Compatibility with Vicon Lock

♦        Location: Resources pane > System tab

Nexus 2.1 supports the use of Vicon’s latest connectivity device, Vicon Lock, which enables you to run Bonita cameras using a sync signal and timecode, but without a Giganet.

Important:   The use of Vicon Lock is supported for Vicon Bonita camera systems only.

When a Lock is connected into a Vicon system, it appears in the System Resources pane in the same way as other Vicon connectivity devices. To access its properties, on the System tab, click the name of Lock device. You can then change its settings in the Properties pane.

For information about connecting a Lock device into a Vicon camera system, see the Vicon Lock QuickStart Guide (PDF).

Change to the synchronization master

♦        Location: Resources pane > System tab > Local Vicon System > Properties pane > MX System section > Preferred Master list

When you use a Lock, it automatically becomes the synchronization master for your Vicon system. You can still select your choice of master, by selecting from the Preferred Master list (formerly the Master Select list) in the MX System section of Local Vicon System properties, but if you are using a Lock, the Lock will always be the synchronization master.
