NAME
       dvcont - send control commands to DV cameras

SYNOPSIS
       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 con‐
       trol your DV camera via a Firewire cable.  The following	 commands  are
       understood:

       dev <number>
	      Select device number on chain to use. (dvcont tries to automati‐
	      cally detect the camera. Use the dev command  BEFORE  any	 other
	      commands for manual control.)

       play   Tell  the	 camera	 to play. If already playing, it toggles slow-
	      motion.

	      gles 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.)
