New functions in firmware V1.20

A tape emulation mode has been added for use with an editor/

synchronizer that supports the Sony P2 protocol using the RS-422

connector.

Tape emulation mode

The tape emulation mode emulates linear time-based operation

like that of tape. Using transport control via RS-422, the unit can be

operated like a tape machine. With “00:00:00:00” as the tape starting

point, each take is located by its start TC position.

Example:

01:00:00:00

02:00:00:00 02:50:00:00

02:00:00:00

03:00:00:00

NOTE

Only takes in the currently loaded folder can be played back in this

mode. Takes in other folders cannot be played back in tape emulation

mode.

REMOTE SETUP screen RS-422 page

ON and OFF buttons have been added for the RS-422 tape emulation

function. Turning it ON will automatically pause the transport. This

function only works when the Serial Mode is set to RS-422.

NOTE

If the HS-8 is playing back in emulation mode, changing settings

will not be possible. The following pop-up will appear if you try to

change a setting. (Some settings are excluded from this restriction.)

To change a setting, press the STOP key once to stop the transport

beforehand. After making the change, press the PL AY or PAUSE key

to resume emulation mode.

Home Screen

When the tape emulation mode is ON, TAPE appears as the left

indicator (1) at the top right of the Home Screen.

When a take that is playing back matches the time of the emulated

tape, this indicator appears lit.

When there is no take that matches the time of the emulated tape,

this indicator blinks.

When the tape emulation function is ON, the time code display (2)

is limited to one of the following three types.

Display (2)

The elapsed time from the start of the take is shown.

emulated tape, the starting time of the next take is

shown. If there is no take that matches the time of

the emulated tape, the remaining time (length) of

the next take is shown.
