You can synchronize your Canon C100 camera with any Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL timecode generator, TRACK E audio recorder or TIMEBAR timecode display. For more information about Tentacle syncing workflow with the Setup App, click here.
Proceed as follows
- Set the Tentacle device and the camera to the frame rate
- Sync your Tentacle and set the Output Volume in the app to MIC or LINE depending on the timecode input you are using
- Connect your Tentacle device either to the 3.5 mm mic input or to one of the XLR inputs of the C100
Recommended cables
C07 Tentacle to DSLR-Timecode Cable
C04 Tentacle to XLR-Timecode Cable
Setup Canon C100:
- If you are using the camera's 3.5 mm mic input and the handle is attached please select INT at the top handle. The camera will automatically switch from the internal microphone to the Tentacle connected to the 3.5 mm input. Set the correct volume either on the top handle's gain knobs or in the audio menu, when the handle isn't attached.
To do so, go to Audio Setup > Audio Input > MIC Level > Manual. Then set the volume. - If you are using the XLR input, go to the audio menu Audio Setup > Audio Input > XLR Rec Channel > Ch 1 or Ch2
Note:
Be aware when using the 3.5 mm mic input of the C100 without the top handle, that the built-in microphone of the Tentacle will not be supplied with phantom power and therefore won't work. Also, without phantom power the option "Auto Mic Level" of the Tentacle does not work, so you have to set the level of the input manually to MIC.
