The Tentacle SYNC E represents a new era in timecode synchronisation, designed with a focus on ease of operation and reliability. It’s an ideal tool for any video shooting scenario, whether you’re working on a small project or a complex production. The Tentacle SYNC E is more than just a device; it’s a creative companion that simplifies your workflow, allowing you to focus more on your artistic vision and less on technical setup. One of the standout features of SYNC E is its Bluetooth capability. In today’s world, smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous, and Bluetooth is a universally adopted wireless technology. The SYNC E harnesses this technology for cable-free operation, making it incredibly convenient and accessible. The device boasts an impressive battery life of up to 35 hours, thanks to its use of Bluetooth low energy. This longevity ensures that your SYNC E is ready for a full day of shooting, whether you’re setting up, syncing, or monitoring your devices. Connectivity is streamlined and reliable with Bluetooth LE. You can easily link your phone to the Tentacle SYNC E by simply bringing them close together, eliminating the hassles often associated with traditional Bluetooth pairing. Monitoring and setup are intuitively handled through your phone, eliminating the need for a built-in display on the Tentacle devices. The Tentacle Sync app transforms your smartphone into a frame-accurate timecode display and setup interface, negating the need for additional expensive equipment. The Tentacle’s syncing algorithms allow frame-accurate monitoring via the app, ensuring precise synchronization across all your devices. Each Sync E unit acts as an independent master, broadcasting timecode via Bluetooth to nearly any mobile device, creating a seamless sync network straight out of the box without the need for new technology. An exceptional feature of the SYNC E is its high-quality built-in microphone. Unlike other timecode equipment that sacrifices internal audio when connected to a DSLR-type camera, the SYNC E records both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously, ensuring that no audio detail is lost. The Tentacle SYNC E also includes a “Tentacle Clamp,” making the connector lockable and ensuring secure connections. The use of a common 3.5mm mini-jack enhances its versatility and user-friendliness. In addition to its hardware prowess, Tentacle Sync also offers professional mobile apps for iOS & Android. These apps, such as the audio recorder and full support for third-party apps like Movie Slate, expand the capabilities of the Tentacle, allowing you to record synced audio directly on your phone. From on-set recording to post-production, every Tentacle unit includes Tentacle Sync Studio software for macOS, facilitating effortless material synchronisation with a single click. The software is compatible with various timecode sources, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow. The Single Set combined with our TRACK E timecode audio recorder is the perfect workflow solution for any video shooting from YouTube and Wedding applications to Multicam setups as well as post production syncing tasks. The Set also includes a license for the renowned Tentacle Sync Studio Software for macOS, for fast and easy synchronisation of your audio and video footage.
