Feeding external LTC Timecode into a Lockit

Lockits usually act as master source for timecode and genlock and provide timecode for other audio and video devices. However there also are a few use-cases where a Lockit needs to be supplied with LTC timecode from another source. 

The most important scenarios are virtual production environments or Rec Run setups where a Lockit in TX mode broadcasts the timecode (and according sync) information from a studio clock or audio/video recorder to other Lockits via ACN.

To make it easier for you to choose the right cable for feeding timecode into a Lockit, we have collected the most common LTC output types that exist on third-party devices and listed the right cables for the job below:

BNC (e.g. professional cameras, studio clocks)

XLR (e.g. studio clocks, DAW interfaces)

LTC-IN-XLR
