TIMEBAR
The TIMEBAR is a versatile timecode display and generator
with OLED technology, multitool functionality &
seamless Bluetooth integration for efficient workflows
Making Timecode Visible
Not every camera has a timecode input – but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on accurate sync. The TIMEBAR timecode display makes your timecode clearly visible, offering a reliable solution for workflows where traditional timecode inputs aren’t available. Whether you’re a director, camera assistant, or part of the script team, TIMEBAR gives everyone on set a shared visual reference. Its bright OLED screen ensures the timecode is easy to read from a distance, keeping your entire crew in sync and your production running smoothly. A simple but powerful tool that brings clarity and coordination to any shoot.
Why Choose OLED?
When it comes to clearly displaying timecode on set, OLED is simply the best choice. Our high-contrast OLED screen ensures razor-sharp readability in any lighting environment – whether you’re under bright studio lights or out in the sun. It’s designed to be power-efficient too, so you can rely on long battery life throughout your shooting day without constantly recharging. And thanks to OLED’s ability to illuminate each pixel individually, you get true blacks and fast response times – ideal for high-precision, real-time displays like timecode.
Our First Timecode Generator with a Display
Meet the TIMEBAR: our first timecode generator with a built-in display, designed to do more than just sync. It’s a true multitool for the set, offering full timecode generator capability for reliable synchronization across all your gear. But it doesn’t stop there – TIMEBAR also includes practical features like a timer and stopwatch mode to help keep your production running smoothly and on schedule. And thanks to the custom message function, it can even double as a communication aid, displaying cues or reminders for the crew. A compact, smart solution built for the fast-paced world of filmmaking.
Built to Go the Distance – Without the Bulk
At Tentacle Sync, we believe professional gear doesn’t have to be big and bulky. The TIMEBAR proves that. Designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible, it fits easily into your daily workflow – whether you’re on a fast-paced shoot or constantly moving between sets. But don’t let the small size fool you: the TIMEBAR is built to perform. With a powerful battery that easily lasts a full production day, it delivers reliable timecode display and features without weighing you down. Just grab it, go, and stay in sync wherever your shoot takes you.
Total Control, One App
Take full command of your timecode setup with the TIMEBAR and our intuitive Setup App. Designed to work hand in hand with the SYNC E and TRACK E, the app gives you effortless wireless control over all your devices via Bluetooth. With just a few taps, you can fine-tune settings, sync everything up frame-accurately, and monitor your setup in real time – all from your smartphone. Whether you're juggling multiple units or making quick adjustments on the fly, the TIMEBAR brings powerful, flexible control right to your fingertips – making timecode management smoother than ever.
TIMEBAR Timecode Slate
The TIMEBAR can be swiftly attached or detached from the slate, functioning independently as a timer, message display or stopwatch. It is the lightest option on the market, weighing just 786 grams, including the battery. Thanks to its custom-designed holder and recessed grip, it allows for seamless one-handed operation, making it a perfect tool for filmmakers and ACs who need efficiency and mobility.
