Ambient ACN-CL Lockit Portable Timecode System

Being a Lockit at its core, the ACN-CL carries the DNA of its predecessors and inherits all the unique and appreciated features, combined with the unprecedented ease of use that has been first introduced with the NanoLockit.

Battery

Since its first appearance in 1993 the ACL "Lockit" has become synonymous for reliable on-set synchronization.

Over time it was updated with a host of features we now take for granted from HD sync to metadata. 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.

Despite all these changes and a massive increase of processing power, we were able to maintain its iconic form over all those years. But now it's time for our old buddy to step aside for the next generation.

Display

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. Lockit can also operate as master by automatically jamming units that are added or restarted during the day.

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.

Size and Signals

While our smaller units were always marked by a prefix such as Tiny or Nano, the ACN-CL proudly carries the name "Lockit" and it wouldn't do so without supplying both timecode and sync signals.

Designed for today's equipment it supports 1080P and 1080i genlock for project rates 23.976 to 60 FPS while audio recorders are covered with wordclock up to 192 KHz.

Outputs

Dual Lemo output connections provides maximum flexibility and continued use of available cables. TC in and out follow industry standard and allow for syncing of 2 cameras in parallel or jamming via a cable while leaving the synced unit connected.

The primary output carries timecode and genlock/wordclock. This gives you the freedom to choose running it either on straight, Y-split cable or 2 separate leads using the second connector for timecode which also connects to devices that support ACN for metadata transfer.

Powering and charging

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

Not just for the bling the sync LED is now full RGB so we have another color for status indication and party mode. We fit all of this and more in a compact solid aluminum case that makes the ACN-TL TinyLockit and even ALL601 LancLogger look large by comparison.

Included Accessories

• 1 × NP-50 compatibly Li-Ion battery
• 1 × USB-C to USB-A cable
• 2 × pcs double lock

Ambient ACN-NL-LD Nano+Logger Lockit Duo

In the past 25 years Ambient Timecode has become the synonym for precision and reliability. Today it is the go-to solution for video and audio professionals worldwide. Renowned Post-Production facilities demand the use of Ambient Timecode on set as they know they can reliably safe time.

The NanoLockit is the latest addition to the Lockit familiy. With its small size, its pure simplicity and the highest possible accuracy it is the timecode solution for everyone! Now with Logging feature! For more information on how to use this feature click here.

Any NanoLockit can both be used as a regualr Lockit Timecode generator and Logger (from Lockit firmware version 6.30)

To used it as a Timcode Generator please choose the fitting Timecode Cable for your camera on sound recording using this Timecode Cable Guide or feel free to email us at sales@pinknoise-systems.co.uk.

Small With its matchbox-size form-factor, it provides timecode by way of our acclaimed Lockit circuitry to anything from DSLRs to film cameras. Despite its small size, it delivers our crystal-tuned timecode via the industry standard, locking 5-pin LEMO connector. And for newer users that may not be using timecode gear, we include a LEMO to 3.5mm interface cable so the NanoLockit will work for DSLRs and consumer cameras right out of the box.
Smart With onboard wireless ACN technology, the days of tediously jamming Lockits one-by-one with a cable are finally past. This, along with the auto power on external supply feature, enables a set and forget process on hard to access configurations such as steadycams, gimbals, and drones ‐ while the integrated battery will power the NanoLockit for at least 35 hours on a full charge.
Simple Syncing up even the most complex gear setup is literally a one button experience. After being set to the internal Real Time Clock or jammed by external timecode, any NanoLockit can wirelessly jam sync all other units on the set. The framerate is set automatically when jammed and does not require connection to an app or in-depth menu navigation.

Small Size: The camera department will love it: the industry standard Ambient Timecode is now smaller than ever before.
Quick Start: Control your NanoLockit with easy-to-operate buttons. Start working right away using the built-in Real Time Clock.
Energy Management: The rechargable battery makes the NanoLockit extraordinarily eco-friendly. It fully charges in 2 hours and lasts for 25+ hours.
ACN Inside: Wireless timecode that simply works ‐ thanks to the reliable ACN inside. The ACN is our Lockit-specific, long-range radio network that transmits timecode and metadata.
Easy-to-use: The buttons control all important functions. There's no need for an app to adjust settings in the field. Use the built-in real time clock or feed in external timecode via the LEMO port.
Scalable: The NanoLockit is part of the Lockit Family and works perfectly together with his bigger brothers. Use it for DSLR shoots as well as for big Hollywood productions.
Bulletproof: The robust, aluminium body and the self-locking LEMO interface makes your NanoLockit a long-life companion ‐ even in rough on-set use cases.
Time-Saver: Syncing the timecode of your cameras and audio recorders on-set using NanoLockits will save you hours each day in post-production. Clips generated from synced devices can be auto-conformed with one mouse click in professional editing software.
