Getting Started . . .
2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller, STS420 Shotbox, and Shotlist Software.
Upon receipt of the Learn command, 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.
SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored on QUANTEL Video Servers. The SHOTLIST contains up to 400 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 cue to the beginning of the clip.
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.
