Introducing Lock Studio

Lock Studio is a connectivity device from Vicon, offering a cost-effective and silent solution for providing

synchronization and timecode to your Vicon Vero and Vicon Vantage systems (Vicon Bonita and MX T-Series

systems are also supported). Lock Studio features:

Timecode and genlock, including genlock to SD, HD and 3G SDI broadcast digital video signals, and

extracting timecode metadata

Support of VESA standards

Remotely triggered start and stop

General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO) sockets for synchronizing external devices

Sync to SteamVR for use with HTC Vive

Connection details

Link I/O. For Lock to Lock

synchronization. Also provides

Lock Studio to legacy Giganet

synchronization. Connect to Vicon

equipment only.

PoE (conforms to IEEE

802.3af). Requires connection to a

Gigabit (Ethernet 1000BASE-T)

PoE router. Use only the supplied

cable.

Earthing point. Always ground

the Lock Studio using this

dedicated earthing point.

SDI (Serial Digital Interface)

input. Fixed 75 Ω terminated BNC

input for connecting to Standard

Definition (SD), High Definition

(HD) and 3G SDI broadcast digital

video signals. Used to genlock to

external video broadcast signals

and to extract embedded

timecode data. Lock Studio can

be phased with respect to the

selected input broadcast signal in

increments of 37 nS through a

whole frame period. For more

information, see Vicon Lock

genlock support information.

Analog video reference input,

including VITC. Dual BNC sockets

for connecting an external video

source that transmits a composite

video signal, including Vertical

Interval Timecode (VITC), from the

master video source to the Lock

Studio and any other

synchronized video or audio

devices in a chain. The Lock

Studio must be genlocked to this

external video source.

Timecode input: LTC. XLR

socket for connecting an

external source that transmits

LTC (Longitudinal Interval Time

Code) to the Lock Studio. LTC is

supported at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97

and 30 fps. Requires an

accompanying synchronized

genlock source. For more

information, see Vicon Lock

genlock support information.

VESA sync input. 3-pin mini

DIN socket. Current Vicon

software supports 100Hz and

120Hz. After it is locked, Lock

Studio can be phased with

respect to this input signal in

increments of 18 nS through a

whole frame period. Also used

for sync and connecting with

HTC Vive via SteamVR.

Timecode output: LTC. BNC

socket that enables output of a

single-ended LTC signal (23.98,

24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps) through

a 100 Ω resistor.

VESA sync output. BNC

socket. Current Vicon software

supports 100Hz and 120Hz.This

output signal can be phased with

respect to the system sync

(including the sync to Vicon

cameras) in increments of 18 nS

through a whole frame period.

Remote Control input start

and stop. RCA phono sockets for

connecting a remote third-party

device that triggers the Vicon

system to capture data based on

input signals. Start and stop are

activated on next frame boundary.

Requires connection to GND

(ground).

GPO sync outputs. Eight

programmable phono (RCA)

sockets for synchronizing external

devices using General Purpose

Output (GPO) signals. To manage

synchronization of external

devices, or to trigger them from

Vicon system events, identify an

appropriate GPO configuration

file supplied with your Vicon

software or create your own (see

the Vicon Vantage Reference

Guide). In your Vicon software,

specify the GPO file for your

device.

Important: If the Lock

Studio is the only device

or the last device in a

chain, the Ref Loop

connection that is not

used for signal output

must be terminated in 75

Ω remotely or by using a

75 Ω terminator.



Note: When inputting HD

tri-sync standards (such as

Film, NTSC Film, and 30

fps), LTC is required for

timecode.

Lock Studio safety information

The following guidance helps you to ensure the safe operation of your Vicon system, including the use of Lock Studio.

To avoid introducing a safety hazard and possibly damaging the system, please ensure that an adequate and good-quality alternating current (AC) power source

is available.

For guidance, see the ratings statement on the rear of the connected PoE or PoE+ unit. Also ensure that any computers and peripheral devices are set to be

electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

When working with Vicon systems, observe these safety precautions:

To prevent electric shock, plug all system components into properly grounded power sources. These cables must be equipped with three-prong plugs to

ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.

Ensure nothing rests on the system cables and that cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

Do not spill food or liquids onto any electrical component of the system. If any component gets wet, immediately contact Vicon Motion Systems or your

nearest agent or distributor for advice.

Do not push any objects into the slots of any unit of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out internal components.

Keep all system components away from radiators and heat sources, and do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath any components.

Do not place any components on closed-in units or on a bed, chair, etc.

Replace fuses with the same type and rating for continued fire protection.

Do not use outside, near water, in an environment exposed to anesthetic or other explosive gases, or in mobile applications.

Warranty information

The warranty for your Vicon system begins after installation. For full details on warranty scope and conditions, refer to the Vicon Terms and Conditions of Supply

for your Vicon system.
