The Zoom H5 can be synchronized with any Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL timecode generator, TIMEBAR timecode display or a TRACK E audio recorder. If you are using the H5 together with a Tentacle device, one track will be used for recording Audio TC along the other mics. 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 MIC or AUTO
- Connect the Tentacle device to the Ext. Mic of the Zoom H5 recorder
- Adjust incoming timecode signal, so that it's not clipping on the audio track
- Set recorder menu:
- Menu > In/Out > Monitoring Mixer
- Select track with the Audio TC signal and lower the monitoring output level, so that you don't listen to it on the headphone output
- Please check if the signal is still leveled correctly in the meter display
