This menu configures the TC output signal. If Level is not applicable and Offset hidden while in
“Standard” view, entering Output will directly access the Mute submenu as only option.
Level
Select TC level: 0/-3/--6/-9/-12/-15/-18/-21/-24/-27/-30/-33/-36/-42 dB
Only available for ACN-TL TinyLockit
Adjusts TC level on the “TC” socket in -3dB steps from 0 to -36dB plus -42dB. Useful when recording
timecode to audio tracks of DSLRs or non-TC capable recorders with mic sensitivity.
Mute
Mute on Gen Not Set: No/Yes
Disable the physical output of timecode in case the generator is not set (flashing red every 2 seconds).
This can be useful to leave the Lockit connected to your audio recorder with a bidirectional cable and
jam it to time of day from the recorder after start up and then seamlessly becoming the timecode
source. Also with no TC output most cameras will display a warning in the viewfinder monitor which
provides immediate visual troubleshooting.
Note: No TC is as good or bad as inconsistent TC. While one won’t necessarily notice a non-synced TC a
non-present TC will give you a clear warning on the targets display for immediate indication of an
incomplete/incorrect configuration.
Offset
Extended Setting
Shifts the TC output up to +/- 10 frames in .05 increments on physical outputs and also LED display on
ACN-LS LockitSlate against the generator. This allows for compensation of frame processing delay on
cameras and TC offset to 3
rd
party equipment (e.g. delayed TC out from audio track on playback).
