ACN Technology

ACN stands for Ambient Communication Network and is our own stable, interference-resistant wireless network on 2,4 GHz. This makes the connection independent of interference, poor network or bad weather conditions.

Zero Drift with C-Jam (Continous Jam)

In C-Jam mode, a pulse is sent through the ACN every 6 seconds. With this technology, it is possible to continuously synchronize all ACN devices on set with an accuracy of an outstanding 10 microseconds.

This way, TC drift within the network can be completely prevented.

In case of any deviations, the device tunes the speed and thus guarantees a constant synchronization with the C-Jam source.
Advantages of ACN

Automatic Configuration

Easy workflow on set

Zero drift

ACN Features

  • One Button Syncing

    All set at the press of a button. You hit the green button on one of the Lockit devices, and via ACN all other Lockits (in the same ACN channel) get synchronized.

  • Metadata Network

    The ACN can also be used to transmit technical metadata from cameras, lenses and audio recorders.
