# 🕰️ NTP Timeturner
**NTP Timeturner** is a Raspberry Pi-based stratum 1 time server that sets its system clock based on incoming SMPTE LTC (Linear Timecode) audio. Designed for broadcast and production environments, it allows LTC-based time sync across local networks via NTP.

## 📦 Features
- 🕒 Decodes LTC timecode from audio input (25fps supported)
- 🌐 Serves NTP time to local devices
- ⚡ Fast, reliable startup using a USB audio interface
- 🔌 Optional OLED display for system time and sync status (coming soon)
- 🛜 Web interface for Wi-Fi config and status (in development)
---
## 🚀 Quick Start
### ✅ Requirements
- Raspberry Pi 3 or newer
- Debian Bookworm
- USB audio interface with 3.5mm mic/line input
- SMPTE LTC source (e.g. video playout, Blackmagic device)
