After the recording, the computer can attach a single image to a complete tape, then add a special effect called "bullet time" . This term implies an effect that slows down the frame rate , leaving time as slow as we can see the shot. Not only that, the direction changes as the bullet moves, simulating the rotation around the bullet.

NHK's system consists of 8 camcorders mounted on the stand. Each camcorder has two motors for tilt control and zoom / zoom. The engines are controlled by an automated computer system, which allows all eight cameras to focus on one frame at a time.

In particular, the cameras are placed next to each other so each camera records the frame from slightly different angles, making the movie lively, attractive.
