USER MANUAL „LANC LOGGER” ALL601
The Lanc logger is a very small hand held timecode device for use in
Film or TV. Its innovative timecode features makes it an ideal timecode
source, logger and timecode conversion unit when working with DV and
HDV cameras and computer based audio recorders with and without a
timecode input/output. The LANC LOGGER can offer solutions both on
location and in Post production.
Timecode source with 0.2 ppm accuracy from Ambient Clockit XTAL Ref.
The LANC LOGGER is a Clockit device and the VCTCXO Xtal reference
can be calibrated to an accuracy of under 0.2 ppm relative to other
Clockit units such as the Lockit box and the Controller. Timecode drift
between boxes is well under 1 frame a day. A new IR port allows the
device to be set with Timecode and offset checked, without cables, using
the Aaton ASCII Protocol and the Controller ACC501.
Using the Standard TC Lemo 5 pin interface socket with TC in, TC out,
Tuning and ASCII port, the ALL 601 is fully compatible to all portable
timecode equipment including the Aaton Origen C unit.
The audio port with timecode as a burst or as a continous signal with
adjustable timecode levels –55dB to 0dB (1mV to 0.5 Volt ) and with
additional –20dB pad, allows connection to all camera audio inputs
using Minijack or Cinch connectors, without overload and crosstalk
Timecode logging from various sources. LANC, MIDI, LTC, Manual
The LANC LOGGER is fitted with a 512 MB flash card and can write logs
into this memory. Complex logs for use in Post production can be made,
using camera start/stop signals, and the Record Run (Rec.Run.)
timecode of the cassette from the LANC port of a Sony camera and
logging to its accurate internal time of day (TOD). The LTC out of a
camera can be used as Rec. Run. timecode source. The logger analyses
the timecode and only logs when the camera is in record, not in playback
or when spooling. Events can be Logged manually to TOD and given a
value using the keys with ASCII symbols. The ALL is a mass storage
device and the logs can be downloaded to a computer is via USB. The
logs can be converted to a EDL using the CB EDL master Program.
Timecode conversiom
With the increasing use of a computer and USB audio hardware for
portable recording or playback, the timecode conversion features in the
ALL can be very useful. The following conversions are possible.
