Demo of the HGR2488 Monitor interface for the TASCAM 2488

The TASCAM 2488 is a fantastic multitracker, but trying to view its small display when you are not directly in front of it or when you have an instrument hung round your neck can be a real problem.

The HGR-2488 Monitor Interface Card provides the solution. This circuit board fits inside the TASCAM-2488 and reproduces the TASCAM's LCD display on a standard PC monitor.

The large screen format provided by the HGR-2488 allows the musician the freedom to create music away from the 2488, meaning you (and the rest of the band) can easily see what's happening. For TASCAM 2488 MK1 users the low brightness of the LCD display is no longer a major drawback. No more eye strain!

The HGR-2488 has been designed to be as simple as possible for the user to install inside the TASCAM 2488 without the need for soldering, special tools or modifications to the TASCAM 2488 casing. It is essentially 'plug and play'

The HGR-2488 provides the following features:

Display of the TASCAM 2488 LCD on a VGA compatible PC monitor or LCD panel
Everything displayed on the TASCAM 2488 LCD is replicated on the PC monitor
Display is white text on a blue background with a black border
VGA mode is 800 x 600 @ 60HZ
TASCAM 2488 LCD remains fully functional whether or not the PC monitor is connected
No PC required -- just the TASCAM 2488 and a monitor
Simple to install

I have had two Tascam 2488s break, the screen will work for about 20 min and then just go to a blank screen, I have tried the contrasts... Any idea whats wrong?!? After I shut it off and turn it back on the screen remains blank, (still can have audio) If the tascam stays off for a while it will work again for about 20 minutes... please help!

I’ve been using the 2488 for over 12 years. My brother & I have gone thru 3 of them. I’ve used other methods of recording such as Protools, Cubase & Ableton Live - but I just keep coming back to the 2488. I even gave up my Steinberg MR816 & Cubase 5 - and started using the 2488 again souly. It’s so reliable & easy to use. I wish Tascam would expand on designing computer software to integrate with this wonderful piece of hardware.
