Synaxis

Real-time broadcast production monitor and Adobe Premiere timeline generator for multi-camera live events.

Features

• TSL 5.0 tally monitoring — listens for tally data from Ross Ultrix Carbonite production switchers
• ProPresenter 7 integration — tracks slide transitions via HTTP REST and chunked streaming
• HyperDeck Extreme 8K control — start/stop recording, timecode sync via Ethernet Protocol
• Premiere XML export — generates multi-track FCP XML timelines with program cuts, ISO tracks, graphics, and audio
• Live dashboard — real-time connection status, program source, timecode, and event feed
• Timeline visualization — in-app timeline preview of captured production events
• Multi-ProPresenter support — monitor multiple ProPresenter machines simultaneously
• Drop-frame timecode — proper NTSC detection for 29.97 and 59.94 fps workflows
• Back-to-back sessions — name and manage consecutive recording sessions

Requirements

• macOS 15 Sequoia or later
• Apple Silicon (aarch64)

Installation

1. Download the latest .zip from Releases
2. Extract the zip
3. Right-click Synaxis.app and select Open (required on first launch for ad-hoc signed apps)

Usage

1. Configure connections — set the TSL listener port, ProPresenter host/port, and HyperDeck IP in Settings (Cmd+,)
2. Assign cameras — map TSL source indices to camera names and HyperDeck inputs
3. Configure the Carbonite — in Ross DashBoard, add a TSL UMD device pointing to this Mac's IP and port (default 5201)
4. Monitor — watch the live dashboard for connection status, program source, and event feed
5. Record — use Cmd+R or the HyperDeck controls to start/stop recording
6. Export — after recording, export the timeline as Premiere XML or review it in the timeline view

Configuration

Ross Carbonite / Ultrix

In DashBoard: Configuration > Devices > Add Device > Type: TSL UMD > Driver: TSL 5. Set the IP to this Mac's address and port to 5201 (or your configured port).

ProPresenter 7

Enter the ProPresenter machine's IP and API port (default 1025). The HTTP API requires no authentication. Optional: configure Remote password for control features.

HyperDeck Extreme 8K

Enter the HyperDeck's IP address. Default port is 9993. Assign SDI inputs (1-8) to cameras for ISO track mapping.
