Looping Playback
Playback Looping is available in Video Mode only.
Looping playback can be enabled for a segment or the entire clip. To
toggle looping playback and begin looping the entire currently playing
clip, hold Play () for 1 second. Loop: Clip will be displayed in the bot-
tom left-hand corner of the OSD if [On-Screen Display - Cue Marker] is
set to On. Loop: Clip will be followed by / Cue number when playback
is within a segment (where number indicates the last cue marker).
To loop a segment, press Play () + Fast Forward (>>) while playback
is in that segment. The looped segment is displayed on the bottom left-
hand corner of the OSD. To return to looping the entire clip, press Play
() + Rewind (<<).
To exit looping, hold down Play () for 1 second.
Playback Mode
By default, when a file is selected for playback, the PIX 270i will play the file immedi-
ately and stop playback when the end of the file is reached. The Setup Menu options
[System - Playback Start mode] and [System - Playback mode] alter this behavior. When
[System - Playback Start mode] is set to Pause on First Frame, a file will begin playback in a paused
state on the first frame. This is useful for “loading” a clip so that playback can be manually triggered
without any start up delay.
The Setup Menu option [System - Playback mode] affects how playback will continue after the end
of a file is reached (assuming no user transport commands are called):
Playback mode Behavior
Play Once Playback stops when the end of the file is reached.

Play All Playback continues with the next file in the File List. This process is repeated until all files in
the File List have been played at which point playback stops.
Play All - Pause Playback pauses at the first frame of the next file. This process is repeated until all files in
the File List have been played or Stop is pressed.
