Line Input Trim function

A function has been added that allows you to use the input trim knobs to adjust the input levels of line inputs. A Line Input Trim item that has been added to the PREFERENCE page of the SYSTEM SETUP screen. If you set it to “Enable”, you can use the input trim knobs to adjust the input levels of line level inputs. Options include MUTE and a range from −20.0 dB to +20.0 dB.
NOTE
• In the same way as when adjusting the input level of a MIC input, turning an input trim knob will cause the gain value to be shown briey in the track name display area below the meter on the Home Screen.
• If the INPUT SOURCE setting is set to a digital input, the input level cannot be adjusted.

TC SYNC REC function

A function has been added that allows you to make this unit automatically start and pause recording in response to the state of an external timecode signal.
• A TC SYNC REC button has been added to the TC GEN MODE item on the SETUP page of the TC/SYNC screen. When in TC SYNC REC mode, recording starts when the unit synchronizes to external timecode, and recording pauses when external timecode synchronization is lost.
• When TC SYNC REC mode is set, the TC indicator on the Home Screen appears as follows.
A function has been added that allows you to change the names of takes. Follow the procedures below to do so.
1. On a take selection screen, select that take that you want to rename.
2. Touch the MENU button on the take selection screen to open a pull-up menu (An EDIT NAME button, which is shown framed in red below, has been added to this pull-up menu).

Mirror recording function added

A mirror recording function has been added that allows you to record simultaneously to 2 CF cards. In order to make the mirror recording setting easy to see on the screen, indicators have been added to the CF card remaining time display button on the Home Screen. These indicators show the status of both CF cards: recording possible, recording not possible, or not ready for recording.

Recording times when set to mirror recording

Since mirror recording has a high processing load, the unit cannot write to a CF card fast enough when the card’s remaining capacity becomes low, so it is not possible to write to the media until it is completely full. For this reason, compared to single recording, the possible recording time is shorter. Moreover, when mirror recording, the processing load also increases when the number of recorded les is great, so the possible recording time is shorter when using monophonic le mode compared to when using polyphonic mode.

Slate on status can now be retained

Previously, the signal from the slate mic or the slate tone (built-in oscillator) was only assigned to the armed tracks while the SLATE key on the front panel was being pushed. Now, if you press the SLATE key while pressing and holding the SHIFT key, the SLATE function can be turned ON indenitely. This operation can not be performed from the RC-F82 (fader unit designed for the HS-P82).

Mid-side (MS) microphone connection mode added

The unit can now decode signals from MS microphones. In addition to decoding as it records, the unit can also record without decoding and then decode during payback.

OFF (default):
In the default mode, this function is o during recording and playback.
INPUT:
Use this mode to decode while recording. Decoding is not applied during playback.
MONITOR:
When MS mic signals are being recorded without decoding in order to be decoded later, use this mode to decode just for monitoring while recording. Use this mode also when playing back takes that were recorded using an MS mic without decoding.

To use this unit’s MS decoding function, connect the mid to the odd channel and the side to the even channel. If the mid and side are connected in reverse, decoding will not be conducted correctly. For example, connect mid to CH3 and side to CH4.
ª Recording without MS decoding
You can record a take without decoding (recording the mid and side signals as is) and then decode it during playback. By decoding during playback, the recording will be output as a stereo mix. To record without decoding, set the decode mode to
MONITOR. When set to MONITOR, you can monitor with decoding
even when the sound is recorded without it. Adjust the MS balance and output in the same manner as when recording with decoding. (The recorded les are not decoded.)

NOTE
Since the “Next Take Name” setting is saved by project, if the project is changed, that project’s setting will be used.
The numerical portion of the second half of the take name can be changed even during playback and recording. (The first half of the take name and the letter in the second half can only be changed when the unit is stopped.)
If the first half of the take name or the letter in the second half is different, it is now possible to create takes that have the same three digits in the latter half.

Mono file recording folder selection

When the le mode is set to MONO mode, you can now select from two types of folders for recording audio les. The default setting is
SubFolder.
NOTE
In either mode, subfolders are created for each take inside folders, and this is where the management files are generated.
Moreover, the following pop-up window opens when switching back to Subfolder mode to let you know that the maximum number of takes has been increased again
During recording, if you press the REC key to try to start
•
the next take, the next take can be recorded 4 seconds after starting recording when in poly mode or mono subfolder mode. In folder mode, however, some cases will take more than 4 seconds.
ª SubFolder mode
In the same way as before, subfolders are created for each take inside folders, and recorded audio les are saved in them.
ª Folder mode
Recorded audio les are saved directly inside the folder.
NOTE
Whether the file mode is set to “Poly” or “Mono,” when
•
Folder mode is selected, the maximum number of takes that can be recorded in one folder might be signifi­cantly less than usual in some cases. For this reason, the following pop-up window opens when switching to Folder mode, warning that the maximum number of takes will be reduced.
