Description
The Tentacle Sync E Timecode Generator Kit is a compact, reliable timecode solution ideal for single- or dual-camera shoots, documentaries, weddings, MultiCam shoots, and VFX workflows. It generates LTC timecode according to SMPTE‑12M standards at common frame rates (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30 fps), with less than one frame drift over 24 hours thanks to its high-precision TCXO crystal.
Pairing is seamless using Bluetooth Low Energy and the Tentacle Setup app (iOS/Android), which lets you configure frame rate, monitor battery levels, and trigger jam‑sync remotely. The locking 3.5 mm output ensures secure connection to cameras or audio recorders without accidental disconnection. Recording also a reference scratch track helps simplify sync in post-production.
Powered by a built-in rechargeable Li‑Po battery (35 h on mkI, 50 h on mkII), the Tentacle Sync E charges quickly via USB‑C (≈1.5 h). It’s lightweight (30 g) and compact (38×50×15 mm), mounting easily via loop tape or supplied accessories.
This rental kit from 247kit.tv includes the Sync E unit, USB‑C cable, locking clamp, loop pads, color bands, mini-jack cable, and storage pouch—ready for timecode workflows out of the box. Ideal for productions requiring accurate syncing across cameras and audio devices.
