SYNC E
Super Precise & Lightweight Timecode Generator
Control, Sync & Operate via Bluetooth®
50 hours of Battery Runtime & Built-In Mircophone
A Fresh Take on Sync: Simple. Reliable. Seamless.
The Tentacle SYNC E is built to take the hassle out of timecode syncing—no matter if you're working on a small shoot or a complex multi-camera setup. It’s easy to use, highly reliable and adapts to just about any production environment. That way, you spend less time troubleshooting and more time doing what matters most—capturing great content.
BLUETOOTH – Sync, Control, and Monitor Made Easy
Why do we rely on Bluetooth? Simple: because it’s the most widely used wireless technology – built into almost every smartphone or tablet. With Bluetooth Low Energy, your SYNC E maintains a stable, power-efficient connection and runs for up to 50 hours straight. It doesn’t even need its own display – just grab your phone to keep an eye on all your devices, sync them frame-accurately, and control everything with ease. The result? A flexible, future-proof sync network that fits seamlessly into your workflow.
SYNC E – Your Smart Timecode Companion
Everything at a glance.
Tentacle devices don’t need a built-in screen – your phone is the best interface. With the Tentacle Setup App, you can easily configure and monitor your SYNC E, complete with frame-accurate timecode, all without extra gear.
Precision, built in.
Our smart sync algorithms keep everything tightly in sync. The app shows you exactly what’s going on, down to the frame — so you’re always on point.
Ready for what’s next.
Each SYNC E unit can act as a timecode source, broadcasting timecode independently via Bluetooth. Most smartphones and tablets can pick it up instantly, making it easy to create a seamless and future-proof sync network — right out of the box.
Go Beyond the Basics – Exceptional Built-In Microphone
When you connect timecode equipment to the mic input of a DSLR camera, it typically disables the camera's internal microphone, leaving you without ambient sound. The Tentacle SYNC E is different. It features a high-quality, built-in "scratch" microphone. This allows you to record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously. Now you can capture everything you need with just one compact device - making your workflow smoother and more efficient without compromising audio quality.
Stay Secure with the Reliable Locking Clamp
No one wants to deal with hard-to-find or non-standard cables and connectors, right? We certainly don’t. That’s why we designed the Tentacle SYNC E with a locking clamp to secure the connection. Plus, we made sure to stick with a 3.5 mm mini jack—hands down, the most widely used and versatile connector around. It’s all about making your life easier, not ours. Simple, secure and ready for anything.
Everything at Your Fingertips – Enhance the SYNC E with Mobile Apps
Don’t want to carry around extra gear? Tentacle Sync has you covered with a suite of native iOS & Android apps like the Recorder, Timebar, and Playback apps. Use your phone to record synced audio, display timecode, or play timecode-based music for video shoots. Plus, third-party apps such as Blackmagic Camera, Live Timecode Notes or Live Link Face offer full Tentacle support, making it even easier to capture professional video, take scripting notes or capture performances for face animation wherever you are.
From Set to Edit – Complete Software Included
Each Tentacle device comes with Tentacle Sync Studio for macOS, allowing you to streamline your post-production process quickly and easily. With just one click, you can sync your footage effortlessly, saving both time and frustration. Whether you're working with Tentacle timecode or using another system, our software can seamlessly handle almost any type of timecode, making it a versatile tool for any project.
