“Lock”
prevents unwanted alterations to the settings. It is recommended to lock the unit after
configuration. To unlock you will be prompted to hold the configuration wheel left for 3 seconds after
which a unlock message will appear.
Note: Due to the power logic on ACN-TL, ACN-LS, and ACN-ML, this message will also pop up
when shutting down these units with the required long press to the configuration wheel. It is
however not necessary to unlock the menu to power down. Just keep the button pressed for 3
seconds and the unit will shut down as desired.
“Standard”
will only show valid settings that have proven practical for the majority of productions, so
we highly recommend leaving it sitting here unless you run in apparent limitations to your required
configuration. In the above example of ACL204, when selecting a video sync format the only applicable
TC frame rate will be preselected on the step-by-step configuration and only thing required is to
confirm. When starting with
TC
frame rate and then moving to
Sync
and choose
Video
the first
matching project rate will be suggested for each video format. However, as video is on a higher priority,
changes applied here will result in
TC FPS
being accordingly adjusted and the new frame rate will be
showed for confirmation.
Note: “Standard” will not allow for TC/video cross rates, each video format will only have 1
matching TC rate which will be preselected. Only exception are NTSC area rates 29.97 and 59.94
which will give you the option between 29.97 (non drop) and 29.97DF (drop frame).
Important: When using 29DF make sure the whole set does. NEVER run a setup with units mixed
on non drop and drop! 29DF will neither sync with 29.97, 30, or any other non drop rate.
“Extended”
gives you all available configuration options and reflects the complexity of previous
firmware. This mode will unlock video and TC being “crossed”. E.g. you can pick 24 fps TC along with
video rates of 25, 50, or 60 fps. This will also unlock sync output for
3D
rigs, more uncommon video and
TC rates of
30
and
60
fps,
PAL
and
NTSC SD
sync. Additional options include
Audio
and
PPF
sync
options, apply an
Offset
to the TC output for compensation of frame processing delay.
