Description
Product Overview
The Tentacle Sync TB1-SL TIMEBAR Timecode Slate combines the Tentacle TIMEBAR multipurpose timecode display with a precision acrylic Roll / Scene / Take board, durable clapper sticks, and a custom removable holder. Designed for professional camera and production workflows, the complete slate provides visible SMPTE LTC timecode, a high-contrast OLED display, 0.2 ppm TCXO accuracy, Bluetooth control, and dedicated slate functionality in one modular system.
Complete TIMEBAR Digital Slate
The TB1-SL includes the Tentacle TIMEBAR display together with the acrylic slate board, clapper sticks, custom holder, cables, and supporting hardware required for a complete digital timecode slate setup.
Precision Acrylic Slate Board
The precision-engineered acrylic board uses a dedicated Roll / Scene / Take layout and durable clapper sticks for traditional production identification and slate operation on set.
0.2 ppm Timecode Generator
TIMEBAR uses a high-precision 0.2 ppm TCXO with less than one frame of drift over 24 hours, supporting accurate SMPTE LTC synchronization across professional camera and production workflows.
Dedicated Slate Mode with TC Freeze
Dedicated slate mode can freeze the displayed timecode at the clap, helping camera and post-production teams identify the exact slate event before the display continues with additional configured slate information.
Bluetooth 5.2 Setup App Control
Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy connectivity enables wireless setup, synchronization, messages, timer settings, and slate configuration through the Tentacle Setup App on compatible mobile devices.
Modular User-Replaceable Components
The slate system is designed for long-term serviceability with user-replaceable slate components, while the TIMEBAR battery and OLED display module can also be replaced when required.
Capture a Clear Digital Slate Reference on Set
The TB1-SL combines a traditional Roll / Scene / Take clapperboard with the TIMEBAR OLED display, giving camera assistants and production crews a visible timecode reference for scripted, commercial, documentary, and multi-camera shoots.
Keep Camera and Sound Workflows Aligned
TIMEBAR can operate as a visible SMPTE LTC display and precision timecode generator, helping crews maintain a common timing reference across compatible camera, audio, and Tentacle Sync workflows.
Detach TIMEBAR for Timer or Message Display Use
The removable TIMEBAR can be separated from the slate and used independently as a timer, stopwatch, message display, or visible timecode reference, giving production teams additional flexibility between takes and across studio setups.
