The OLED also brings the useful timecode compare tool introduced with firmware 6.0 so it is easy to determine if other equipment is still in sync - with an accuracy of 1/100 of a frame. Lockit can also operate as master by automatically jamming units that are added or restarted during the day. Just like the NanoLockit, jamming units to time of day with the internal Real Time Clock is a one button experience, but with the additional perk of a crisp OLED display. But now it's time for our old buddy to step aside for the next generation.
Lockit socket serial#
Two AAs soon replaced the 9V battery, flying leads changed to fixed sockets, the BNC timecode output was sacrificed in favor of a second Lemo sporting TC I/O and a serial metadata port, a display-guided menu thrown in and, of course, we introduced the ACN, a powerful wireless timecode and metadata network.ĭespite all these changes and a massive increase of processing power, we were able to maintain its iconic form over all those years. Over time it was updated with a host of features we now take for granted from HD sync to metadata. Since its first appearance in 1993 the ACL "Lockit" has become synonymous for reliable on-set synchronization. With the NanoLockit, even the synchronization of a complex setup is literally done with a single push of a button."The Lockit" Timecode Synchronizer for cameras and audio recorders, Timecode and Genlock, ACN compatible
Lockit socket code#
The NanoLockit can either start directly with the built-in real-time clock or be fed with external time code via the Lemo-compatible push-pull socket. So no additional app is needed to make important settings on the set. Easy to handleĪll important functions can be controlled via the buttons. Together with automatic switching on with an external power supply and a running time of 25 hours with the internal battery, the device is also predestined for use on rigs that are difficult to access, such as steadicams, gimbals or drones. Gone are the days of tediously jamming device after device. The integrated wireless ACN system allows all Lockits on set to be synced with the push of a button and makes the NanoLockit compatible with all other ACN-enabled Lockit devices. So nothing stands in the way of an "out of the box" experience. However, we have also thought of beginners and supply a suitable cable to mini-jack at the same time.

Therefore it features a locking, Lemo-compatible push-pull socket.
Lockit socket generator#
In a format just the size of a matchbox, the NanoLockit is a high-precision time code generator based on the proven and award-winning Lockit circuits - for all device classes from single-lens reflex to the highest quality film camera. Due to its small form factor, its intuitive operation and the greatest possible accuracy, it is the timecode solution for everyone! Little brother The NanoLockit is the newest member of the Lockit family. 1x TC-IO-35RA Cable (LEMO to Audio Jack).
