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.
Storing playback speeds in memory

speed.
The selected speeds are shown in the time data
display window in the menu display.

variation start point, the MEMORY indicator in the

The speed variation is stored in memory while the
MEMORY indicator is flashing.

Press the STOP button to stop the tape.
If the MEMORY indicator flashes before the
tape reaches the speed variation end point
Memory has been exceeded and the VTR cannot store
any more data for playback speed variations.
Notes on the x indicator and the MEMORY
indicator
The x indicator shows that the tape speed
memorization in DMC mode is taking place.
The MEMORY indicator flashes during playback
speed memorization, then stays lit continuously when
memorization of the playback speed has been
completed.
