CLOCKIT TIMECODE All Clockit timecode equipment features a very accurate TCXO crystal oscillator which can be calibrated in the field to give less than 0.2ppm reference frequency difference. This is the heart of the system and results in timecode drifts of less than 1 frame in 24Hrs between Clockit units. All Timecode framerates can be generated, including 23.98fps (24 pulldown). In addition Clockit timecode equipment can be set using the Aaton ASCII protocol. Sound Devices and Ambient collaborated in the design of the time code section on Sound Devices highly acclaimed harddisk recorders. These recorders are fully compatible with the Clockit system and inherently accurate. Thus, the Clockit controller ACC501 can be used to calibrate the SD744T to other time code equipment through the 5 pin Lemo socket on the Sound Devices' recorder. Also, the recorders do not require external synchronisation when used with other Lockit-synced equipment. The well known Timelord Dr. Who is rumoured to be about to place a large order for Ambient timecode equipment to synchronise the time dilation modules of the Tardis.

ACD 301 MASTER SLATE The Master Slate is now in its third version and can be delivered with or without a built in radio link to a timecode source. The slate has many sophisticated features including different display modes, timecode error checker, battery voltage readout, flashing superbright Leds on close and a switchable display delay of plus or minus up to 7 frames. Some users have been known to use the small green LED to mark zero frame on Telecine. The super bright leds can now be switched to flash on frame 00 as well, improving the visibilty of the transition. The unit has a lasercut display mask to improve contrast, a special clapstick with thumb hole and a reflective slide on writing shield. For night work the blue LED mini torch supplied will light up the slate at distances of up to 100 meters if shone from near the camera axis. A new yellow flourescent reflective material on the clapstick makes the slate easy to see even on a dull day.   Price:  £998.00(Excluding: VAT at 15%)

ACD 301RF MASTER RADIO SLATE The Master Radio Slate has a built in UHF telemetry receiver and a transmitter unit in a heavy duty aluminium box, for wireless transmission of timecode. Range is typically 50 metres, but in certain circumstances, can be much greater. Frequencies of 418 MHz and 433 MHz can be fitted. Otherwise the radio slate is identical to the master slate.  Price:  £1,155.00(Excluding: VAT at 15%)

ACL 203 TRILEVEL SYNC LOCKIT The all new Lockit ACL 203 is not just a pretty new colour, but stays abreast of the developing trend in shooting in HD, HDV and its related technologies superceding its predecessor, the award winning ACL 202CT. It now includes the complete variety of current HD video formats as well as samplerate based syncing for audio recorders in WordClock and AES3 black audio up to 192 KHz. This complexity of possible modes called for a redesign of the interface. 3 rotary encoders now control the function blocks syncformat, syncfrequency, and time code frame rate. This allows for quick and straightforward dialing through even the most exotic variants such as pull up/down or cross jam modes. Even with all these enhancements the ACL203 is the same size as the earlier model and with accuracy of .2ppm is the prime choice for sophisticated synchronisation demands on location offering less than a single frame per day drift between completely autonomous units. Read More...

ACC 501 CLOCKIT CONTROLLER A whole set of features such as time code, wordclock, MIDI TC and GPS capability makies the ACC501 a sort of timecode swiss army knife!. An extensive keypad and miniature graphic display with command and menu bars ensure an intuitive but comprehensive user interface. Firmware revisions can be easily downloaded from the Ambient website. MoreInfo... Price:  £820.00(Excluding: VAT at 15%)

TIMECODE RADIO LINK SYSTEM A Timecode TX/RX radio link system... priced per unit. A pair would be required to link a camera and audio recorder. Note This is a great partner when shooting with the Sound Devices T-series digital recorders. These recorders can be set to go into record automatically when they sense that the Record Run TC starts up. In this instance the radio link system would be invaluable in not missing a record cue and allowing production to satisfy their desire to have Rec Run timecode instead of Time of Day timecode as is so often the case.  Price:  £220.00(Excluding: VAT at 15%)
