The Ambient Recording ACN-LS Lockit Slate is a modular timecode slate and display, and an accurate, temperature-compensated, timecode generator. The completely revised LED timecode display features double the brightness with the use of only four AA batteries.

The slate includes ACN (Ambient Clockit Network) support, metadata, clap time transfer, and logging. These network capabilities also allow the Lockit Slate to be a fully functional, generator-buffered, timecode transceiver. This provides the stability of a Clockit generator with the flexibility of a wireless TC system, but without the fear of dropouts.

In addition, it offers a variable timecode offset to compensate for processing delays of digital cameras. Plugged into a computer, the Lockit Slate transforms into a highly accurate MIDI timecode interface with LTC / MIDI timecode conversion and a TC LED display. This function allows the ACN-LS, for example, to sync multiple cameras with a Pro Tools workstation. The user interface is easy and intuitive to use.

Thanks to the modular construction, the electronic section of the Lockit Slate can also serve as a fully functional, compact, standalone display for documentary or desktop use. Housed in a machined, pearl blasted, anodized aluminum body it can easily withstand rough production conditions. Interchangeable slate bodies allow for customization and allow the user to choose the look. A travel bag and Lockit Slate handle with kickstand is also included.
