TIMEBAR Timecode Slate is an all-in-one digital kit for the Tentacle Sync ecosystem. It combines the TIMEBAR, a high-quality acrylic board, clapper sticks and a custom Filmsticks holder.

The TIMEBAR can be detached quickly from the clapperboard and used independently as a timecode generator, timer, stopwatch or text display, with control from the Tentacle Setup App. The OLED display provides high contrast, a wide viewing angle and low power consumption.
