TASCAM’s
HS-2000
&
HS-4000
are built for the needs of modern
broadcast facilities and post studios. Recordings are captured on a reliable
solid-state-based transport to a pair of Compact Flash cards, either individu-
ally or to both for redundancy. Confidence Monitoring is available to listen
to audio off the card while recording. In addition to recording and logging
tasks, both recorders include on-air and monitor play modes. The HS-4000
can function as two independant playback transports, each with flash start.
Audio on the HS-2000 & HS-4000 is captured as Broadcast WAV files,
including a timestamp from the SMPTE input source. The transport can be
controlled over RS-232C, RS-422, Parallel or LAN control. Balanced ana-
log audio is interfaced through XLR connectors, and multi-channel AES/EBU
digital I/O is available.
Both recorders feature a color TFT touchscreen which is used to change set-
tings and view meters, making the GUI simple to use. Three remote controls
are available with a variety of flash start, transport and fader functions.
