5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback

When playing back the same program on two VTRs, you
can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so that
they are synchronized.
There are two ways to make this adjustment:
(A) Using the search dial
(B) Using the +/– buttons
Note
When using method (A), change the system setup so that
jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when the
search dial is rotated. Doing so prevents the VTR from
accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during capstan
override playback.
Set the VTR SETUP menu item 101 "SELECTION FOR
SEARCH DIAL ENABLE" to "via search key".

Use either method (A) or (B).
(A) Rotate the search dial while holding down the

5-4-4 DMC Playback

Overview of DMC playback
DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback allows you to
vary the playback speed in variable mode (in the DT
playback range from –1 to +2 times normal speed) for
certain sections of the tape, then store the specified speed
in memory for later playback.
For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event,
you can set the start and end points of important scenes
while recording, and immediately play back and broadcast
those scenes using DMC playback.
Note
DMC playback is possible only for Digital Betacam or
HDCAM format. For HDCAM-SR format, DMC
playback is not possible.
Storing playback speeds in memory

speeds in memory.
