DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed
for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode
(from –1 to +3 times normal speed for digital Betacam
playback, from –1 to +3 times normal speed for MPEG
IMX playback, from –1 to +2 times normal speed for
Betacam SX playback, or from –1 to +3 times normal
speed for analog Betacam playback), 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
and then provide immediate DMC playback of those
highlights.
During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the
following figure.

playback.
