Once your TIMEBAR Timecode Slate is assembled, it only takes a few steps to set it up. For more information about Tentacle syncing workflow with the Setup App, click here.
Proceed as follows:
- Download and open the latest Setup App software for iOS or Android on your phone
- Make sure you have the latest firmware for TIMEBAR installed
- Switch on the TIMEBAR and add it as a new device to your Setup App device list
- Sync your TIMEBAR and go to its menu
- Set Timebar Mode > Slate Mode
- Press Start Calibration, a dialogue window will open and guide you through it (calibration has to be done just once)
- To customize the timecode and information displayed after a clap, set the associated timecode, user bits and text hold time to your desired length. If set to 0 seconds, this information won't be displayed
- If you want to add a custom text (up to 8 characters), just tap on the text field and the keyboard will pop up to edit a text, press Enter to confirm text
Note:
When the TIMEBAR is set to Timecode or Slate Mode, it remembers the mode even after it is turned off. So when you turn it on the next day, it is still in Slate or Timecode Mode.
