1. Introduction The LockitSlate Take 2 (ACN-LS2) Lockit Timecode by Ambient Since we released the very first mobile timecode and sync generator ever already in 1992, our devices became the industry standard for timecode and synchronization on set.

Page 12: Operation Modes
7. Operation Modes Within the ACN there is always one Lockit device acting as timecode transmit- ter, broadcasting timecode and frame rate to the Receivers. You can choose between C-Jam, TX and Single Jam Mode. 7.1 C-Jam Mode (Continuous Jam) In C-Jam Mode we utilize our ACN network to completely prevent any drift. - Page 13 Lockit devices that are powered up at a later point in time will automatically follow the C-Jam Master and set their timecode and frame rate accordingly. Note: Just one unit is allowed to be the C-Jam Master within an ACN channel. A second master will be blocked and will also automatically follow the C-Jam Master and display an ACN icon at the lower right of the display.
- Page 14 7.3 ACN Receiving Mode All Lockit devices that are jammed via a C-Jam or TX Master automatically switch to ACN Receiver Mode, indicated by the ACN logo in the lower right of the display. Lockit devices in ACN Receiving Mode constantly follow the current C-Jam or TX Master.
