Frame Timer

Frame Timer is a frame-accurate stopwatch built for testing NDI and other wireless or networked camera links. THE PROBLEM Wireless and IP-based video transmission (NDI, RF links, streaming encoders) can silently drop frames. A dropped frame is nearly impossible to spot by eye in normal footage — you need a reference clock that counts in frames, not milliseconds. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your production's frame rate: 24p, 25p, 30p, 48p, 50p or 60p. 2. Point your camera at this screen and start recording through your NDI / wireless link as usual. 3. Start the timer and let it run. 4. Play back the recording frame-by-frame. If the frame count ever jumps or the ring skips a tick, you've found a dropped frame — and exactly when it happened. WHAT'S ON SCREEN • A large HH:MM:SS + frame-number readout, so you can read the exact frame off a paused recording. • A ring of tick marks — one per frame of…
