Tentacle Sync TIMEBAR Timecode Slate

Tentacle Sync TIMEBAR Timecode Slate brings the TIMEBAR display, slate board, and clapper into one integrated production tool. Built around a precision acrylic dry-erase board and durable black-and-white clapper sticks, it gives camera and production teams a conventional slate format while adding a dedicated OLED timecode display directly into the workflow.

The TIMEBAR section handles more than display duties. It functions as a timecode generator with 3.5 mm timecode input and output, while timer and stopwatch modes add flexibility for production timing. Bluetooth control and synchronization are built into the workflow, and the supplied holder keeps the TIMEBAR secured to the slate rather than relying on an improvised mount.

Highlights

• Integrated digital timecode slate – combines a physical clapper board with the Tentacle Sync TIMEBAR display
• Timecode generator with I/O – supports timecode input and output through the 3.5 mm interface
• OLED text display – provides a clear digital timecode readout directly on the slate
• Precision acrylic construction – dry-erase writing surface and durable clapper sticks suit repeated production use
• Bluetooth control and sync – allows the TIMEBAR to be controlled, synchronized, and operated wirelessly

Why It Helps

A traditional slate gives the camera department a visual and audible sync point, while a digital timecode display gives postproduction an immediate timing reference. This kit puts both in the same place, so the operator does not have to manage a separate timecode box alongside the slate.

The dedicated TIMEBAR holder is an important part of the setup. It keeps the display fixed in a repeatable position on the slate, which is much cleaner than attaching a separate unit with temporary mounting hardware every time the kit is rebuilt.

The timer, stopwatch, and Bluetooth functions also make the slate useful beyond a basic clap. TIMEBAR can be controlled and synchronized wirelessly, while the supplied BNC cable, USB cable, hex keys, and spare grub screw cover the practical setup and service items needed around the slate.
