Carrying out playback in feed mode
When using a Betacam SX tape, you can use feed
mode to play back at any speed from 0.1 to 2 times
normal. You can select the playback speed in steps of
0.1 times normal speed. The playback output is output
from the (optional) SDTI OUTPUT connectors. This
therefore allows high-speed dubbing to another device
equipped with an SDTI input connector.
Use the following procedure to carry out feed mode
playback.
