This Ambient ACN-TC-RCP-R Lockit Timecode Cable for RED Camerasis used to feed timecode and metadata from Lockit or NanoLockit to RED cinema cameras (CTRL and Sync).

On one end, the cable is terminated with two 4-pin push-pull (LEMO) connectors, and on the other are a 5-pin push-pull (LEMO) and a BNC connector.

• Connect timecode and metadata from Lockit or NanoLockit to RED cameras.
• This cable is constructed of premium-quality, high-end material.
• The cable features a braided shield instead of the usual wrapped shield. Because it is denser, this shield is more efficient at protecting against RF interference.
• Instead of PVC—as commonly found on low-cost cables—the cable's jacket is made of polyurethane wherever possible, preventing the plug and cable from breaking off, even after frequent untwisting and twisting.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this use with C300MKII and Sound Devive Premix6 as the C300mkII has a timecode input with sdi cable, does NanoLockit has a SDi adapter?

A: According to Ambient: The NanoLockit does not have a SDI port. To supply the Canon C300 MKII with time code, you have to use the camera's BNC TC port. For syncing up this camera with the new Sound Devices MixPre-6, you will need the ACN-ML-D double pack and the LTC-OUT cable.

Q: 2. If I am plugging this into a dslr to jam timecode on the camera, am I still able to record audio on the camera, or this unit takes up BOTH camera audio channels?

A: The Ambient Recording ACN-NL-L NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature (2-Pack) (B&H# AMACNNLLD) can deliver timecode to one channel of the audio recorded by a typical two channel (typically called stereo) audio recording capable camera. As such, you would still have the other channel free for recording audio from a microphone or other audio source.

Q: 3. Does the NanoLockit 2-pack come with any cables to connect to camera?

A: The Ambient Recording ACN-NL-L NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature (2-Pack) (B&H# AMACNNLLD) does not come with timecode synchronization cables. However, please see the ACCESSORIES section of this product webpage to select the option that's appropriate for your device.

Q: 5. Does this require an audio recorder or some other device to send timecode to it?

A: The Ambient Recording NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature generates its own timecode.

Q: 6. If a nanolockit its connected to my panasonic gh5 will the camera internal mics still record audio and if the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR is connected?

A: If the camera has no XLR adapter and you plug the NanoLockit's time code cable into the 3.5 mm jack, the camera's internal microphone is off.If they feed it into one of the inputs of the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter B&H # PADMWXLR1 , you can still connect a microphone to the second XLR.

Q: 7. Can timecode work on two cameras that cannot be set at the same frame rate?

A: Timecode cannot work on two cameras with different frame rates.

Q: 8. Can you purchase/add additional units (Lockits) for multi cameras, or do they need to be purchased in pairs (send & receive)? I would like to buy the 2 pack now and buy another unit or two later when needed to sync multi cams/audio recorders.

A: Yes it is possible to get a single Lockit if necessary. Ambient Recording NanoLockit Wireless Timecode Generator (Single) B&H # AMACNNL MFR # ACN-NL

Q: 9. Can it be use with a RED dragon and Sounddevice mixpre3 ?

A: I'm sure you can feed the TC in on the Sound Devices with the cable included with the nano lockit. However, the Red cameras need a proprietary adapter cable to feed TC in through a BNC connector. That means you'd also need the lemo to BNC output cable for the nano lockit. Hope that makes sense!

Q: 10. I am looking for a good solution to mount this to a camera. Is there a 1/4-20 mount (or similar) for this?

A: There is no mount made specifically for the Ambient Recording ACN-CL. Often times people use velcro patches or ties to fasten the unit to a rig. Alternatively, you can look at some of the 1/4-20 clamps we have. I recommend using a patch of velcro though.
