Executing DMC Playback
There are two methods of starting DMC playback.
• Starting playback at the on-air cue from the on-air
start point
• Starting playback immediately after preroll
Notes
• To avoid operating mistakes we recommend that you
use the VTR in standalone mode when carrying out
DMC playback.
• When using two VTRs connected for editing, you can
only use the recorder VTR for DMC playback, and
only when neither the RECORDER nor PLAYER
button is lit.
To start playback at the on-air cue from the
on-air start point
Use the following procedure.
1
Press the REVIEW button.
The REVIEW button lights, and the tape is cued up
to the on-air start point. After the tape is cued up,
the REVIEW button flashes.
2
At the moment the on-air cue is given, press the
REVIEW button once more.
The REVIEW button lights, and playback starts at
standard speed.
Between the speed variation start and end points,
DMC playback is carried out at the stored speed,
and then playback continues at normal speed and
the tape stops at the on-air end point.
