ACL 204 Lockit ACN Lockit TC-Generator / Trilevel-Sync & Black Audio.
The ACL204 is the first in a new generation of Clockit products which will fully utilise the Ambient Clockit Network System. By listening to practical feedback from our customers we have added functions to make this the most sophisticated portable timecode syncbox we have ever built. Surpassing the already comprehensive facilities of its predecessor it not only covers all timecode rates and sync formats but it also allows the user to apply an offset to the TC output to allow for the processing delay created in some HD cameras. 3D camera rigs can be made lighter and neater by utilising the 2nd TC output, and the sync OP which can be switched to drive a dual load. The integrated transceiver and the 2nd Lemo socket can be used to interface with the Clockit Network System. To accommodate for all this the hardware has been completely revised into a flexible, fully programmable FPGA architecture. A front loaded OLED display will give instant visual feedback about the current configuration and assist while moving through the menu to make adjustments. This is now done on the fly with an easy to operate one-finger navigation system - no more need for screwdrivers or powercycling the unit. An intelligent algorithm will prevent configuration of improper, mismatched TC and Sync rates or unintended alterations to the setup. Still being a simplistic TC and Sync box at the core driven by 2 AA cells in the familiar rugged footprint the ACl204 can be considered the pinnacle of portable synchronization.

	ALL 601 LANC LOGGER Ambient Tiny Timecode Generator Built around a powerful ARM processor the Lanc Logger was designed to fit unobtrusively onto even the smallest consumer grade cameras. Bridging between SMPTE, LANC and MIDI time code formats it allows for complete integration of equipment without native TC capabilities into a professional, time code based production workflow. Being able to create a EDL log file referring LANC or record run TC to Time of Day on the set makes import, alignment and file administration a breeze saving not only time and money but allowing projects hardly thinkable of before. Final Cut Pro users can now fully automate batch processing and import with the new available AuxApp application.
Key Features
• Highly accurate Clockit time code generator, reader, and converter. • Logging of LANC or LTC record-run time code, start and stop time against free-run TC. • Converts LANC > LTC / MTC, LTC > MTC, MTC > LTC with selectable offset. • Comprehensive interfacing with 5 pin Lemo LTC, mini jack audio TC, LANC in/outputs and USB. • Audio TC adjustable from mike to line level for recording time code to audio track. • MIDI time code via generic USB audio driver on PC and MAC • TC interface with generator for Silicon Imaging SI2K camera and DVR software. • Download of log file and firmware updates though USB in mass storage mode. • Six button keypad and OLED display for easy configuration and manual logging. • 2 coloured OLED display for full status control. • External powering through LANC and USB. • 2 x AAA cells for autonomous power and backup. • Power saving standby mode.

ACC 501 CLOCKIT CONTROLLER Controller for Clockit System A whole set of features as time code, wordclock, MIDI TC and GPS capability makes the ACC501 rather a time code swiss army knife than just a masterclock. An extensive keypad and a graphical LCD with command and menu bars ensure an intuitive but comprehensive user interface. Using a reprogrammable MPU the controller features a future-proof design with growing capabilities. Firmware revisions are obtainable through the download section at Ambient's webpage and can easily be performed by the user.
Key Features • Time code masterclock with LTC and ASCII time code, send, receive and check TC diversion, tune other Clockit units. • USB interface for data download, programming, MIDI time code and serial Sony-P2 transmission. • Low jitter word clock generator with all clocks up to 192 KHz incl. pull up/down. • Interface for GPIO and connection of accessories such as GPS receiver, RF transceiver etc. • Powering options: internal battery, USB, external 6 – 12 Volts • 4x AA cell for over 24 hrs operation. • Standby mode for keeping accurate time code. • Firmware updates by user, available through download.
	ACCSI ACCSI is a universal serial interface which plugs into the D-sub-15 socket of the ACC501 and serves as a interface for the GPS module. Featuring a powerful Atmel controller it is a future-proof design to adopt various serial interfaces. GPS Module Ambient’s GPS module has been kept small enough to be stored in the ACC pouch. It comes with a 2 meter cable attached and can be used to derive position data and universal time (UTC) to jam the internal time code generator. The GPS reference signal of one pulse per second can also be used to calibrate the internal reference oscillator. Thus, it is possible to synchronize cameras anywhere worldwide to well under 0.5 frames offset.

ACD 301 MK III Master Slate 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.
	The RF version ACD301RF additionally features a built in UHF telemetry link and an external transceiver in a slim aluminium box for bi-directional wireless TC transmission. Burst and continuous transmission from the slate are a great aid for script and can be used to remotely trigger other equipment.
