This function starts recording precisely at the next timecode generator frame division. REC STOP Position function added A REC STOP Position function has been added to the REC MODE page of the REC SETUP screen. This function allows you to set the position after recording stops to either the start or the end of the take. REC STOP POSITION Take Start (default): After recording, the unit stops at the start of the take that was recorded. Use this setting when you want to play a take immediately after recording, for example. Take End: After recording, the unit stops at the end of the take that was recorded. Use this setting when you want to check the take length or take end timecode using the time counter, for example. Added display of take end timecode on take selection screen An "END T/C" time display column, which shows the timecode of the take end, has been added to the take list screen. T/C Frame Sync REC OFF (default): Recording starts when the operation to start recording occurs regardless of the timecode generator value. ON: Recording starts precisely at the next timecode generator frame division. Example Recording start operation Frame division 02 03 04 Timecode time 05 T/C Frame Sync Rec：OFF T/C Frame Sync Rec：ON NOTE This unit notes recording start timestamps with sample precision. For this reason, in editing environments that round audio file positions to frame precision (e.g. AVID Media Composer, OMF files, etc.), the positions of files recorded by this unit will be off when synchronized with video. By turning this function on, recording will be started precisely at the next timecode generator frame division, so the original positions of files recorded by this unit can be preserved when synchronized with video in such editing environments. Sound Report file output function added A Sound Report function has been added that exports current take list information as a CSV file. 1. Open the current take list. 2. Press the MENU button to open the pull-up menu, and touch the CREATE Report button. NOTE The CREATE Report button will only appear for the current take list. D01162820C TASCAM HS-8 1
