Tascam HS-8 Software Manual

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:
Time line
Take 1
01:00:00:00
