Description
Product Overview
The Tentacle Sync TE1-MK2 SYNC E mkII Timecode Generator provides precise SMPTE LTC synchronization for professional camera, production sound, multicamera, and post-production workflows. Its high-precision 0.2 ppm TCXO maintains less than one frame of drift over 24 hours, while Bluetooth 5 Low Energy enables wireless setup and monitoring through the Tentacle Setup App. The compact 30 g generator can operate as a master clock or jam-sync from an external timecode source.
Timecode Generator and Jam-Sync for Cameras & Recorders
The SYNC E mkII uses a lockable 3.5 mm connection for LTC timecode input and output. It can generate SMPTE timecode as a master clock or jam-sync from an external source for compatible camera and production audio workflows.
Its compact design makes the TE1-MK2 practical for multicamera shoots, location sound, interviews, events, and production rigs where synchronized camera and recorder clocks simplify post-production.
Wireless Control with the Tentacle Setup App
Bluetooth 5 Low Energy provides wireless access to setup, monitoring, and synchronization functions through the Tentacle Setup App on compatible iOS and Android devices.
Camera and sound crews can configure and monitor the SYNC E mkII while it remains mounted to a camera or recorder, helping streamline multicamera and location production workflows.
Professional SMPTE Frame Rate Support
The TE1-MK2 supports 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 29.97DF, and 30 fps timecode rates, with corresponding support for 50 and 60 fps production workflows.
Broad SMPTE frame rate support makes the SYNC E mkII suitable for cinema, broadcast, documentary, event, and multicamera productions using compatible cameras and audio recorders.
0.2 ppm Precision TCXO
Maintains less than one frame of drift over 24 hours for dependable professional timecode synchronization.
Up to 50-Hour Battery Runtime
The built-in 400 mAh rechargeable Li-Po battery supports extended production days with USB-C charging.
Built-In Reference Microphone
Integrated scratch audio provides an additional reference for clip identification and picture-to-sound alignment in post.
Synchronize Multiple Cameras with a Shared LTC Reference
The SYNC E mkII can provide a common SMPTE LTC reference across compatible cameras and recorders, helping multicamera productions maintain consistent timing throughout interviews, events, documentaries, and professional production days.
Jam-Sync from an Existing Timecode Source
The lockable 3.5 mm LTC connection allows the TE1-MK2 to receive timecode from an external source and maintain that reference with its high-precision 0.2 ppm TCXO.
