Ambient Recording Clockit Master Slate ACD101 Manual

AMBIENT CLOCKIT MASTER SLATE ACD101
The ambient compact Clockit Master Slate is a state of the art time code clapper
containing a software based timecode generator and reader. The generator is
driven by a very accurate crystal oscillator giving better than 1 ppm
accuracy.(one Frame a Day)
The slate is compatible with other clockit units such as the ACL Lockit video
camera synchroniser, ATM Clockit Timecode burst unit for audio recorders and
the Ambient Clockit controller and can be set by Aaton ASCII command or jam
synced to external timecode. Hand setting is easy and quick
The slate can be used as a stand alone unit where its accuracy will be better than
most of the units it is set by, or as part of a Clockit driven system where the
overall accuracy of all clockit units can be further tuned by the Clockit Controller
to give a system accuracy of better than 1 ppm.
The slate can function as a reader of external timecode and its display can be
retarded or advanced 7 Frames. The display has seven different brightness levels
which can be set by push button. The slate's internal generator can be jam synced
with ext timecode. set by ascii (Aaton Origen C) or set by hand. In the hand setting
mode the user bits can be changed as in changing camera roll number without
stopping the time. in other words once the time of day and date has been set it is
good for all day. When using the display intermittently as in normal clapping
mode the slate can run for several days on one set of batteries.
