In DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback mode, the

the speed, then plays the segment back at a later time at the
memorized speed.
DMC playback is useful during on-the-spot telecasts of
sporting events for immediate playback and broadcast of
highlight scenes for which starting and ending points have
been set during recording.
For detail on the procedure for DMC playback, see "5-4-
4 DMC Playback" on page 127.
During tape editing using two SRW-5800 VTRs, you can
use DMC playback to control the playback speed of the
player VTR for editing at variable speeds (DMC editing).
For detail on the procedure for DMC editing, see "6-2-1
DMC Editing" on page 142.

DMC playback can be performed only for HDCAM or
