A T/C Frame SYNC REC function has been added to the REC MODE page of
the REC SETUP screen. This function starts recording precisely at the next

Example
NOTE
This unit notes recording start timestamps with sample precision. For this
reason, in editing environments that round audio file positions to frame preci-
sion (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.
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.
Sound Report file output function added
A Sound Report function has been added that exports current take list infor-
mation 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.
