Description
AMBIENT CLOCKIT TIMECODE MASTER SLATES
ACD301 Master Slate
'Clockit' is a compact film 'clapperboard' slate, with a large, highly visible, timecode display built in. Lemo connector timecode input and output are provided for interface with audio and video systems. The timecode generator is extremely accurate, with under 1 frame per day drift at all frame rates, and can be jam-synched from an external source. A real-time clock is built in for initial setting at power up and a back-up battery allows the batteries to be changed without losing sync. A special dummy cell is provided so 'Clockit' may be powered by 9 rechargeable NiCad cells or 8 alkaline AA cells. Continuous timecode or received timecode is displayed when clapper is open, internal timecode when closed, with timecode at 'clap' held for 5 seconds and displayable for 2 minutes for logging. Dimensions: 250(w) × 130(h) × 26(d)mm. Weight: 980g including batteries.
ACD301RF Master Radio Slate
Due to the increased use of record run timecode when recording sound on DAT recorders, and the need to display this code in front of the camera, Ambient has developed the 'Master Radio Slate'.
This slate has all the features of the standard Master slate, but has a built-in UHF telemetry receiver and separate, very small transceiver to attach to the timecode source or recorder. Range is typically 50 metres, but in certain circumstances, can be much greater.
The slate also has a slip-on writing sleeve (280mm wide) which gives the slate a wide screen format, and additional writing space. The sleeve is easily removed for close up shots. A further useful feature is a 'flash on close' option to aid Telecine syncing.
