Latest firmware :V1.10
TASCAM's HS-2000 provides broadcast and post studios with the functions of timecode DAT on a reliable solid-state-based transport. Recordings are captured to a pair of Compact Flash cards, either individually or to both for redundancyConfidence Monitoring is available to listen to audio off the card while recording. In addition to recording and logging tasks, the HS-2000 includes On-air and monitor play modes.
Audio on the HS-2000 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 analog audio is interfaced through XLR connectors, and multi-channel AES/EBU digital I/O is available.
A color TFT touchscreen is used to change settings and view meters on the HS-2000, making the GUI simple to use. Three remote controls are available with a variety of flash start, transport and fader functions.

Master recorder/player optimized for the broadcast industry | To TOP |
Mirror recording can be said to be ideal regardless of whether or not you are recording to solid-state media. You can utilize the dual card slots of the HS-2000 for mirror recording to two CF cards. |
Not only can you use various remote controls and external control interfaces, you can even use all of them at the same time. Since these units prioritize response to the most recent command signal received, complicated connections and interface devices are unnecessary. |
These units also have excellent features for use as stereo broadcast playback devices, including functions specifically for broadcast transmission. Using the on-air mode, you can transmit files placed in the root folder of the CF card. The online playback function is like that of previous products and allows you to use separate circuits for monitoring and transmission even when using just one of these units. |
The pursuit of operational efficiency | To TOP |
The definition of "superior operability" depends on the use conditions and the operator. The HS-2000 includes four operation modes in order to respond to various conditions and user needs. |
Using a network, even more flexibility and a wider range of applications are possible. With support for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, these units use the common file transfer protocol (FTP), which is not restricted to specific systems. As a result, you can access these units from computers running Windows, Macintosh, UNIX and many other operating systems. Files sent to systems can be stored and otherwise worked with in a variety of ways. In addition, a telnet remote control environment that works over networks is also supported. These features contribute to making user systems and workflows more efficient. |
In addition to using RTOS, we have considered operational security from a variety of angles. All of the connectors include locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection. Moreover, the power button and other important keys have button guards. When these guards are unneeded, they can be removed and the unit can be used without them. Of course, the unit also has a panel lock function. |
The pursuit of operability | To TOP |
The graphical user interface shared by the HS series enables intuitive and straightforward operation. The menus are sinple with only one level and you can return to the Home Screen with one touch when you complete making a setting. Compared to past products in which the amount of information on screen was limited, these units enable stress-free operation. |

These units support Virtual Network Computing (VNC) over local area networks (LAN). You can view the screen of an HS-2000 on a computer connected to it on the same LAN. When doing so, you can also operate the unit's screen using a mouse. Our lineup also includes the IF-D4000VN, which is a device dedicated to VNC display. (Inquire for details.) |
The pursuit of durability | To TOP |
CF cards that boast high durability because their contracts are not exposed are used for the recording media. High durability also results from using media that do not require rotating mechanisms. This helps realize recording and playback equipment with the critical trait of high reliability as well as resistance to vibrations and other features that allow them to be used in all types of situations, including field recording. Since they require little maintenance, they reduce expenses over time. Moreover this type of media makes audio file management and utilization easy. In order to provide CF cards especially for TASCAM devices that eliminate the internal structural variations that normally occur different production batches. |
Since the layout includes one circuit board for each connector, not only do they boast excellent strength against twisting and pulling from cables, interference with other connectors is also suppressed. Since these systems are designed to be movable, if unexpected force is applied to cables when parts of the system are moved individually, their excellent resistance to these stresses can prevent accidents. |
An aluminum materials is used in the HS-2000 DATA knob to prevent breaking and the reduction of operaility due to deterioration. Since this knob uses metal not only in the body of the knob for operation, but also in the stem that attaches the knob, it boasts excellent durability even in intense operations. It also makes helpful feedback "clicks" during operation. |
The pursuit of high quality sound | To TOP |
We adopted JRC's NJM5532 op-amps, which have a great reputation for audio, after listening evaluations. |
The power sections use high-capacity capacitors in order to provide stable power supplies. For specifications that meet the requirements of the broadcast industry, in addition to providing high audio quality, we have also pursued the creation of power sections that are compact and very efficient. As a result, these units offer high audio quality in a compact 2U rack size that is easy to incorporate into existing setups. |
These units include metal-plated XLR connectors made by NEUTRIK that resist oxidization even over long periods of use and maintain high audio quality. |
