The Ambient NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature in a pack of two is a small and easy-to-use timecode logging system that supports all frame rates of timecode in and out. It can be used to easily mark shots using timecode, speeding up your post-production process. Mark each shot as good or no good, and a green or red LED illuminates to confirm your selection. Generate timecode that stays accurate to within one frame over 24 hours, or use an optional C-Jam master to maintain zero drift over the ACN network.

The NanoLockit supports the ACN (Ambient Communication Network), which has over a 600' wireless range and can support an unlimited number of Ambient ACN-compatible devices to keep all in perfect sync. The generator supports timecode in/out and ACN metadata, and it can also be used as a metadata transceiver for RED cameras. The timecode output level can be adjusted, allowing you to record it on an audio channel on non-timecode-compatible equipment (optional cable required).

ACN (Ambient Communication Network) is Ambient's stable, interference-resistant wireless network. It does not require or use either Bluetooth or WiFi. This makes the connection independent of interference, poor network, or adverse weather conditions. Ambient's ACN is a proprietary wireless network based on a standard in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, and it offers 16 freely selectable channels. The ACN supports an unlimited number of devices and has a longer range than Bluetooth, up to 656'.

Q: 1. If a nanolockit its connected to my panasonic gh5 will the camera internal mics still record audio and if the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR is connected?

A: If the camera has no XLR adapter and you plug the NanoLockit's time code cable into the 3.5 mm jack, the camera's internal microphone is off.If they feed it into one of the inputs of the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter B&H # PADMWXLR1 , you can still connect a microphone to the second XLR.

Q: 2. Can you connect the NanoLockit Miniature to a 19v D-Tap external battery using the USB adapter?

A: The Ambient Recording NanoLockit has 25 hours of operation on a full charge. Full charge in two hours; fast charge in 15 minutes for four hours of operation. However, Yes you could use an external battery to charge the Lockit. However, 25hrs of runtime it is not really necessary.

Q: 3. Can this use with C300MKII and Sound Devive Premix6 as the C300mkII has a timecode input with sdi cable, does NanoLockit has a SDi adapter?

A: According to Ambient: The NanoLockit does not have a SDI port. To supply the Canon C300 MKII with time code, you have to use the camera's BNC TC port. For syncing up this camera with the new Sound Devices MixPre-6, you will need the ACN-ML-D double pack and the LTC-OUT cable. Ambient Recording LTC-OUT Lockit Time Code Out to BNC / L5P-BNC B&H # AMLTCOUT

Q: 4. Does the NanoLockit 2-pack come with any cables to connect to camera?

A: The Ambient Recording ACN-NL-L NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature (2-Pack) (B&H# AMACNNLLD) does not come with timecode synchronization cables. However, please see the ACCESSORIES section of this product webpage to select the option that's appropriate for your device.

Q: 5. Can I use this to sync a video switcher, LED wall and cameras to get rid of the rolling bars or static bars associated with the frame rate on the LED wall?

A: No, this is used for synchronizing recording devices. Please reach out to one of our professional video experts for guidance specific to your case.

Q: 6. Can it be use with a RED dragon and Sounddevice mixpre3 ?

A: I'm sure you can feed the TC in on the Sound Devices with the cable included with the nano lockit. However, the Red cameras need a proprietary adapter cable to feed TC in through a BNC connector. That means you'd also need the lemo to BNC output cable for the nano lockit. Hope that makes sense!

Q: 7. is there a way to set auto frame rate if my camera needs to shoot 24fps then 60fps on a hurry?

A: According to Ambient: The ACN-NL follows the TC frame rate it is jammed with. Thus, if you jam the device with 24 fps (or 23.976) it will take over these frame rates. A 60 fps frame rate is not specified by SMPTE, and therefore not available by the NL. Regarding high speed, the cameras generally switch to internal counting of the frames and are not synced with the other devices. Usually the time code frame rate is not changed within one production.

Q: 8. Can the battery be user replaced when necessary?

A: The battery is built into the NanoLockit and not user serviceable.

Q: 9. Can it do pass-through charging? (i.e., is this fully functional while also plugged in to charge at the same time?)

A: No, the Ambient Recording ACN-CL Lockit Compact Wireless Timecode Synchronizer when plugged in will receive power but will not actively charge also. To charge, it will need to be powered in the off state.

Q: 10. My nano do not work with Sony Venice , I send lemo 5 pin and BNC

A: This Time code cable from Ambient Recording for the NanoLockit and Sony Venice camera would need to be added to the kit. https://bhpho.to/3KdmUiQ
