ORANVIEW

The TIMEBAR is more than just a timecode display. It is a versatile timecode generator with many additional functions. It can generate timecode from its internal real-time clock or synchronize with any external timecode source. Synchronization can be done by cable or wirelessly via Tentacle Setup App. Once synchronized, the TIMEBAR maintains its synchronization for more than 24 hours independently.

CUMHACHD AIR

CUMHACHD preas goirid:

APP SETUP

Leigidh an App Setup Tentacle leat na h-innealan Tentacle agad a shioncronachadh, a sgrùdadh, a ruith agus a rèiteachadh. Faodaidh tu an App Setup a luchdachadh sìos an seo:

Tòisich ag obair leis an App Setup
Before starting the app it is recommended to switch on your TIMEBAR first. During operation, it constantly transmits timecode and status information via Bluetooth. Since the Setup App will need to communicate with your TIMEBAR via Bluetooth, you should make sure Bluetooth is activated on your mobile device. You must grant the necessary app permissions as well.

LIOSTA DEVICE
The device list is divided into 3 parts. The toolbar at the top contains general status information and the app settings button. In the middle you see a list of all your devices and their respective information. At the bottom you find the Bottom Sheet which can be pulled up.

⚠ Thoir an aire:

• Tentacles can be linked to up to 10 mobile devices at the same time. If you link it to the 11th device, the first (or oldest) one will be dropped and has no longer access to this
• Tentacle. In this case you will need to add it again.

CUIR TENTACLE ÙR GU Liosta innealan
When you open the Tentacle Setup App for the first time, the device list will be empty.

1. Tap air + Cuir inneal ris
2. Thèid liosta de na h-innealan Tentacle faisg air làimh a shealltainn
3. Tagh fear agus cùm an inneal gluasadach agad faisg air
4. Bidh an ìomhaigh Bluetooth ri fhaicinn air taobh clì àrd an taisbeanaidh TIMEBAR
5. Soirbheachas! nochdadh nuair a thèid an TIMEBAR a chur ris

Thoir an aire:
If a Tentacle is out of Bluetooth range for for more than 1 minute, the message will be
Last seen x minutes ago. However, this does not mean that the device is no longer synchronized, but only that no status updates are received. As soon as the Tentacle comes back into range, the current status information will appear again.

Thoir air falbh Tentacle bhon Liosta Innealan
You can remove a Tentacle from the list by swiping to the left and confirm the removal.

SGEUL BAN
Tha an duilleag ìosal ri fhaicinn aig bonn liosta nan innealan.
It contains various buttons to apply actions to multiple
Tentacle devices. For the TIMEBAR only the SYNC button is relevant.

RABHADH DEVICE
Ma nochdas soidhne rabhaidh, faodaidh tu tapadh gu dìreach air an ìomhaigh agus tha mìneachadh goirid air a thaisbeanadh.

Ìre frèam neo-chunbhalach: This indicates two or more Tentacles generating timecode with mismatching frame rates.

Chan ann ann an sioncranachadh: This warning message is displayed, when inaccuracies of more than half a frame occur between all synchronized devices. Sometimes this warning can pop up for a few seconds, when starting the app from background. In most cases the app just needs some time to update each Tentacle. However, if the warning message persists for more than 10 seconds you should consider re-syncing your Tentacles

Bataraidh ìosal: This warning message is displayed, when the battery level is below 7%.

DÙTHCHAS VIEW (APP SETUP)
In the Setup App’s device list, tap on your TIMEBAR to establish an active Bluetooth connection to the device and access its device view. Tha ceangal gnìomhach Bluetooth air a chomharrachadh le ìomhaigh antenna beòthail air taobh clì àrd an taisbeanaidh TIMEBAR.

Aig a 'mhullach, gheibh thu fiosrachadh bunaiteach mun inneal leithid inbhe TC, FPS, tomhas toraidh, agus inbhe bataraidh. Fon sin, tha an taisbeanadh brìgheil TIMEBAR, a’ sealltainn na tha cuideachd ri fhaicinn air an fhìor TIMEBAR. A bharrachd air an sin, faodar an clàr-ama obrachadh air astar le putanan A agus B.

 MODE TIMECODE
Anns a ’mhodh seo, tha an TIMEBAR a’ taisbeanadh clàr-ama gach inneal ceangailte a bharrachd air inbhe ruith a ’chòd-tìm.

• Seallaidh TIMEBAR pìosan cleachdaiche airson 5 diogan
• TIMEBAR will hold timecode for 5 seconds

Custom Timecode	You can set a custom timecode or set your Tentacle device to phone time. Tap on “Set Timecode” and a dialog window will pop up Custom timecode: edit the preset timecode and confirm by tapping on Set Timecode Set to Phone Time: tap on Set to Phone Time and the app will fetch the Time of Day from your mobile device and set the internal RTC (Real Time Clock) to that time
⚠ Please chan eile: The timecode display not guaranteed to be	of the device setup menu is for informational purposes only. It is 100% frame accurate with the timecode
Frame Rate	Tap on “Frame Rate” and select one from the dropdown menu. Tentacle generates the following SMPTE Standard frame rates: 23,98, 24, 25, 29,97, 29,97 DropFrame and 30 fps. For frame rates higher than 30 fps, please select a frame rate that is a factor of it e.g. shooting 60 fps > set timecode to 30 fps

User Bits	User bits enable you to embed additional information into the timecode signal such as the calendar date or a camera ID. These bits usually consist of eight hexadecimal digits, which are able to handle values from 0-9 and a-f.
Currently Active User Bits	Tha na pìosan cleachdaiche SMPTE a tha a ’ruith an-dràsta air an taisbeanadh an seo.
Custom User Bits	Enable by using the toggle switch on the right. Edit by tapping on it and pressing x. Characters available: a-f; 0-9
RTC Date	The user bits are set to the Real Time Clock. Choose from 6 different date formats for the Real Time Clock.
Otoradh Volume	Once your TIMEBAR is synchronized, it is outputting a LTC timecode signal through the 3.5 mm jack. If you connect your TIMEBAR to send timecode to a recording device or studio environment, you have to select the output volume of your timecode signal according to the needs of the recording device.
LINN	Professional cameras with a dedicated TC-IN connector demand timecode with LINE-level. Usually a LEMO or BNC connector is used for Line level signals.
MIC	Tentacle can also be used with cameras and recorders without a dedicated TC-IN connector. In such case you need to record the timecode signal as an audio signal on an audio track of that device. Some devices only accept microphone-level audio, so you have to adjust the output level through the setup app in order to prevent distortion of the timecode signal. Usually a mini jack or XLR input is used for Mic level signals.
