Description

Use this app to monitor the timecode of your Bluetooth Tentacle Sync E and Tentacle Track E.

For each device, the following information is available:

・timecode
・frame rate
・battery status
・signal strength

In contrast to the regular "Tentacle Setup" app, this app does not allow for changing the configuration of your Tentacle devices on purpose. The app provides a "read-only" view of your setup, reducing the possibility of accidental misconfiguration.

Pressing the timecode copies the current timecode to the clipboard.

Tentacle Sync E and Tentacle Track E are available at https://shop.tentaclesync.com or from one of our resellers.

Version 1.5.3

- Pressing the timecode copies the current timecode to the clipboard

Perfectly in sync

Awesome tool. Works perfectly.

Slightly off

The Tentacle sync Bluetooth modules pass timecode to my audio recorder and two cameras perfectly, but if I film the TimeBar app the phone's display is always fast by 12-13 frames compared to the TC on the actual media files.

Doesn’t fill display

Seems to work well in my first 10 minutes of testing, but somehow the iPhone version produces a larger read out on my iPhone plus, than the iPad versions, on my iPad mini (even tried to install the iPhone version on my iPad, but was forced into using the iPad version). Why not fill the whole screen? Or better yet, make it adjustable in size, and with memory of the last used size. I LOVE tentacle. I have 2 of the old, and 2 new sync boxes. Couldn’t be happier. This app would be a perfect 5 stars if the numbers would just fill the entire width of the screen!
