Tentacle SYNC E is built on the idea of providing you with an easy to operate and reliable timecode and sync tool that works in nearly any kind of setting. No matter how small or complex your shooting challenge is, the Tentacle SYNC E is the right companion for your creative task.
Spend less time thinking about setting everything up and spend more time on what you do best: being creative.
Why Bluetooth? Simple: it’s the most common wireless tech, built into almost every phone and tablet. With Bluetooth LE, your SYNC E offers cable-free operation, linking effortlessly to your app and delivering up to 50 hours of battery life. No built-in display? No problem—use your phone to monitor, sync and manage devices with frame-accurate timecode. Future-proof and versatile, SYNC E creates a seamless sync network.
Monitoring. Tentacle devices don’t have a built-in display – and that’s just how we like it. The best user-interface is your phone. Use it to monitor and setup your Tentacle SYNC E with a frame-accurate timecode display, without the need for any additional expensive equipment.
Accuracy. Tentacle’s sync algorithms allow you to monitor your Octopodes with frame accuracy via the Tentacle Sync app.
Future-proof. Every SYNC E acts as a master and broadcasts timecode independently via Bluetooth. Almost every mobile device can make use of this timecode, opening up a whole world of seamless connectivity sync network without needing any new technology – straight out of the box.
Connecting timecode equipment to the mic input of a DSLR-type camera cuts off the internal audio. Tentacle SYNC E has a high-quality built-in ‘scratch’ mic. Record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously with just one single device.
Who wants to buy extra non-standard and unusual cables or connectors? Probably nobody. At least we don‘t. That‘s why we decided to add a clamp to the Tentacle SYNC E, making the connector lockable. And to make things even easier, we just used a 3.5mm mini jack – without a doubt the most common and versatile connector in the world. It’s all designed around you, not us.
You don’t want to bring extra devices to the set? Tentacle Sync also offers additional native iOS & Android apps such as the Recorder, Timebar or Playback App. Just use your phone for recording synced audio, for displaying Timecode or playback songs with timecode for music video productions. Third party apps such as Blackmagic Camera, Movie Slate or Raccorder scripting app also have full Tentacle support, making it even easier to shoot professional video on the go.
Of course, every Tentacle unit comes with Tentacle Sync Studio (macOS) enabling you to sync your material with just a single click. It works with nearly any kind of timecode, even if you have used a different timecode technology than ours.
