Tentacle Sync E MK2 Smart Bluetooth Timecode Generator, Standard Set - TE2-MK2

Share

The Tentacle SYNC E MK2, Standard Set—with two SYNC E mkII devices—is a complete hardware/software solution offering timecode synchronization over Bluetooth. It includes two free licenses of Tentacle Sync Studio Software for 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.

The Tentacle SYNC E, combined with the 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.

Sync Over Bluetooth
With Bluetooth LE (low energy), your SYNC E offers a battery life of up to 35 hours no matter if you use it for setup, syncing or monitoring your devices. 

You can also forget the old phone/car radio connectivity problems. With Bluetooth LE, you simply hold your phone close to your Tentacle SYNC E to link it with your app.

Syncing Device for Any Video Shoot
Tentacle devices intentionally do not have a built-in display. 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.

Tentacle's sync algorithms allow you to monitor your Octopodes with frame accuracy via the Tentacle Sync app.

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.

Excellent Internal Microphone
Connecting timecode equipment to the mic input of a DSLR-type camera cuts off the internal audio. Tentacle SYNC E is the only solution available with a high-quality built-in 'scratch' mic. Record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously with just one single device.

Secure Clamp for Connector
No need to buy extra, non-standard and unusual cables or connectors. The Tentacle SYNC E now comes with a clamp, making the connector lockable. And to make things even easier, Sync E comes with 3.5mm mini jack, the most common and versatile connector in the world.

Free iOS & Android Apps
Tentacle Sync also offers additional native iOS and Android apps such as the audio recorder. Just use your phone for recording synced audio. Third party apps such as Movie Slate also have full Tentacle support, making it even easier to shoot professional video on the go.
