Independent filmmakers and content creators need precise synchronization between cameras and audio but find professional SMPTE gear too expensive and complex.

Develop software-based SMPTE tools that work with consumer gear, offering timecode generation, synchronization, and logging.

Prosumer creators would pay for affordable alternatives to $1000+ hardware solutions.

Start with a simple mobile app that generates and reads timecode.

The biggest risk is competing with established broadcast equipment manufacturers.
