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.
