5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback

When playing back the same program on two VTRs, you can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so that they are synchronized.

There are two ways to make this adjustment:

(A)Using the search dial

(B)Using the +/– buttons

Note

When using method (A), change the system setup so that jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when the search dial is rotated. Doing so prevents the VTR from accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during capstan override playback. Make this setting through

101.SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE in the VTR SETUP menu.

PLAY button to adjust the playback speed. The adjustment range is ±15% (in steps of 1%) of the normal playback speed.

(B)Press the + or – button while holding down the PLAY button to adjust the playback speed. Every time the + or – button is pressed, the speed changes using the field number set in the VTR SETUP menu under item 004.CAPSTAN LOCK select.

During playback at increased or decreased speed, the SERVO indicator goes off since the servo is not locked (capstan override).

2 Release the PLAY button after you have finished adjusting the phase.

The VTR returns to normal-speed playback and the SERVO indicator lights up.

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 between –1 and +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.
