4-2-3 Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback
Overview
DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed
for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode
(from –1 to +3 times normal speed for digital Betacam
playback, from –1 to +3 times normal speed for MPEG
IMX playback, from –1 to +2 times normal speed for
Betacam SX playback, or from –1 to +3 times normal
speed for analog Betacam playback), and store the
varying speed in memory for later playback at the
same varying speed.
For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting
event you can set the start and end points of highlights
while recording, and then provide immediate DMC
playback of those highlights.
During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the
following figure.
1 Press the DMC EDIT button, turning it on.
2 Either while playing back the recorded tape, or
during recording, press the ENTRY button and one
of the following buttons simultaneously, to set the
start and end points.
• On-air start point: AUDIO IN button
• Speed variation start point: IN button
• Speed variation end point: OUT button
• On-air end point: AUDIO OUT button
Each press turns the corresponding button on.
