2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 4040CL system includes DNF’s most robust controller, the ST400, with the Cliplist software.
The ST400 controls up to 6 video channels individually or ganged. It features full transport
functionality.
The 4040CL provides fast access to fill clip and key clip combinations with the press of one key.
The 4040CL provides fast access to existing video clips stored in the EVS DDRS.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document, DDR, VDR & Video Server will be referred to collectively as
“Video Server.”
Words surrounded by brackets, for example, [ENTER], are keys on the ST400. [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.

3. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
a. ST400-S/SM, VTR/DDR CONTROLLER
1) Plug one end of a 9-conductor, RS422 serial cable into the VTR1 (2, 3, 4, 5 or 6)
connector on the rear of the ST400. Plug the other end of the cable into the 9-pin
REMOTE connector on the Video Server.
2) Connect the supplied POWER SUPPLY, APX#4108, into the POWER connector
on the rear of the ST400. Plug the Power Supply into an outlet, 90 VAC - 240
VAC.
3) Check SETUP MENU prior to using the ST400 to confirm proper Record mode
and other User settable modes.
