Playback
The PIX recorder can play back any QuickTime file that it records. Playback is shown on the onboard
LCD display and appears at both HDMI and SDI outputs. The PIX recorder will use a connected
video source’s clock for its playback clock. If no video source is present, PIX will use its built-in
clock. When the Play () button is pressed from the Main View, the last recorded or played file will
play. In the File View, pressing the Play () button will play the currently selected file. Push the Stop
() button anytime to stop playback.
When a file is playing, the Play () button and the OSD Items ABS Time, Timecode, and Filename
will be green to indicate this. Press the Play () button again during playback to pause playback
(The Play button will flash green). Turn the Control Knob while playback is paused to move forward
or backward in single frame increments.
Fast Forward and Rewind
Hold down the Fast Forward (>>) or Rewind (<<) button during playback for 2x (double) speed
playback. When the Fast Forward (>>) or Rewind (<<) button is held down for more than 5 seconds,
playback will become 16x speed. Normal playback will resume when Fast Forward (>>) or Rewind
(<<) is released.
File and Cue Skip
A single push of the Fast Forward (>>) button during playback will move to the next cue point. A
single push of the Rewind (<<) button during playback will move to the previous cue point. If the
Rewind (<<) button is pushed again immediately after it was pushed, playback will jump to the cue
before the previous cue.
For the purpose of skipping, the beginning and end of a file are considered cue points. If no cues are
present, the Fast Forward (>>) and Rewind (<<) buttons simply jump to the beginning or end of a
file.
Shuttle Playback
Push the Control Knob while in normal playback (playing or paused) to switch to shuttle playback
in FFx1/2 mode. The OSD Items ABS Time, Timecode, and Filename will be blue to indicate Shuttle
playback. Turn the Control Knob to select among the available playback directions and rates. The
following table defines the playback directions and speeds available when turning the Control Knob
in Shuttle playback.

Display  ABS Time is set to On. The Fast Forward (>>) and Rewind (<<) buttons will illuminate
independently to indicate the playback direction. Push the Control Knob while in Shuttle playback
to pause playback. Push the Play () button while in Shuttle playback to return to normal playback.
