Brainstorm Electronics was founded in 1987 in Los Angeles, California, by 3 engineers interested in solving problems commonly found in recording studios but not always properly addressed by other manufacturers. Their first product, the TB-4 Communicator, a wireless talkback remote, became a huge success and has been in production for over 20 years.

After designing several accessories for tape machines and recording consoles, they saw the need for time code solutions and a whole product line followed, including time code generators, reshapers, distributors and analyzers. Today, their Time Code Distripalyzer is a standard in many major post-production facilities.

A few years ago, Brainstorm's focus moved to digital clocks. With the proliferation of digital equipment and the advent of HD video, a need for versatile and yet simple generator/distributors of word clock and video sync became apparent. And a new family of distripalyzers was born.
