The Tentacle TIMEBAR is the ultimate all-rounder among timecode displays, combining versatility with a clear, high-contrast OLED screen. Its unique alphanumeric design ensures excellent readability in the studio, on set, or during live productions. It can be used as a standalone timecode generator, a clearly visible TC display for directors and crew, or as a timer/stopwatch for presenters and content creators. Custom text messages can even be displayed via the Tentacle Setup App. Thanks to its energy-efficient OLED display, the TIMEBAR is designed to last an entire shooting day while consuming very little power. Both the display and the battery are easily replaceable, allowing for long-term use. Seamless Bluetooth® integration with the Tentacle Setup App ensures intuitive control within the Tentacle workflow. Designed and manufactured in Germany, the TIMEBAR is built for reliable, everyday production use.
