NEW

Blink code for Master lost “softened” from red every 6 seconds to green-red / orange

LockitToolbox:

Improved update progress visualization

ACN-NL:

Increased brightness of LEDs for better daylight readability

TC Input locked after generator has been set/jammed to prevent occasional re-jamming with use of bidirectional cables

Added option to enable LNA when run on internal battery in LockitToolbox (default disabled)

Added option to disable Auto Power via Lockit Toolbox (default enabled). When disabled unit will power down when disconnected from external source unless previously started by pressing the power button.

ACL204, ACN-TL:

Revision detection to disable internal antenna option on from Hardware revision H shipping with included SMA antenna.

ACL204, ACN-TL, ACN-LS , ACN-ML, ACN-MLP:

Splash Screen Updated to visualize model, product code and full reading of serial number LNA automatically enabled when powered from external, ACN/Ant/LNA options changed to “Auto/On”

ACN-MLP:

First Release for MasterLockitPlus incl. support for ZEISS CP.3 XD

ACN-ML:

Revised serial number scheme effective from hardware revision “H”

ACN-ML(P):

Added output of 48KHz Wordclock on TC Lemo pin 4 when Sound recorder is selected as metadata device on ACN-MLP and ACN-ML revision “H” and forthcoming (dark blue label, upgrade path for earlier revisions available on request)

Shutdown and factory reset available through System Menu

Preparation for support of ARRI CAP 2 protocol, experimental, pending on introduction of required fields in CAP

FIXED

Editing timecode in TC/Set did not trigger C-Jam Master on confirmation

Splash and Sys/Info screens could cut off serial number on ACN-ML(P)

ACN-LS: low sensitivity brightness sensor did not dim down after sensor exposed to brightness

Improved handling of serial number initialization on ACN-ML(P)

Updater:

renamed to LockitToolbox

Added support for ACN-NL incl. setting of RTC and TC frame rate

General:

Harmonized blink codes and behavior between 1st gen ACN devices and NanoLockit

IMPORTANT – TC output is hence muted with generator not set as default. You must set/jam the generator or switch on C-Jam Master to enable output. To revert to legacy behavior (not recommended) go to TC/Output and select “No” for “Mute on Gen not set”.

C-Jam Slaves will automatically follow a channel change on their active C-Jam Master

Active C-Jam Master and Slaves immune to ACN commands from different units

Updated internal API command stack

Even less reasons to use Extended menu depth 😉

TC Menu

Set: New submenu (formerly Edit in Jam submenu)After confirming an edited TC sending out C-jam master broadcasts can be enabled directly form here

FPS: locked on ACL204 in case sync output is set to “Video” (only exception 29.97 Drop/NonDrop selectable for 29.97 and 59.94 video framerates)

Sync Menu (ACL204 only)

Video: TC framerate does no longer have to be confirmed explicitly when selecting video sync signal (29.97 Drop/NonDrop selectable on appropriate video rates of 29.97 and 59.94)

Audio: also available in Standard menu depth with 48 KHz word clock as only available option preselected.

ACN Menu

Jam: generator can be set if not done so already to allow quickly jamming a set with current timecode.

Master: generator TC can be confirmed or edited before enabling Master. If Unit is actively receiving C-Jam Master broadcasts form another device, selecting Master will be prohibited with a warning message.

Ant: ACN preference channel can only be selected for the currently active mode.

New Features in Firmware

FW 5.00:

ML OS:

Reworked GUI and behavior to improve accessibility and fail safe operation.

Unit will remember its last sate on power up – a Master (formerly Hub) will restart as such and automatically set generator to current timecode, initiate C-Jam, and activate timecode out on Lemo after the server has completed booting. When a master is already present units will automatically revert to Slaves.

Title bar carries only timecode and system menu

Timecode tab also accessible by clicking on running timecode in title bar

Hub merged with Master and Satellite merged with Slave respectively.

On setting timecode to time of day, date gets inserted in Userbits with suffix “AD” to synchronize realtime clock of NanoLockits on jam.

Setting  to time of day locks this button until timecode is reset preventing multiple TOD jams.

Merged “Connected Devices” into “ACN Radar” tab. This tab now shows all ACN devices, local and remote, including their connected metadata channels.

Monitoring of internal backup battery status on local MasterLockit.

Added NanoLockit as supported device class

Moved firmware and MAC readout to the information sub screen of the connected ACN devices.

New global tab “Sound Recorder”. This corresponds to the former “Remote Control” view for supported Sound Devices recorders.

Merged “Metadata Live View” and “Metadata Export” into “Clip Metadata” tab.

Added optional export to locally connected USB sticks.

Fixed bug that limited maximum track count to 12 tracks on 664 and 688 in sound report.

Lockit Hardware:

Harmonized blink codes and behavior between 1^st gen ACN devices and NanoLockit

TC output is muted with generator not set as default. To revert to legacy behavior (not recommended) go to TC/Output and select “No” for “Mute on Gen not set”.

C-Jam Slaves will automatically follow a channel change on their active C-Jam Master

Active C-Jam Master and Slaves immune to ACN commands from different units

Updated internal API command stack

TC Menu

Set: New submenu (formerly Edit in Jam submenu) After confirming an edited TC sending out C-jam master broadcasts can be enabled directly form here

ACN Menu

Jam: generator can be set if not done so already to allow quickly jamming a set with current timecode.

Ant: ACN preference channel can only be selected for the currently active mode.

• FW 4.12:
  • Fixed bug that prevented date to be loaded into user bits under rare conditions
  • Preparations for future extensions

• FW 4.10:
• TC:
  •  „AutoMaster“
    • setting the generator via web-GUI automatically activates C-Jam Master, additionally jams to Time of Day
    • current date is inserted into userbits
  • Does not rejam to a time of day source with a deviation of less than 2 seconds from the internal tc
• Remote Control :
  • Improved track and clip management,
  • track names in meters for 788T
  • removed invalid “upcoming clip” options during recording.
  • Safety check for proper TC connection between recorder and MasterLockit.
  • Hide inconsistent files with identical TC start values.

Metadata Export:

• New option for multi-slate log export.
