Getting Started . . .
2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 2044CL system includes DNF’s most robust controller, the ST400, with the industry’s
premiere Shotbox, the ST420.
The ST400 controls up to 6 video channels individually or ganged. It features full transport
functionality.
The LCD buttons on the Shotbox display clip names and delivery instant access to video clips on
up to 6 channels.
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-EVS supports Odetics Broadcast protocol and requires that the Video Server be
controllable under Odetics 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.
Shotkeys and Cue Points refer to the same memory locations. Both terms are interchangeable.

27. 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 D
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.
