliability and precision. Central ASP.NET router acts as time authority with automatic latency compensation and zero-configuration synchronization. Dual 2.5Gb Ethernet provides network separation and redundancy.

Distributed Control

Built-in web server enables the same interface everywhere—touchscreen, network browsers, and mobile displays all show identical information. Password-protected admin mode provides full configuration access from any authorized network device. Viewer mode (no password required) allows unlimited monitoring displays throughout your facility. Stream Deck Bridge (cross-platform application) connects to any computer running the admin interface, providing tactile hardware control from anywhere.

Simultaneous Multi-Protocol Distribution

Unlike competitive devices limited to sequential switching, Aion broadcasts timing across all protocols simultaneously—PTP, NTP, TSL-UMD, and ArtNet flow continuously over the network while LTC, MIDI-TC, and IRIG outputs operate independently. Serve your entire facility's timing needs from one master source.

Flexible Video I/O Options

Can be ordered with SDI or HDMI connections based on your facility's infrastructure—no need to compromise your existing workflows or invest in format converters.
