In the earlier discussion of the HRS-30, its standout features were its extended recording time and large monitoring screen. These two features are specifically designed for EFP multi-machine operations. The equipment in the field for EFP is not as comprehensive as that in the studio, and backup devices are always available for immediate substitution. Therefore, it is not just a recording device; all EFP equipment must have the capability to be versatile and multifunctional, allowing the equipment to play the right roles and serve as the best operational tools.
Versatility and multifunctionality mean that the equipment must have various application modes. In addition to recording, the HRS-30 can also serve as a monitoring screen for PGM and has a playback function for Mark In. It is not just a single-function device but can adapt to different functions as needed by the production. Since the HRS-30 can multitask, let's introduce the different functions and how they can be applied in operations.
In case there is an oversight in pressing the Mark In key and a spectacular moment is missed, the HRS-30 also has a function to play the last 15 seconds of footage when recording stops. This feature serves as a backup for moments missed due to not executing the Mark In function.
Monitoring Regarding the broadcast devices currently available from various brands, almost all uniformly use the MultiView function for input and output monitoring. Therefore, as long as there is a monitor available, it can be used for directing operations. However, in directing operations, a monitor is still needed to view the PGM output. Therefore, the role of the HRS-30 must meet the needs of directing. In its design, a 10.1-inch screen is specially incorporated. Besides monitoring the recording status during recording, the screen of the HRS-30 transforms into a monitoring display for the director's PGM output during directing operations. This allows the director to monitor both the PGM and the recording status simultaneously, achieving dual functionality in one.
