Still
Description: This command causes the Digital Video Machine 4 to still frame. Play will
resume from where it left off whenever another Play command is issued unless a
Select File command is issued, in which case the new file will play from the
beginning. Because the video image is held in a digital buffer, the still frame
will be rock solid, and may be held indefinitely without media wear.
