1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller, STS420
Shotbox, and Shotlist Software.
The Video Server must support Odetics Broadcast Protocol.
SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored on Grass Valley Group PROFILE,
Leitch VR or other DDR, VDR, Video Servers supporting Odetics Broadcast Protocol.
The SHOTLIST can contain up to 300 CLIP IDs, stored in non-volatile memory in the ST300.
Remotely view the CLIP IDs that exist in the Video Server under control. Desired clips can be
MARKED into the SHOTLIST at a single location or at multiple locations.
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.
The PERIPHERAL BUS INTERFACE Option for the ST300 VTR Controller is special software
in the ST300. With this Option, the ST300 has 4 Peripheral Device Addresses, one for each VTR
that it controls. This allows the production switcher to control any and all VTRs connected to the
ST300.
Upon receipt of the Learn command from the production switcher, the ST300 saves the CLIP IDs
of the currently loaded clips, the current 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 Clip to the “Learned” time, then restores the “Learned” GANG mode.
Learn & Recall may also be done directly from the ST300 without the production switcher.
The Trigger function on the production switcher puts the selected VTRs into Play, Stop, Recue or
other available modes.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document VTR, DDR, VDR & Video Server will be referred to collectively
as “Video Server.”
The ST300-S/SM as the ST300.
The ST420 SHOTBOX is referred to as “SHOTBOX.”
“SHOTKEY” refers to the 1-30 switches on 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.

(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

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
