Play<br />
Set Speed<br />
Multi-speed Play<br />
If the Play command is used on its own, the response code is sent immediately.<br />
If using the optional target parameter of the Play command, the response is<br />
sent when the target is reached. If preceded by the Stop Marker command, the<br />
response to the Play command is sent immediately, and no additional response<br />
is sent upon reaching the target frame set by the Stop Marker command.<br />
Sets the speed for subsequent multi-speed play commands (MF and MR, see<br />
below). The speed is calculated as “speed = nnn/50”, where nnn is the parameter<br />
to the Set Speed command.<br />
Eg, to play forward at twice normal speed, give this command:<br />
100SPMF<br />
Using the Multi-speed Play Forward and Multi-speed Play Reverse commands,<br />
you can play at other speeds than normal, using the speed set by the Set Speed<br />
command, as described above.<br />
▼ IMPORTANT: Although this command allows you to play at other speeds<br />
than normal, <strong>WATCHOUT</strong> playback will only be smooth when using the<br />
normal playback speed. Other speeds are simulated by causing the timeline<br />
to jump repeatedly.<br />
