2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
NOW, production switchers can load & play video clips on SONY SX Hybrids.
Use the EMEM or SNAPSHOT Learn & Recall functions of the production
switcher, to load and play a video clip from a Recall or timeline.
Use the Run and Trigger functions of the production switcher to Play, Stop or
Instantly load a FILL clip & KEY clip at the press of ONE button, then play out
Control up to 3 video channels individually or ganged.
The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller,
STS420 Shotbox and Shotlist Software.
SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored in SONY SX Hybrids.
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 3digit 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 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.

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
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, 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.
