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:
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.

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.

Meaning
The elapsed time from the start of the take is shown.
If there is no take that matches the time of the
emulated tape, the starting time of the next take is
shown.
The remaining time until the end of the 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.
The emulated tape time is shown.
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.

If the master clock is set to VIDEO and the tape emulation mode is
ON, the VIDEO and time code frame rates must be matched.
For example, if NTSC 29.97Hz VIDEO is the master clock, the project
time code frame type must be set to 29.97DF or 29.97NDF. For this
reason, if the master clock is VIDEO, the STATUS section Project
item of the SYNC T/C screen CLOCK tab has now been made to
show the current time code frame type.

When a take list is shown, by touching the START TC/LENGTH
title area, you can now switch the display between take lengths and
start time codes.
NOTE
During tape emulation, the take list ENTER button and buttons in
pull-up menus are disabled.
