The Ambient Recording Antenna for Lockit ACN-CL 2.4GHzby Ambient Recording Antenna for Lockit ACN-CL 2.4GHzis an external antenna for Lockit Devices. This antenna utilizes a helical element to greatly reduce the physical length of the antenna housing. This antenna is ideal for products requiring an ultracompact, aesthetically pleasing antenna in a right-angled form factor. Despite its tiny size, it is ruggedly constructed and can withstand punishing environments. This is the 2.45 GHz version attached with a standard SMA connector.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do I need a special cable to connect the NanoLockit Miniature to a Sony FX9 camera?

A: Yes, you will need the Ambient Recording LTC-OUT Lockit Time Code Out to BNC / L5P-BNC(BH #AMLTCOUT) to connect the Ambient Recording NanoLockit Miniature Timecode Synchronizer with Logging Feature to your FX9.

Q: 2. Will this device accept an SDI signal as a genlock input, broadcast this over ACN, and output a wordclock referenced to it? I see lots of discussion of genlock output, but not input. I have a camera without genlock, and I want to avoid pops when combining HDMI + AES - SDI. Therefore I want to synchronize the audio ADC to the un-genlockable camera.

A: no this device will not work as a genlock for a camera without genlock, it's base/fundamental mode of synchronization is time code

Q: 3. for virtual production volumes, can the device be synchronized to an evertz 5700 and then run standalone as a timecode and genlock generator on camera? also maintaining genlock that would normally come from evertz?

A: With the LTC output of the Evertz 5700, you can sync the Ambient Recording ACN-CL Lockit Compact Wireless Timecode Synchronizer in TX mode. As a TX master, the Lockit will adapt to the speed of the LTC signal, and it will regenerate and broadcast the time code and sync to all of the following ACN units. For virtual productions, I would recommend using the Lockit+ (B&H # AMACNLPE) as the TX master as it gives you more insights about the current sync status in its web interface.

Q: 4. Does this product do anything for handling noise?

A: This will not stop handling noise.

Q: 5. 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.

Q: 6. can I use a split cable to genlock 2 cameras ? Or do I need to devises ?

A: No, you can not split the output from the Ambient Recording ACN-CL Lockit Compact Wireless Synchronizer to sync multiple cameras at once.

Q: 7. Does the TC-out and Sync-out require two different cables or are they the same?

A: A single cable on the output carries timecode and genlock/wordclock.

Q: 8. a recommended distribution amplifier that share TC and genlock with one cable please?

A: A recommended distribution amplifier that could share TC and genlock with one cable on the Ambient Recording ACN-CL Lockit Compact Wireless Timecode Synchronizer would be the AJA C10DA Analog BNC 1x6 Distribution Amplifier, B&H # AJC10DA.

Q: 9. Is it Mono or Stereo?

A: The Ambient Recording Soundfish 2 MKII Compact Hydrophone with Cable is mono.

Q: 10. Can it do pass-through charging? (i.e., is this fully functional while also plugged in to charge at the same time?)

A: No, the Ambient Recording ACN-CL Lockit Compact Wireless Timecode Synchronizer when plugged in will receive power but will not actively charge also. To charge, it will need to be powered in the off state.
