New Menus
The Standard Menu has the functions necessary for most professional workflows while utilizing a cleaner, smarter, and easier interface to maximize intuitive typical day-to-day operation. The Extended Menu provides access to the rarely used functions, providing the versatility and power to accommodate more unique workflows. Furthermore, the new Mode selection will apply all required settings automatically without the need to dig deep into various parts of the menu.

Smart TRX Mode
With Firmware 4.0, working with the TRX mode in all ACN devices now is plug and play. As soon as the unit is set to TRX mode, it automatically switches to a dedicated ACN channel and to receive mode. The moment you connect a time code source, be it MIDI via USB or a standard LTC signal, it switches to transmit mode and follows the source frame rate with running or standing TC. All other TRX devices on that channel now will receive the transmitted time code and automatically work at the correct frame rate. Backup functionality remains the same in the event of a wireless dropout as each ACN unit maintains time code running in the background on its internal generator.

Full Jam Mode
Full Jam Mode is the new default setting to ACN units with Version 4.0. In addition to setting the time code, Full Jam Mode will automatically match the frame rate to that of the source. Whether you're working wirelessly over ACN or over a cable connection, system setup is now be as simple as a single jam operation!

Custom Slate Clap Display
​The new Slate Display Menu lets you determine the duration of the displayed user bits, clapped time, and running TC after the slate clap. This new development helps you to cater to the unique needs of each individual production.

ACN-LS Time Code Slate

The ACN-LS slate is now shipping and has a bunch of nifty new features, including a display that flips rightside up when the sticks are reversed; wireless slate clap time transmission; the ability to hold time code for ten minutes without batteries; and a two working day battery life on four AA batteries! It's available as a display only or embedded in a slate!

Master Lockit ACN-ML

This version of the venerable lockit box adds a built-in WiFi router for communicating with the new LockitSCRIPT and Tonmeister apps (see below), collecting metadata, and interfacing with recorders.

​ACN-BT Beetle

An alternative to the CL-WiFi, which works over low energy Bluetooth (as opposed to WiFi), the Beetle enables wireless connectivity between the Ambient Clockit Network and iOS devices and facilitates the dissemination of metadata.

LockitSCRIPT

The LockitSCRIPT App for iOS makes curating on-set info a snap for the script supervisor with the ability to import and organize call sheets, scripts, sound and camera reports, etc., all synced with time code over the Ambient Clockit Network! Additional 788T functionality (via free update) coming in June!

Tonmeister

This app is for the sound mixer with many of the same organizational abilities of the LockitSCRIPT, plus a robust sound report system and an optional plug-in to allow complete control of the Sound Devices 788T via CL-WiFi.

ASF-1 "Sound Fish" Hydrophone

High-quality, economically priced waterproof microphone for great underwater audio.

v 3.1 also adds built in midi time code/SMPTE time code capability to allow real SMPTE LTC i/o for Pro-Tools workstations and RF LNA (low noise amplifier) for extended range (at the cost of decreased battery life) for the ACN!
