2. 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 SONY DP Protocol.
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.
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.
Learn & Recall may also be done directly from the ST300.
SHOTLIST provides instant access to existing video clips stored on SONY SX hybrid machines.
The SHOTLIST contains up to 300 CLIP IDs, stored in non-volatile memory in the ST300.
The user can remotely view the CLIP IDs that exist in the DDR under control. Desired clips can
be MARKed into the SHOTLIST at a single location or at multiple locations.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document, the hard disk drive in the SX unit will be referred to 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
SHOTBOX.
[XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down simultaneously.
HDD refers to the hard disk drive video recorde r in the SX devi ce.
“Softkeys” are the row of keys directly below the display that perform multiple functions in
Menu and other modes.

Getting Started . . .
3. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
a. SHOTBOX
1) Plug one end of a standard 9-pin, RS422 serial cable, into the OUTPUT
connector, 9-pin female, on the rear of the SHOTBOX. Plug the other
end of the cable into the 9-pin connector, AUX, 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.
DO NOT HOT PLUG!
b. ST300-S/SM, VTR/DDR CONTROLLER
1) Plug one end of a 9-conductor, RS422 serial cable into the 9-pin connector
(VTR 1-4) on the rear of the ST300. Plug the other end of the cable into the 9pin REMOTE connector on the SX Hybrid Machine.
2) Connect the +5, +12, -12 VDC POWER SUPPLY into the POWER connector
on the rear of the ST300. Plug the Power Supply into a wall outlet, 90 VAC 240 VAC.
3) Check SETUP MENU prior to using the ST300 to confirm proper Record mode
and other User settable modes.
Installation is complete.

2034CL-SX, 300 Clip Instant Access System, Sony SX Protocol
4. VIDEO SERVER SETUP
a. When you switch to “Local” mode on the SX, the SX goes to the beginning of the first
clip on the list.
b. Clips loaded from the front panel of the SX will not be Learned or displayed on the
ST300 or ST420.
c. The SONY DNW unit must have the following or higher software versions:
1) SY1-3.22; SY2=3.22:SSX=3 .2 0: SV 1=3.20
2) DNW extended menu item 210:DiskProtcl must be V1.0. (Load errors occur
otherwise.)
d. Assuming DNW PLAYER=TAPE, RECORDER=DISK MASTER:
1) ST300/VTR 1 disk operation.
DNWPB/EE enabled: TC Reader display is from tape when VTR EE mode is
active. During disk PB, TC reader display is from DISK MASTER. Refer to
DNW extended menu item 108 AUTO EE SELECT.
DNW PB enabled: TC reader display is from DISK MASTER only.
2) ST300/VTR2 tape operation: TC reader display is from tape regardless of DNW
PB/EE selection.
e. SETUP MENU/RECORD MODE. Crash and Lockout are the only modes supported.
Hybrid cannot perform INSERT Edit to either TAPE or DISK MASTER.
5. OPERATION MODE SETUP

SWITCHING BETWEEN HD and TAPE
Switching between tape and HD, press [TAPE] to assign control to the Tape or the HD.
If the LED above [TAPE] is on you are controlling the tape drive. The time code on the ST300’s
display is the tape drives’ time code and the video signal comes from Tape, (assuming SX
operation mode is set to Player = Tape, Rec = Disk or Player = Disk, Rec = Tape).
If the LED above [TAPE] is off, you are controlling HD; Time Code and Video you are
monitoring come from the HD. NOTE: The Clip List function is not available on the Tape drive.
When you LEARN on the HD, the CLIP ID, time and data are stored in the Cue Point.
When you do a LEARN and the Tape is active, only current Timecode and Gang data are
stored in the Cue Point.

20. 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 pr oblem 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, DNF Controls 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.
