dvcont <command1> [ <command2> ... ] DESCRIPTION
dvcont is a command line tool to send control commands via an IEEE1394 link to a device that implements the AV/C specifications by the 1394 Trade Association. Or for the non-techies: dvcont lets you remote control your DV camera via a Firewire cable. The following commands are understood: dev <number> Select device number on chain to use. (dvcont tries to automatically detect the camera. Use the dev command BEFORE any other com- mands for manual control.) play Tell the camera to play. If already playing, it toggles slow-motion. reverse Tell the camera to play in reverse. If already playing, it toggles slow-motion. trickplay < -14 to +14 > Tell the camera to play at various speeds. 0 = forward play, -14 = fastest reverse, -8 = 1X reverse, -1 = slowest reverse, 1 = slowest forward, 8 = 1X forward, 14 = fastest forward. (Not supported by all cameras.) stop Tell the camera to stop playing. rewind Tell the camera to rewind. (Use in stop or play mode.) ff Tell the camera to fast forward. (Use in stop or play mode.) pause Tell the camera to toggle pause play. next Tell the camera to go to the next frame. (Use in pause mode.) nextindex Tell the camera to search for the next scene. (Use in pause or play mode.) prev Tell the camera to go to the previous frame. (Use in pause mode) previndex Tell the camera to search for the previous scene. (Use in pause or play mode) record Tell the camera to record. (Use with caution!) eject Tell the camera to eject the tape. (Not supported by all cameras.) timecode Report the timecode on tape in the format HH:MM:SS:FF (hours, minutes, seconds, intra-second frames). seek <timecode> Tell the camera to go to the timecode, given in format HH:MM:SS:FF as above. status Report the status of the device. pluginfo Report available plugs. (This option is mainly intended for internal development.) verbose Tell the program to tell you debug info. version Tell the program to tell you the program version. help Tell the program to show you a help screen.
