The Ambient Recording ACN-NL-L NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature (2-Pack) is the smallest member of the Lockit family. Its form factor and intuitive operation make it a good timecode solution for anyone from mobile teams with small cameras to large cinema sets.
Key features
- Highly accurate Timecode Generator
- Logging feature included
- Less than 1 frame drift per day in autonomous mode, zero drift with active C-Jam master in ACN
- Supports all TC framerates
- Full ACN support
Since the introduction of firmware version 6.30, the NanoLockit can now additionally be used as a Logger. This feature was designed with content creators, directors, and filmmakers in mind. With the NanoLockit logger, you can mark good and bad clips directly on set. There is one button for “good take”, and one button for “bad take”. It was designed like this to enable the utmost simplicity for intuitive operation.
Using the logging feature is a big advantage because you don’t need to waste time sorting through good and bad clips. You simply connect the NanoLockit Logger to your computer via USB after shooting. With one click you can import the logs as markers into your editing software.
The Ambient Communication Network (ACN) is Ambient’s own wireless network that connects all Lockit boxes on set. It was designed to be a stable, interference-resistant radio network completely without Bluetooth and WiFi. This makes the connection independent of interfering radiations, bad networks or adverse weather conditions.
The ACN is the reason why Ambient’s One Button Syncing reduces the setup time on set to just the press of a button. You press the green button on one of the Lockits or NanoLockits for three seconds, and through the use of 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.
All important functions can be controlled via the buttons. So there is no need for an additional app. The NanoLockit can either start directly with the built-in real-time clock or be fed with external timecode via the LEMO-compatible plug-in connection. Even the synchronization of a complex setup is literally done with a single button press with the NanoLockit.
