Connection details

The rear panel contains these 
sockets for capture and 
synchronization (from left to 
right of the unit):

 

Analog inputs

. Require 

the supplied Weidmüller 
connectors, with total analog 
sample rate of 192 KHz. Lets 
you connect supported third-
party analog devices. For 
instructions on using the 
connectors, see 

Connecting 

analog devices to Lock+

.

Lock+ provides 64 channels 
for generating 16-bit offset 
binary conversions from 
analog sources. The input 
impedance is 1 MΩ. The data 
sampling frequency is 
common to all channels; you 
can set the sampling rate to 
be a multiple of the camera 
base rate up to 192,000 
samples/second (192 KHz).

The capture frequency you 
can specify depends on the 
total number of channels to 
be sampled, as shown in this 
table.

 Link I/O

. Provided for Lock+ to Lock+ synchronization. Also provides 

Lock+ to legacy Giganet synchronization. For connection 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.

 

Broadcast sync input (genlock), 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+ and any other synchronized video or audio devices in a 
chain. The Lock+ 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+. Requires 
an accompanying synchronized genlock source.
When locking to HD tri-sync standards (such as Film, NTSC Film, and 30 
fps), LTC is required for timecode.

 

VESA sync input

. 3-pin mini DIN socket. Current Vicon software 

supports 100Hz and 120Hz.

 

VESA sync output

. Reserved for future use.

 

Remote Control input stop

. Phono socket for connecting a remote 

third-party device that triggers the Vicon camera system to capture data 
based on input signals received. Start and stop are activated on next frame 
boundary. Requires connection to GND (ground).

 

Remote Control input start

. See 8 above.

 

GPO sync outputs

. Eight standard programmable phono (RCA) sockets 

for synchronizing external devices using General Purpose Output (GPO) 
signals. To manage the synchronization of your external devices, or to 
trigger your external devices based on Vicon system events, identify an 
appropriate GPO configuration file supplied with your Vicon software or 
create your own GPO file (for details, see the 

Vicon Vantage Reference 

Guide

). In the Vicon software, specify this GPO configuration file for your 

external device. 

Important

 

If the Lock+ is the last device in the chain, the Ref Loop connection that is 
not being used for signal output must be terminated in 75 Ω remotely or 
by using a 75 Ω terminator.
