In this tutorial, we will show you how to timecode sync a Sound Devices 

MixPre-3 audio recorder to an Ambient Nano Lockit.

We will use the following gear: a Sound 

Devices MixPre-3 and a camera.

To timecode sync this setup, you will 

need two NanoLockits and these two 

TC-IO-35RA timecode cables, which are 

included when buying a NanoLockit.

Start the NanoLockits by pressing and 

holding the power button for three sec-

onds.

The LED will flash green / red, which 

means the LEMO timecode output is still 

muted.

Press and hold the green button of one 

NanoLockit for three seconds until LED 

double-blinks green: This sets the time-

code and frame rate, wirelessly syncs all 

other NanoLockits and activates all LEMO 

outputs.

The NanoLockit always starts with its Real 

Time Clock at last frame rate or at default 

25 fps.

If successful, all units will flash green in 

sync. Which means: they are ready to 

sync other devices.
