With Clockit TC generator, a reader capable of low and high speed TC, camera strobe speed and TC diversion check, battery voltage read-out and a selectable offset of up to +/- 7 frames the ACD301 has built up a name of being a real “smart” slate. In the latest revision, MK III more features have been added to stand up for this reputation: Power consumption was optimized for the use of only 6 AA cells with improved lifetime. The 2 super bright LEDs can now externally be selected to flash either at second transition to mark frame “00” for Telecine or clapped frame. Also, the slate can display external TC and internally generated on clapping for improved playback operation with multiple cameras.
n the last few years Hi-Definition video has emerged to the de facto standard on everyday productions due to superior, crisp picture quality and resolution. Meanwhile, respecting cameras have become economically priced and the portfolio is continuously expanded with new HD models from Panasonic, Sony, Red and Arri. Adding to that HD is currently massively pushed as the future broadcast standard on a global scale. The Lockit ACL 203 stays abreast of this development including the complete variety of current HD video formats as well as Word Clock and AES3 black audio with sample rates up to 192 KHz for syncing audio recorders.
The 3 functional blocks, sync format, sync frequency, and time code frame rate are each controlled with a dedicated rotary encoder. This allows for quick and straightforward dialing through even the most exotic variants as pull up/down or cross jam modes. Despite the extensive enhancements it was possible to maintain the original footprint of the predecessor by using latest surface mount components and technology.
Thus, with extensive sync modes and an unrivalled accuracy of 0.2ppm in a highly portable package the Lockit continues being the prime choice for sophisticated synchronisation demands on the go, offering significantly less drift than a single frame per day between fully autonomous units on the set.
