4-1 Playback Procedures

To perform frame step playback

Put the unit into noiseless mode and press the PF-1 or PF-2 button.

When you are using the Betacam SX format, each press of the PF-1 button steps 2 frames back, and each press of the PF-2 button steps 2 frames forward. When you are using the MPEG IMX format, the buttons step 1 frame in the same directions.

Notes

•To perform frame step playback, always press the PLAY button once before pressing the PF-1 or PF-2 button. When you switch between FWD and REV, the picture may not be updated until you press the PF-1 or PF-2 button twice.

•During frame step playback, the picture and the LTC may be up to 5 frames out of sync. We recommend that you use VITC.

•Block noise may remain visible during frame step playback. If this occurs, step in the reverse direction, or press the PLAY button again.
