About Tentacle Sync Tentacle Timecode Generator Single Set

If you already own a sound-recorder with a build-in timecode-generator (e.g Sound Devices) then a single set may be suitable for you. In this case you synchronize your Tentacle via JamSync from your recorder with an optional adaptor cable (e.g. LEMO to Tentacle) The super-small and user-friendly timecode generator can be attached to nearly any camera. The free included timecode syncing software for OSX will help you to accelerate your syncing workflow form shooting to post-production.

Tentacle Sync Hardware

The versatile timecode output of Tentacle will allow you to connect Tentacles to nearly every kind of camera or recorder. From a DSLR to an ARRI Alexa, Tentacle works with them. Once connected, you can leave Tentacles on your equipment for the whole day because Tentacles stay frame-accurate for 24 hours and the built-in battery lasts for up to 40 hours.
