In February 2014, new [[power standards#XLR-4 (4-core)|power standards]] were introduced to combat this issue. The camera power supplies have been modified such that 8.4V and 12V are provided on different pins, hopefully preventing any more accidents. | In February 2014, new [[power standards#XLR-4 (4-core)|power standards]] were introduced to combat this issue.

As of March 2014, the camera could no longer be used for analogue SD shows. As of 2019 the camera is still in very occasional use, only as a last resort when all other cameras are used or in use ( like [[hist: Roses| Roses]] ). It is unlikely that tape muncher JR will survive much longer without some bodging. | ||

During their use at [[OB:Woodstock 2009|Woodstock 2009]], the video out and umbilical were dangling directly from the composite socket for some of the show. The weight of the umbilical and the movement of the camera damaged the composite sockets of two of the cameras. These were re-soldered to the circuit board in the Easter vacation of 2010, but were damaged further in later years. | During their use at [[OB:Woodstock 2009|Woodstock 2009]], the video out and umbilical were dangling directly from the composite socket for some of the show.

This fried the main circuit board, resulting in the camera no longer powering on. It was replaced by a new HVR in October 2011. This incident was later repeated, resulting in another camera being unable to record to tape. This camera became known as 'Tape muncher'. | ||
Due to wear, the mic jack on the third of the original cameras became intermittent, rendering the camera useless for audio recording. | Due to wear, the mic jack on the third of the original cameras became intermittent, rendering the camera useless for audio recording. | ||

On 18/06/14, just three days before [[hist:Woodstock 2014|Woodstock 2014]], the 'Tape muncher' camera failed in similar circumstances. As these were the other two original cameras brought in 2009, it is possible that they failed due to age. If so, 'Tape muncher jr' (the remaining HVR) may possibly last another year or two at most. | On 18/06/14, just three days before [[hist:Woodstock 2014|Woodstock 2014]], the 'Tape muncher' camera failed in similar circumstances.

2019, Tape muncher jr is still functional but has been mothballed other than occasional use. | |||
