Wireless Timecode
DXL2 is the first camera to implement wireless timecode using the Ambient Communication Network (ACN). With ACN, cameras, slates, and sound can be jammed together without any hardwired cables. DXL2 continues to auto-jam timecode every 6 seconds, which eliminates all timecode drifting. This dramatically simplifies the timecode process and eliminates dailies audio slip-syncing.
DXL Control
DXL Control is an iOS and Android app that allows DXL2 full menu access, including run/stop, from a smartphone. The app offers a real-time visual histogram as well as the ability to remotely program up to eight shortcuts. DXL2 Control can link to a single camera or control multiple cameras from a single device. Available free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.Livegrade

DXL2 utilizes the RCP protocol to allow apps and devices to directly control the camera. RCP control is accessed through WiFi, Ethernet, or serial ports. RCP SDK is available for third-party development, allowing for integration with popular devices such as Semote or UltiMote for external camera control.Get the DXL2 App:
