SETTING UP YOUR TENTACLES
-
Before using your Tentacles you should set up some basic parameters like frame rate, name and
output volume. You can do this through our setup app which is available for OS X, Windows, iOS
and Android.
Download the appropriate setup app for your computer or smartphone here:
For more information about using the setup app please read the section TENTACLE SETUP
APP down below in this document.

Please note: The setup-procedure is only needed once for a project, no computer is
needed on set for normal use.

GETTING STARTED
SWITCHING ON AND OPERATING MODES:
-
Basically Tentacles can be started in two modes:
-
Green-Mode:
During switch-on, keep the power-button pressed until the LED is flashing green
(-> 3sec.) In this mode Tentacle fetches the „Time of Day“ from the build in RTC (Real Time
Clock), loads it into the timecode generator and starts generating and outputting Timecode
over the 3.5mm Jack.
-
Red-Mode:
During switch-on, just press the power-button shortly (app. 1sec.), LED is flashing
red. In this mode Tentacle waits for external timecode from the 3.5mm Jack. Once it has
received a proper timecode-signal from an external device like a sound-recorder, a camera or
any other master clock, it JamSyncs to it and switches automatically over to Green-Mode.
Here it generates and outputs the jammed timecode over the 3.5mm Jack.
