2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 4000CL-O system includes DNF’s most popular controller, the ST300, with Cliplist software.
The ST300 controls up to 4 video channels individually or ganged. It features full transport
functionality.
The 4000CL-O provides fast access to fill clip and key clip combinations with the press of one
key.
The 4000CL-O supports Odetics Broadcast protocol and requires that the Video Server be
controllable under Odetics Broadcast Protocol.
The 4000CL-O provides fast access to existing video clips stored in the Grass Valley Group
PROFILE, the Leitch VR, and other Video Servers supporting Odetics Broadcast Protocol.
DEFINITIONS:
Throughout this document, VTR, DDR, VDR & Video Server will be referred to collectively
as “Video Server.”
The ST300-S/SM is referred to as “ST300.”
Words surrounded by brackets, for example [ENTER], are keys on the ST300.
[XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down simultaneously. XXX = Key name.
