(PRE READ) buttons.
Pressing the buttons cycles the settings through on/off.

For still-picture output, press the ALT/[F3] (FREEZE)
buttons. The picture that was playing just before the button

CONTROL FROM KEY PANEL” to “latch”.
The still-picture output is maintained until the button is
pressed again.

Set the VTR SETUP menu item 903 “FREEZE
CONTROL FROM KEY PANEL” to “momentary”. A
still-picture is output as long as you hold down the button.

changed to stop mode, set the VTR SETUP menu item 905
“STOP FREEZE CONTROL” to “enable”.
Regardless of the setting of the VTR SETUP menu item
902 “FREEZE MODE”, stop-freeze is a frame-freeze
picture during playback of a PsF recorded tape, and a field-
freeze picture in other modes.

4-2-7 Selecting DMC Playback
(DMC)
In DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback mode, the
VTR plays back a tape segment at a specified variable
speed of –1 to +2 times normal playback speed,
memorizes the speed, then plays the segment back at a
later time at the memorized speed.
DMC playback is useful during on-the-spot telecasts of
sporting events for immediate playback and broadcast of
highlight scenes for which starting and ending points have
been set during recording.
For detail on the procedure for DMC playback, see “5-4-
4 DMC Playback” on page 111.
During tape editing using two SRW-5000/5500 VTRs, you
can use DMC playback to control the playback speed of
the player VTR for editing at variable speeds (DMC
editing).
