4-2-7 Selecting DMC Playback (DMC)

In DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback mode, the VTR plays back a tape segment at a specified variable speed of –1 to +2 times normal playback speed, memorizes the speed, then plays the segment back at a later time at the memorized speed.

DMC playback is useful during on-the-spot telecasts of sporting events for immediate playback and broadcast of highlight scenes for which starting and ending points have been set during recording.

For detail on the procedure for DMC playback, see “5-4- 4 DMC Playback” on page 111.

During tape editing using two SRW-5000/5500 VTRs, you can use DMC playback to control the playback speed of the player VTR for editing at variable speeds (DMC editing).
