As technology continues to advance, adopting dynamic strategies to ensure efficient workflows has become vital. Ambient’s NanoLockit is taking strides in changing the game when it comes to streamlining camera-to-cloud workflows. Their innovative concept, known as real-time logging (RTL), brings an intriguing feature to their offering.
Real-Time Logging – A Game Changer in Workflow Efficiency
Rolling out as the latest feature of Frame.io, and set to be incorporated into Frame.io V4 later this year, RTL allows users to comment on events as they occur through the simple action of a button push. All this takes place via Ambient NanoLockit devices connected to your Frame.io project.
This gives film and content creators immediacy rarely seen before, the ability to commentate on the camera’s captures as they happen.
How Does it Work?
Many may wonder how a simple button press is transforming the way industries communicate during filming. The secret lies in the unique capabilities of Ambient’s NanoLockit devices. You can pre-program buttons to denote specific comments, transmitting them to your editor in a timecode-accurate manner.
For instance, color-coding your preferences can take the guesswork out of video reviews, marking preferred takes with a green button and discarding candidates with a red one. This accelerated process saves time during remote editing as editors can easily sift through footage.
A Tool for Diverse Creations
Real-time logging proves useful for several types of productions, from live sporting or music events to wildlife and documentary shoots. Note that an operative hands-on set for pushing buttons is a requirement to maximize this functionality.
Getting to Know Ambient NanoLockit Devices
Renowned for its miniature timecode synchronizer and logging feature, Ambient’s NanoLockit offers a simple solution for timecode logging across all frame rates. Users can utilize the system to mark shots via timecode, expediting the post-production process.
A simple red or green LED provides shot confirmation, and the zero-drift ACN network maintained by an optional C-Jam master ensures within-frame level accuracy 24/7.
Distinctive Features
The NanoLockit supports the Ambient Communication Network, boasting a wireless range of over 600′ and compatibility with an unlimited number of ACN devices. This feature ensures perfect sync for all devices on the network.
NanoLockit’s Cost Efficiency
This handy device, complete with a metadata transmitter for RED cameras, comes at a competitive available price of $219 USD.
An Innovative Solution
At its core, the Ambient NanoLockit system brings simplicity and convenience to post-production. Through timecode markers on our shots and the implementation of RTL, the road to creating impactful content has never been clearer.
