The Vicon Lock Studio and Vicon Lock Lab are Vicon's dedicated sync and integration control boxes — the central hub for connecting, integrating, and precisely synchronising third-party hardware with any Vicon motion capture system.

• Three Core Capabilities: Connect. Integrate. Synchronise : Lock Lab and Lock Studio are Vicon's control boxes for connecting, integrating, and synchronising third-party devices with your Vicon motion capture system. Simply connect your third-party devices, connect to your PoE switch, and start capturing. 

Whether you're running force plates in a clinical gait lab, integrating EMG amplifiers in a biomechanics research facility, or synchronising external video cameras on a virtual production stage — Lock gives you a single, reliable integration point for your entire peripheral ecosystem.

• 64-Channel ADC — High-Fidelity Analog Data Capture : Lock Lab provides 64 channels for generating 16-bit offset binary conversions from analog sources, with a maximum total analog sample rate of 192 kHz and input impedance of 1 MΩ. Sampling frequency scales with channel count — from 192 kHz at 1 channel down to 3 kHz across all 64 — giving researchers full control over the trade-off between channel density and temporal resolution. 
• Synchronise Up to 8 External Devices via GPO : Lock units enable you to trigger up to eight third-party devices for external sync via VESA. Eight programmable RCA GPO sockets allow external devices to be triggered based on Vicon system events, using configurable GPO files managed through Vicon software. Force plates, EMG systems, pressure sensors, and external cameras can all be synchronised to the Vicon timeline with sub-frame precision. 
• VESA Sync with 18 Nanosecond Phase Precision : After locking to VESA input at 100 Hz or 120 Hz, Lock Lab can be phased in increments of 18 nS through a whole frame period — delivering the temporal precision demanded by high-speed biomechanics research and clinical gait analysis workflows. 
• Lock Studio — Adding Timecode, Genlock & SDI for Film & Broadcast : For virtual production, film, and broadcast applications, Lock Studio adds an SDI input for synchronising compatible cameras, plus analog genlock and timecode support. LTC timecode input is via XLR and output via BNC, with a VESA sync output also available as BNC — enabling frame-accurate lock to production timecode across the full mocap pipeline. 
• Silent Operation. PoE Powered. Status at a Glance :Lock Lab is a silent, fanless connectivity device powered via PoE (IEEE 802.3af), requiring only a Gigabit PoE switch — no separate power supply. The front-panel Vicon logo light provides immediate system status feedback: Red (booting), Green (connected, not active), Blue (communicating with software), and Cyan (selected in software). 
• Compatible Across the Vicon Camera Range : Lock Lab is compatible with Vicon Vero, Vantage, Bonita, and MX T-Series systems — making it the universal sync backbone for any Vicon installation, old or new.
