The Mitxela Precision Clock Mk IV is a foldable clock that also serves as a clapperboard for filmmakers, eliminating visible flashing artefacts when recording.
It uses GPS to obtain the time and location, thus applying the relevant time zone and daylight saving rules.
The clock employs a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for accurate time-keeping and has two ARM microcontrollers.
It is highly customisable and has USB connectivity, with the onboard microcontrollers capable of handling firmware updates via USB.
-Toward the end of the demonstration video, the creator muses on potential implementations for future versions of the clock, such as achieving precision at the nanosecond level.
The dimming system is analogue, rather than pulse width modulation, to preserve the seamless appearance of the displayed time.
The clock is available for purchase from the Mitxela website and is recommended for enthusiasts and audio-visual creators who require precise timekeeping.
