One of the requirements I just learned about (I don't know from sports broadcasting / instant replay) is that we be able to play video in reverse, just like we were rewinding a tape.

There isn't an exact method to play in reverse that I know of, but if
you pause playback and then old down the REW (I think?) then you will
get a frame by frame rewind, but it's not super fast. It may meet your
needs as is though.
