Q: 1. Can I use these to generate timecode on iPhone 15 pro's? I take it I need one unit for each phone?Does it need to remain plug'd?

A: Yes, each device you would like accurate sync with should have a Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator connected to it. Leaving them connected would maintain accurate sync.

Q: 2. Is the older non Bluetooth version compatible with this mkII version?

A: Yes, one can sync between Tentacle Sync models using a 3.5mm cable when a wireless sync model is not present.

Q: 3. If it does not record internally, then is just a timecode generator that accept a timecode input and output timecode too using 3.5 mm for any camera or sound device and bluetooth compatible with a Tentacle Sync product?

A: The Tentacle SYNC E's generate a Timecode standard called SMPTE 12M. This standard is widely used in broadcast productions. Some camera can read the signal and embed it into the metadata of the video files they record. Others can't do this, like most of the DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. On these cameras, you can record the same signal on an audio track along the video. This is called Audio TC. Some editing programs like AVID Media Composer, or DaVinci Resolve can directly read the Audio TC, others need to have it embedded first before you can sync the files. For this, Tentacle offers software: Tentacle Sync Studio (macOS) or Tentacle Timecode Tool (Windows)

Q: 4. Does this affect the audio I get through the MI shoe on a Sony A7SIII using the ECM-W2BT?

A: The Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 would use one channel of audio to record timecode info. Audio timecode is recorded on the left channel, while the scratch audio of the Sync E is recorded on the right channel. A solution like the Tentacle Sync E would be used for an external audio recorder, and you would not be recording audio in camera. The A7SIII has four audio channels to work with, so you should still be able to use your Hot Shoe mic. SONY A7SIII Audio channels: https://bit.ly/4984FH7
