Brainstorm Electronics

In the world of professional audio synchronization, Brainstorm Electronics has established itself as a leading manufacturer of sync equipment and solutions. Back in 1987, three L.A. engineers grew tired of the lack of answers to commonly overlooked problems in recording studios. Their mission decided, Brainstorm has developed and evolved into a company serving diverse applications from mastering and recording studios to major film production facilities, broadcast operations, and live events. They began by designing accessories for tape machines and recording consoles, but quickly stepped into the spotlight by tackling an industry-wide issue, video sync and clocking. By the late 1980s, Brainstorm was a leader in creating timecode solutions, including analyzers, reshapers, distributors, and generators. Now, Brainstorm Electronics is an industry leader in Timecode, Machine Control, and Digital Clocks, with a commitment to designing innovative, high-quality products promoting fast and efficient workflows.

Sync Made Simple
At the core of Brainstorm Electronics' expertise is its time-code technology, developed over decades of refinement and real-world application. Brainstorm Time Code Generators and Readers have become industry standards and are essential in major post-production facilities. Technology has evolved, and time code has become critical in live applications; audiences now require simultaneous multi-screen viewing of live performances. The SR-112 Time Code Distripalyzer instantly identifies time code problems and reshapes and distributes that time code to 12 buffered outputs, then analyzes and sends back clean time code to help create the video experience expected by today's consumers. Used in live entertainment, theme parks, and permanent installations worldwide, these products demonstrate the company's ability to adapt proven technologies for emerging applications while maintaining the reliability that professionals demand.

Sophisticated Clocking Solutions
Count Down Timers & Digital Studio Clock solutions are another cornerstone of Brainstorm's product line, addressing the importance of proper clock implementation in maintaining audio quality and preventing system errors. The company's DCD line, introduced in the early 2000s, was specifically engineered to address clocking issues, with a particular emphasis on jitter reduction and audio quality preservation. Building on this foundation, Brainstorm also developed sophisticated digital studio clocks that integrate seamlessly into today's production environments. The DXD line, which includes the revolutionary BRAIN-DXD-16, represents the latest evolution by combining IEEE 1588 PTP network synchronization with traditional sync methods like word clock, video sync, and time code. It creates unified master clock systems that can replace traditional house sync throughout entire facilities.

Innovation that Lasts
Through their unwavering commitment to innovation and quality, Brainstorm Electronics continues to shape the future of professional audio synchronization. The company maintains its founding principle of designing solutions that enable fast, efficient workflows in professional environments. Brainstorm's products reflect decades of savvy engineering, ensuring that professionals worldwide can rely on their equipment to deliver consistent, high-quality results across any application.
