2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller and Shotlist
Software. The Video Server must support SONY DP Protocol.
The ST300 controls up to 3 video channels individually or ganged.
SHOTLIST provides instant access to existing video clips stored on SONY-MAV.
The SHOTLIST contains up to 300 CLIP IDs, stored in non-volatile memory in the ST300.
Any clip in the SHOTLIST can be quickly loaded by simply entering the associated 3-digit
number of its location, then pressing [LOAD]. Press [PLAY] to play the clip. Press [RECUE] to
recue to the beginning of the clip or to the “recalled” time if defined.
Upon receipt of the Learn command, the ST300 saves the CLIP IDs of the currently loaded clips,
the current IN time of each clip, the VTRs they are loaded on and the current GANG mode into
the appropriate Cue Point.
When the Recall command is received, the ST300 loads the learned Clips onto the learned VTRs,
cues the Clips to the learned time and restores the learned GANG mode.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document, the MAV-555 will be referred to as “Video Server.”
The ST300-S/SM as the ST300.
The ST420 is referred to as the SHOTBOX.
Words surrounded by brackets, for example, [ENTER], are keys on the ST300 or the
SHOTBOX. [XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down simultaneously.
“Softkeys” are the row of keys directly below the display that perform multiple functions in
MENU and other modes.

3. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
a. SHOTBOX
1) Plug one end of a standard 9-pin, RS422 serial cable, into the OUTPUT
connector on the rear of the SHOTBOX. Plug the other end of the cable into the
AUX connector on the rear of the ST300.
2) Connect the 5 VDC, 1Amp POWER SUPPLY into the POWER connector on
the rear of the SHOTBOX. Plug the Power Supply into an outlet, 90 VAC – 240
VAC.
b. ST300-S/SM, VTR/DDR CONTROLLER
1) Plug one end of a 9-conductor, RS422 serial cable into the VTR1 (2 or 3)
connector on the rear of the ST300. Plug the other end of the cable into the
REMOTE connector on the Video Server.
2) Connect the +5, +12, -12 VDC POWER SUPPLY into the POWER connector
on the rear of the ST300. Plug the Power Supply into an outlet, 90 VAC – 240
VAC.
3) Check SETUP MENU prior to using the ST300 to confirm proper Record mode
and other User preference modes.
c. PRODUCTION SWITCHER
1) Connect a standard cable (RS422, 9-pin serial cable) to the supplied turnaround
adapter. Plug the turnaround adapter into the “VTR4” connector on the rear of
the ST300. Connect the other end of the cable to the Peripheral Bus Connector
on the production switcher. (Communication Format- 38.4K, N, 8,1)
2) The ST300 has 3 Peripheral Device Addresses, one for each VTR that it
controls. To set the Device Address for each VTR:
Press [MENU] and turn the Wheel until “Peripheral Address” is displayed.
3) Press VTR[1], VTR[2] or VTR[3] to select a VTR.
4) Assign a Peripheral Device Address for that VTR, from 0 to 23, by using the
numeric keypad. Address 24 or greater will turn PBIO off
5) Select the next VTR, and then assign a Peripheral Device Address for it.
6) To select a Production Switcher type (Default = Grass Valley Group).
a) Press [MENU] and turn the Wheel until “SWITCHER’ is displayed.
b) Press the Softkeys to toggle between Sony and Grass Valley.
c) For version 3.0 hardware, you will have the option to set Parity to
match the parity of the production switcher. In hardware versions 2.0
and 2.1 you are not offered this option because the hardware
automatically adjusts for the parity the switcher is set to.
.

24. DNF CONTROLS LIMITED WARRANTY
DNF Controls warrants its product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one
(1) year from the date of sale to the original purchaser from DNF Controls.
In order to enforce the rights under this warranty, the customer must first contact DNF’s Customer Support
Department to afford the opportunity of identifying and fixing the problem without sending the unit in for
repair. If DNF’s Customer Support Department cannot fix the problem, the customer will be issued a
Returned Merchandise Authorization number (RMA). The customer will then ship the defective product
prepaid to DNF Controls with the RMA number clearly indicated on the customer’s shipping document.
The merchandise is to be shipped to:
DNF Controls
12843 Foothill Blvd., Suite C
Sylmar, CA 91342
USA
Failure to obtain a proper RMA number prior to returning the product may result in the return not being
accepted, or in a charge for the required repair.
DNF Controls, at its option, will repair or replace the defective unit. DNF Controls will return the unit
prepaid to the customer. The method of shipment is at the discretion of DNF Controls, principally UPS
Ground for shipments within the United States of America. Shipments to international customers will be
sent via air. Should a customer require the product to be returned in a more expeditious manner, the return
shipment will be billed to their freight account.
This warranty will be considered null and void if accident, misuse, abuse, improper line voltage, fire, water,
lightning or other acts of God damaged the product. All repair parts are to be supplied by DNF Controls,
either directly or through its authorized dealer network. Similarly, any repair work not performed by either
DNF Controls or its authorized dealer may void the warranty.
After the warranty period has expired, DN F C ont r ol s offers repair services at prices listed in the DNF
Controls Price List. DNF Controls reserves the right to refuse repair of any unit outside the warranty
period that is deemed non-repairable.
DNF Controls shall not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or other types of damage
resulting from the use of the product.
