Ambient Recording ACD-301RF Master Radio Slate Time Code Display - Reader, Generator, Writer, Clapper, Error Checker, Transmitter
The Ambient Audio ACD-301RF is a time code reader/generator and clap slate in one package. The clap slate actuates a generator/reader while used in a production; internal or external time code will be displayed for use with audio and/or video production equipment. Therefore, visual displays and audio indication can be matched with electronically generated time code information. As an added feature this device transmits the time code over air waves and supplies a portable receiver to connect with production equipment.
This device includes a transceiver module that can also be used as a transmitter or receiver by activating a hidden switch that is accessible through the battery compartment. It features an LED light that displays green when in transmitter mode and red when in receiver mode. When used with time code input or output, the transceiver uses a Lemo 5-pin connector. An XLR3F-to-Lemo cable is included. When several of these devices are used in conjunction that can be configured for use as transmitters or receivers as needed.

- Flash Display
