Ko te Taupānga Tatūnga Tentacle ka taea e koe te tukutahi, te aro turuki, te whakahaere me te whakarite i o taputapu Tentacle. Ka taea e koe te tango i te Taupānga Tatūnga i konei:

Tīmatahia te mahi me te Taupānga Tatūnga
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.

RĀrangi Pūrere
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.

⚠ Kia mahara:

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.

Tāpirihia he taraka hou ki te rarangi taputapu
When you open the Tentacle Setup App for the first time, the device list will be empty.

Patohia te + Tāpiri Pūrere

Kia mahara:
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.

You can remove a Tentacle from the list by swiping to the left and confirm the removal.

Auau anga orite: This indicates two or more Tentacles generating timecode with mismatching frame rates.

Kaore i te honohono: 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

Pūhiko iti: This warning message is displayed, when the battery level is below 7%.

Ka pupuri te TIMEBAR mo te 5 hēkona

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 kaoree: 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	Kei te whakaatuhia mai i konei nga waahanga kaiwhakamahi SMPTE timecode kaiwhakamahi.
Custom User Bits	Whakahohe ma te whakamahi i te pana takahuri i te taha matau. Whakatikatika ma te paopao ki runga ka pehi i te x. Ngā pūāhua e wātea ana: af; 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.
Owhakaputanga Volume	Ina tukutahia to TIMEBAR, kei te whakaputahia he tohu tohu waatea LTC ma te 3.5 mm jack. Mena ka honoa e koe to TIMEBAR ki te tuku wawaewae ki tetahi taputapu rekoata, taiao studio ranei, me kowhiria e koe te rōrahi putanga o to tohu tohu wa e ai ki nga hiahia o te taputapu hopu.
RINA	Ko nga kaamera ngaio me te hononga hono TC-IN whakatapua e hiahia ana ki te tohu waahi me te taumata-LINE. Ko te tikanga ka whakamahia he hononga LEMO, BNC ranei mo nga tohu taumata Raina.
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.
