Arri Alexa XT Plus issue with Tentacle sync box

7.20K viewsHardwarearri alexa xt plus

Hi,

I had some issues using Tentacles Boxes on Arri Alexa XT Plus. In EXT TC and Regen, in 5-10 minutes, the camera showed: system error broken timecode. And the camera needs a restart… and, obviously, unable to use my tentacles boxes for the rest of the day

is normal? Cause I had some collegues with the same issue with the same camera…

my boxes are with the last firmware and the camera firmware is 11.0.1

Can you help me?

Kind regards,

 

Jordi Salinas

Urich and I tried everything to cause a crash of an ARRI Alexa XT. We did a lot of tests with tuned Tentacles and broken cables but this XT we had at ARRI Rental Cologne was not getting worked up!

I asked Mathias from ARRI Service if their developer have any idea so far. We hope to get feedback that getting us anywhere.

Until than I just would recommend not to use a Tentacle with an XT in Regen Mode.

If there are any news I will let you know.

Thank you! Max
