GETTING STARTED . . .
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 2044CL system includes DNF’s most robust controller, the ST400, with
the industry’s premiere Shotbox, the ST400.
The ST400 controls up to 8 video channels individually or ganged. It features
full transport functionality (Channels greater than six are optional).
The LCD buttons on the Shotbox display clip names and deliver instant access
to video clips on up to 8 channels (Channels greater than six are optional).
The assign-able keys on the ST420 Shotbox allow clip names to be organized
on ten different banks of keys for easy access.
The 2044CL provides instant access to fill clip and key clip combinations with
the press of one key.
The 2044CL-O supports ODETICS Broadcast protocol and requires that the
Video Server be controllable under ODETICS Broadcast Protocol.
The 2044CL-AMP supports AMP Broadcast protocol and requires that the Video
Server be controllable under AMP Broadcast Protocol.
The 2044CL-NX supports Leitch NEXIO Broadcast protocol and requires that
the Video Server be controllable under Leitch NEXIO Broadcast Protocol.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document, DDR, VDR & Video Server will be referred to
collectively as “Video Server”.
The ST400-S/SM will be referred to as ST400.
The ST420 SHOTBOX will be 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
ST400 or the SHOTBOX. [XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down
simultaneously.
The 6 keys directly below the display are referred to as “Softkey”. Their
function changes as indicated on the last line of the display; i.e. {GANG}.
Shotkeys and Cue Points refer to the same memory locations. Both terms
are interchangeable.
