Playback Speed

The Playback Speed parameter controls the speed of the selected media file’s Playback Mode. The Playback Speed for a media file is used whenever the Playback Mode Parameter’s DMX value is assigned to any Play Forward option.

Default DMX Value: 128 = Playback at normal speed.

A DMX value of 0 or 128 (50%) plays back media files at the original recorded speed. DMX values from 1 to 127 plays the media file back at an increasing speed, from slowest to the original recorded speed. Values from 129-255 set playback speed from faster than normal to fastest speed.
