For Devices Without a Dedicated Timecode Input

Tentacle → XLR Audio Input
The C04 is wired to send LTC timecode from the Tentacle toward the connected XLR-equipped device.
It is not intended for feeding external XLR timecode into the Tentacle. That reverse workflow requires a different Tentacle cable.
Record LTC Through XLR
Feed Tentacle timecode into a compatible camera XLR input and record the LTC signal onto an audio track.
Add Timecode to Compatible Recorders
Connect the Tentacle to supported audio equipment when dedicated timecode connectivity is not available.
Capture LTC for Later Synchronization
Record Tentacle LTC as an audio signal that can be used during post-production synchronization workflows.
Camera Assistants
Adding Tentacle LTC to cameras with compatible XLR inputs.

How is timecode recorded when using the C04?
The Tentacle sends LTC through the XLR connection so the connected device can record the timecode signal onto an audio track.
