8. Menu Description
The graphical interface of the Lockit Menu combines ease of use with maximum flexibility for
experienced users and mostly consistent through all devices. Consecutive, interactive menus ease fail
safe configuration, guiding the user step by step through initial configuration.
Each menu pane with submenus features a “Home” symbol which will be preselected, allowing the user
to quickly move up one level when pressing the wheel erratically or just checking the settings.
Complexity of adjustments is defined by a 2 step menu depth which can be set from the System setting
Menu. Additionally you can “Lock” the graphical interface here after setup has been completed. To
unlock, follow the prompt and hold the configuration wheel left for 3 sec until an according message
appears.
Note: Due to the power logic on ACN-TL, ACN-LS, and ACN-ML, this message will also pop up when
shutting down these units with the required long press to the configuration wheel. It is however not
necessary to unlock the menu to power down. Just keep the button pressed for 3 seconds and the unit
will shut down as desired.
“Standard” view will show the settings that have proven practical for the majority of productions, so we
highly recommend leaving it sitting here unless you run in apparent limitations to your required
configuration. In the above example of ACL204, when selecting and confirming a video sync format the
only applicable TC frame rate will automatically be applied. When starting with TC frame rate and then
moving to Sync and choose Video the first matching project rate will be suggested for each video
format. However, as video is on a higher priority, changes applied here will result in TC FPS being
accordingly adjusted again.
Note: Only exception are “NTSC area” video rates of 29.97 and 59.94 which will give you the option
between 29.97 (non drop) and 29.97DF (drop frame).
Important: When using 29DF make sure the whole set does. NEVER run a setup with units mixed on non
drop and drop! 29DF will neither sync with 29.97, 30, or any other non drop rate.
