Chapter 4 Recording and Playback
Carrying out playback in feed mode
When the recorder is TAPE (using a Betacam SX tape)
or MASTER, and the player is EXT, you can use feed
mode to play back at any speed from 0.1 to 4 times
normal. You can select the playback speed in steps of
0.1 times normal speed. The playback output is output
from the SDDI DIGITAL OUTPUT connectors. This
therefore allows high-speed dubbing to another device
equipped with an SDDI input connector.
Use the following procedure to carry out feed mode
playback.
1
Hold down the FEED button, and turn the search
dial to set the playback speed.
While you hold down the FEED button, the
1
playback speed setting for feed mode (initially the
maximum setting) appears in the event display area
as a percentage of normal speed. (For example,
four times normal speed is shown as "400".)
2
Hold down the FEED button, and press the PLAY
button.
Both buttons light, and playback in feed mode
starts.
3
Where you wish to stop playback, press the STOP
button.
Playback stops.
