Free Run Mode (C-Jam)
Press & hold power
until LED lights green.
The display will be blank and the LED flashing red, indicating the slate is
waiting to be jammed by external timecode source via either ACN, 5 pin
connector or MIDI over USB. Due to the highly accurate calibrated
reference generator a single jam suffices for day long sub-frame accurate
sync amongst Lockit units.
You can also use the slate as timecode source but this is not recommended as it does not reflect the
established workflow on a film set. To enable the internal generator as source, press and hold the
green button for 3 seconds until the green LED lights up twice and continues flashing green every
second.
Playback Mode (TRX)
Press & hold red, tap power.
Similar to free run, but the system will dynamically follow the status of the
external source. For the connection via ACN the transmitting unit must
also be started in this mode.
Adaptive Display Brightness and Flip Sensor
The LockitSlate Take2 offers an all new semi-automatic brightness mode. To change the general
brightness level: hold the red button and tap the green to increase the brightness, hold green and tap
red to dim until the desired level. If the environment lightning changes the slate will automatically
adjust the brightness in several steps to match the new situation.
If you flip the slate upside down, e.g. for a tail slate, the display will automatically rotate by 180°.
Clap your Slate
On closing the slate it will display the clapped timecode, then userbits for 1 second, and finally return to
clapped time for 5 seconds.
