Ambient LockitBT Compact Wireless Timecode and Sync generator with Bluetooth

Compared to the Lockit (ACN-CL), the LockitBT has an additional Bluetooth interface. This enables remote control via the “LockitRemote” smartphone app (available free of charge for iOS and Android) and transmission of timecode information to compatible devices from other manufacturers.

Press the green button on one of your Lockit boxes for three seconds, and via ACN all other Lockit devices (in the same ACN channel) are synchronized in terms of TC and frame rate settings. This initial sync already ensures frame accuracy for the whole day.

In addition to the LockitRemote app, the LockitBT can also be set up using the haptic OLED display menu (press the red and green buttons simultaneously to open).

With a single standard NP-50 battery with 750mAh, the ACN-CL Lockit will last approximately 14 hours. ACN communication (C-Jam Mode) only hardly impacts runtime.The replaceable lithium-ion battery can be charged during operation. The NP-50 battery is widely used in the pro audio industry and is often available with inexpensive chargers.

All Sync Formats - 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
Two Lemo-compatible push-pull sockets provide 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.

MIDI Timecode
While LTC timecode is output via the side Lemo-compatible sockets, MIDI timecode can be tapped via the USB-C interface. For example, to feed timecode to the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) on your laptop. Some camera types also accept MIDI timecode via a standard USB cable.

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.
