Play
Description: This command causes the Digital Video Machine 2 to play the file specified by
the most recent “Select File” command. The unit defaults to clip 1 at powerup if
no autoexec file exists. If a clip is stilled, this command resumes play. If this
command is issued while a Playlist is being played, the Digital Video Machine 2
will skip to the next clip in the Playlist and play it.

Comments: If the video material ends with a non-black screen, that picture will be displayed
until another video file is played.
Still
Description: This command causes the Digital Video Machine 2 to still frame. Play will
resume from where it left off whenever another Play command is issued unless a
Select File command is issued, in which case the new file will play from the
beginning.

Comments: This is similar to the “ Jog Forward” at 0 speed command in the Sony 9-Pin
protocol.
If a Select File command is issued while in Still mode, playback will start from
the beginning of the selected file whenever another Play command is issued.
Stop
Description: This command causes the Digital Video Machine 2 to stop video playback. The
last frame displayed will remain on screen. To begin playback again, you must
first issue a Select File command followed by a Play command.
