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
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.

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 PLAY or PAUSE key
to resume emulation mode.
Home Screen
ª
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.

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

shown. If there is no take that matches the time of
the emulated tape, the remaining time (length) of
the next take is shown.
