2. DESCRIPTION
The 3040P-L Playlist Playout System with Download Option consists of the ST400 controller with
expanded memory, an internal timecode reader, and Playlist Playout software. The system also
includes “3040P Download Utility,” a Microsoft Windows PC based application. This PC

PC.
The 3040P-L Playlist Playout System with Download Option will support simultaneous playout of
up to 4 playlists, one per channel. It also provides basic control of up to 2 VTRs.
Each playlist may contain up to 2000 elements. Playlist elements may be COMMENT type,
HARD TRIGGERED type, FOLLOW ALONG type, MANUAL TRIGGERED typ e, or a
combination of types. The playlist may be played out automatically using hard triggers, semiautomatically (a stack of clips played out back to back), or as single events (play out single clip,
