Professionals in film, television, and digital production know that perfect sync isn’t optional—it’s the backbone of any efficient workflow. The Ambient LockitBT (ACN‑LB) brings next‑generation precision, wireless control, and zero‑drift reliability to every set, making it one of the most advanced timecode and sync solutions available today.
Whether you’re wrangling multi‑camera drama, reality TV rigs, or digital audio workflows, the LockitBT delivers accuracy you can trust and remote flexibility that transforms on‑set efficiency.
Zero‑Drift Sync You Can Rely On
At the heart of the LockitBT is Ambient’s renowned precision timecode engine, engineered to achieve zero drift over a full shooting day when using C‑Jam mode. This is powered by the Ambient Communication Network (ACN)—a stable, interference‑resistant wireless protocol that keeps every Lockit device synchronised even in harsh RF environments.
The result: rock‑solid sync for cameras, audio recorders, slates and more, even during long, complex shooting schedules.
Full Timecode & Sync Capability—In a Compact Body
Despite its tiny footprint, the LockitBT supports the full range of professional standards, including:
- SMPTE Timecode
- Genlock / Wordclock Sync
- Frame rates from 23.976–60 fps
- 1080i and 1080p compatibility
This replaces multiple devices with a single, rugged aluminium unit capable of handling virtually any workflow.
Bluetooth Control with the LockitRemote App
Where the LockitBT truly stands out is its built‑in Bluetooth interface, enabling:
- Remote configuration
- Real‑time monitoring
- C‑Jam Master initiation
- ACN Radar to view every Lockit device on the network
All directly from the LockitRemote app for iOS and Android.
This is a major upgrade over the previous ACN‑CL model, making it easier than ever to manage timecode across the entire set from your phone.
One‑Button Syncing for Fast Turnaround
Need to sync a fleet of Lockits? Just press the green button for three seconds—every Lockit device on the same ACN channel instantly aligns to matching timecode and frame rate settings.
This single step dramatically speeds up setup for multi‑camera or multi‑recorder environments.
Rugged, Reliable, and Built for Set Life
The LockitBT’s hardware design is purpose‑built for professional work:
Robust aluminium enclosure for demanding field use
OLED display for menu navigation
USB‑C for charging, MIDI timecode, and LockitToolbox connection
Changeable NP‑50 battery with ~14‑hour runtime
It’s engineered to be both durable and user‑friendly—even when operating under pressure.
Why Professionals Trust Ambient Timecode
Ambient has long been a respected name in global post‑production circles for one simple reason: their sync systems reduce post time and eliminate costly reshoots caused by drift or misaligned devices.
The LockitBT continues this legacy, delivering unmatched accuracy and modern wireless control for an increasingly mobile and multi‑device production landscape.
Perfect for Film, TV, Broadcast & Streaming Production
The Ambient LockitBT is ideal for:
- Multi‑camera scripted productions
- Reality TV & documentary
- ENG & broadcast workflows
- Digital cinema rigs (ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon)
- Dual‑system sound shoots
- Virtual production / hybrid workflows
With support for Bluetooth timecode bridging, it even integrates with select third‑party devices.
