Description
Product Overview
The Tentacle Sync TB1 TIMEBAR Timecode Display combines a high-contrast OLED screen with a precision 0.2 ppm TCXO timecode generator for visible synchronization across studio and on-set production workflows. TIMEBAR can operate as a timecode display or standalone generator, while additional timer, stopwatch, message, and slate modes expand its use for directors, presenters, camera teams, and production crews. Bluetooth 5.2 control through the Tentacle Setup App provides wireless configuration and synchronization with compatible Tentacle devices.
High-Contrast OLED Display
The wide-viewing-angle OLED display presents timecode and timing information with high contrast for clear visibility by directors, camera teams, presenters, and other crew members across studio and on-set environments.
0.2 ppm Precision Timecode Generator
A high-precision TCXO delivers 0.2 ppm accuracy with less than one frame of drift over 24 hours, supporting dependable LTC synchronization across professional production workflows.
3.5mm Timecode In & Out
The 3.5 mm connector supports LTC timecode input and output, allowing TIMEBAR to receive, generate, or distribute timecode within compatible camera, audio, and synchronization setups.
Timer, Stopwatch & Message Modes
Beyond timecode display, TIMEBAR can operate as a timer, countdown, stopwatch, custom-message display, or slate display, expanding its usefulness for studio timing, presentations, and production communication.
Bluetooth 5.2 Setup App Control
Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy connectivity enables wireless setup, operation, and synchronization through the Tentacle Setup App, including workflows alongside compatible SYNC E and TRACK E devices.
Replaceable 2200 mAh Battery & OLED
The built-in 2200 mAh rechargeable Li-Po battery supports approximately 6 to 80 hours of operation depending on display brightness, with typical runtime around 24 hours. Both the battery and OLED module are designed to be replaceable.
Make Timecode Visible for Cameras Without TC Input
TIMEBAR provides a clearly visible SMPTE LTC reference that can be recorded in frame when working with cameras that lack a dedicated timecode input, supporting faster synchronization and identification during post-production.
Display Timecode, Countdown or Stopwatch Information
Directors, presenters, and studio teams can use TIMEBAR as a visible timecode display, countdown timer, stopwatch, or timing reference during broadcast, live production, interviews, and content creation.
Control and Sync TIMEBAR from the Setup App
Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy connectivity allows TIMEBAR to be configured and synchronized through the Tentacle Setup App, supporting coordinated workflows with compatible SYNC E and TRACK E devices.
