“TRX”
:
ACN TC radio link. Unit will act as an auto-configuring transceiver. Without TC source the units
will idle slowly blinking red and wait for either physical TC injection or signal via ACN. On detection of
an external SMPTE LTC or MIDI TC source the device will transform into transmitter (indicated by “TX”
on OLED and according blink code) and send status and frame rate to other units (marked “RX”) which
will automatically follow the source. Source detection is fully automated, including bidirectional
MTC/LTC conversion. TC will be displayed on LED display of Lockit Slate, clapped time broadcasted as
metadata.
“Ext TC”
:
In this mode the device serves as a bidirectional LTC to MIDI TC convertor. TC will be displayed
on LED display of Lockit Slate. Useful in studio environments to sync TC between external equipment
and digital audio workstation where ACN is a not required feature.
“Reader”
:
Only available on Lockit Slate, this mode allows to visualize external LTC on the slate. No
MTC conversion, no output, no ACN, but the slate will follow TC playback in low or high speed and even
reversed which makes it the preferred mode for special effect shots.
Note: As these modes are not suited for proper synchronization selecting a sync output is not
available in “TRX”, “Ext TC” and “Reader”.
