Ambient ACN-CL The Lockit timecode device

Ambient ACN-CL Lockit Box

Since first being introduced in 1993 Ambient's Lockit devices have come a long way and have built a reputation for rock solid timekeeping and reliability. And now the latest Lockit combines the ease of use of the NanoLockit with a crisp OLED dsplay and a convenient on board re-chargeable battery.

Lockit can operate as master or slave and can automatically jam other devices that are added or restarted during the day. The OLED display 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.

Designed for the modern production environment Lockit supports not only timecode but 1080P and 1080i genlock for project rates 23.976 to 60 FPS while audio recorders are covered with wordclock up to 192 KHz.

External power and charging are available through a common USB-C port and when connected to a Mac or PC the Lockit transforms into a MIDI timecode interface without additional configuration and allows deep level editing of the settings.

Dual Lemo output connections provide maximum flexibility and you can use all your existing cables! The primary output carries timecode and the genlock/wordclock signals. The connectors follow industry standard and allow for syncing of 2 cameras in parallel or jamming via a cable while leaving the synced unit connected.
