5-4-2 Variable Speed Playback

In Jog/Shuttle/Variable modes, you can change the playback speed as follows:

Jog mode: The playback speed corresponds to the rotational speed of the search dial, ranging from –1 to +1 or –2 to +2 times normal playback speed (for Digital Betacam playback, ±3 times normal speed).

(The speed setting can be changed using the VTR SETUP menu item 107 “JOG DIAL RESPONSE”.)

Shuttle mode: The playback speed corresponds to the angle of rotation of the search dial. The playback speed is different depending on the frame frequency of the unit. The search dial clicks at the positions for still-picture and ±10 times normal speed playback.
