2. DESCRIPTION
The 3040-P-O-MS Playlist Playout System consists of the ST400 with a large LCD display and
Playlist software. The Playlist is stored in non-volatile memory in the ST400.
The 3040-P-O-MS is ideal as an On-Air Automation System backup, as it doesn’t need a separate
video output; simply connect the 3040-P-O-MS to the video server. The 3040-P-O-MS supports
2000 elements, which means there can be up to 50 playlists of 40 clips each.
Scroll the list of available clips in the video server. Build a stack of clips for individual playout or
list playout. While a playlist is playing, insert new clips into the list or delete unwanted clips. Set
the start time for each clip to play from.
DEFINITIONS
Words surrounded by brackets in bold type, [ENTER], are keys on the ST400.
Words surrounded by brackets in bold italic type, [LOAD], are softkeys on the ST400.
[XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down simultaneously.

4. VIDEO SERVER SETUP
Select “Odetics” Protocol on the video server.
Check the other options in the SETUP MENU prior to using the ST400 to confirm proper Video
Standard mode and other User settable modes.
The 3040-P-O-MS System uses TM (field counter) time – not time code or VITC.
NOTE: A clip with 5 seconds of black on it called “_BREAK” must be created on the video server
if breaks are to be inserted in the playlist.
