High-speed search function
If you use the optional remote control unit, the unit has
a picture search function that allows you to view color
picture at playback speeds up to 14 times normal speed
(DSR-40) or 17 times normal speed (DSR-40P) in
forward and reverse directions.
When remote-controlling this unit in shuttle mode
from an editing controller or a remote controller, you
can search at any speed in the range 0 (still) to 14
times normal (DSR-40) or 17 times normal (DSR-40P)
in both directions. You can also search frame-by-
frame in jog mode.
You can also hear playback audio.
Jog audio function
If you use the optional remote control unit, audio can
be monitored at various playback speeds when in jog
mode. The audio signals are once stored in memory
and then played back at the same rate as the search
speed. This allows you to use audio playback to find
the desired edit points.
