The Sync E mkII is built around that job, with support for the common SMPTE rates and a TCXO specified to stay within less than one frame over a full 24-hour period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 mm port can handle timecode input as well as output, so the unit is not tied to one position in the sync chain. It can act as the master clock for another device or be jam-synced from an existing source when the production already has a timing reference in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBluetooth control is useful once several units are mounted around a set. Basic setup and battery management can be handled from the Tentacle Sync E app on iOS or Android instead of physically reaching every box. The small 50 × 38 × 15 mm body and included mounting accessories also make it easy to place on cameras, recorders, or compact rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSystem Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll SMPTE timecode rates\u003c\/strong\u003e are supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e23.98 fps\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported for production workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 fps\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported for production workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25 fps\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported, including 50 fps reference workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e29.97 fps\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported, including 59.94 fps reference workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e29.97 drop-frame\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 fps\u003c\/strong\u003e is supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-precision TCXO\u003c\/strong\u003e is specified for less than 1 frame drift per 24 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.5 mm TRS connection\u003c\/strong\u003e provides timecode input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster-clock mode\u003c\/strong\u003e supports use as the timing source\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJam-sync mode\u003c\/strong\u003e supports synchronization from an external timecode reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.0\u003c\/strong\u003e provides wireless setup and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTentacle Sync E app\u003c\/strong\u003e supports compatible iOS and Android devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in reference microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e provides scratch-audio support\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRechargeable battery type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lithium-ion polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating time\u003c\/strong\u003e: Up to 35 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C fast charging\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a maximum specified charge time of 1.5 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -30 to 85°C (-22 to 185°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 × 38 × 15 mm (2 × 1.5 × 0.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 kg (0.066 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 (Single Set)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x 3.5mm Mini Jack Cable (Right-Angle)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x USB-C Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 x Cable Clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 x Hook-and-Loop Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 x Colored Rubber Band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Software Activation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrusted Seller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoremicro\u003c\/strong\u003e supplies professional AV, broadcast, conferencing, collaboration, camera, and production equipment for installed and portable workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tentacle Sync","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47478800711842,"sku":"TEN-TE1-MK2","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/TentacleSyncTEN-TE1-MK2.jpg?v=1787887905","url":"https:\/\/www.coremicro.com\/products\/tentacle-sync-ten-te1-mk2","provider":"COREMICRO.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
