The Zoom F4 has a dedicated BNC Timecode input, so you can use your Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL timecode generator, a TIMEBAR timecode display or a TRACK E audio recorder as a timecode source. We recommend to have a Tentacle device connected to your F4 as a timecode source the entire shooting day for a hassle free workflow. For more information about Tentacle syncing workflow with the Setup App, click here.
Proceed as follows:
- Set your audio recorder and Tentacle device to the same frame rate
- Sync your Tentacle and set the Output Volume in the app to LINE or AUTO
- Set F4 menu:
- Menu > Timecode > Mode > Ext > Ext. Audio CLK Sync > On
- Connect your Tentacle to the BNC Timecode input of the Zoom F4
