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.

== Current Situation==
Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), the working HVR is a 'tape muncher'. As of March 2014, the camera cannot be used for analogue SD shows, as both the composite and S-video outputs have failed.
Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), the working HVR is a 'tape muncher'. 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.

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.

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