Overview
DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed
for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode
(from –1 to +2 times normal speed) and store the
varying speed in memory for later playback at the
same varying speed. For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting
event you can set the start and end points of highlights
while recording, and then provide immediate DMC
playback of those highlights.
During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the
following figure.
