1. A system comprising:
a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory;
the system memory storing a software code; and
one or more signal emission devices controlled by the computing platform;
the hardware processor configured to execute the software code to:
determine, using at least one predetermined signal frequency, a calibration signal sequence identified with a unique time interval, the calibration signal sequence including an alignment initiation signal and a unique sequence of synchronization signals;
emit, using the one or more signal emission devices during the unique time interval, the alignment initiation signal;
emit, using the one or more signal emission devices during the unique time interval and after emitting the alignment initiation signal, the unique sequence of synchronization signals;
receive a first media content and a second media content produced by a first recording device and a second recording device, respectively, the first media content and the second media content produced while the first recording device and the second recording device, respectively, are situated so as to detect the calibration signal sequence; and
time align, using the calibration signal sequence, the first media content and the second media content.
