. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2
NOW, production switchers can load & play video clips on Sony MAV DDRs.
Use the EMEM or SNAPSHOT Learn & Recall functions of the production switcher to load
and play a video clip from a Recall or timeline.
Use the Run and Trigger functions of the production switcher to Play, Stop or Recue the video
clip.
Instantly load a video clip at the press of a button.
Instantly load a FILL clip & KEY clip at the press of ONE button, then play out both channels
in sync. LOOP up to 4 channels.
Control up to 4 video channels individually or ganged.
FEATURES
The 4000CL-MAV-PBIO, 400 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM with
Cliplist software.
With this Option, the ST300 has 4 Peripheral Device Addresses, one for each VTR that it controls.
This allows the production switcher to control any and all VTRs connected to the ST300.
Upon receipt of the Learn command from the production switcher, the ST300 saves the CLIP IDs
of the currently loaded clips, the current time of each clip, the VTRs they are loaded on, and the
current GANG mode, into the appropriate Cue Point.
When the Recall command is received, the ST300 loads the “Learned” Clips onto the “Learned”
VTRs, cues the Clip to the “Learned” time, then restores the “Learned” GANG mode.
The Trigger function on the production switcher puts the selected VTRs into Play, Stop, Recue or
other available modes.
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this document, “Video Server” refers to the MAV-555.
The ST300-S/SM as the ST300.
Words surrounded by brackets, for example, [ENTER], are keys on the ST300.
[XXX] + [XXX] means hold the two keys down simultaneously.
“Softkeys” are the row of keys directly below the display that perform multiple functions in
MENU and other modes.

3. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
a. ST300-S/SM, VTR/DDR CONTROLLER
1) Plug one end of a 9-conductor, RS422 serial cable into the 9-pin connector
(VTR 1, 2, 3 or 4) on the rear of the ST300. Plug the other end of the cable into
the 9-pin REMOTE connector on the Video Server.
2) Connect the +5, +12, -12 VDC POWER SUPPLY into the POWER connector
on the rear of the ST300. Plug the Power Supply into an outlet, 90 VAC to 240
VAC.
3) Check SETUP MENU prior to using the ST300 to confirm proper Record mode
and other User settable modes.
b. PRODUCTION SWITCHER
1) Connect a standard cable (RS422, 9-pin serial cable) to the “AUX” connector on
the rear of the ST300. Connect the other end of the cable to the Peripheral Bus
Connector on the production switcher. (Communication Format- 38.4K, N, 8,1)
2) The ST300 has 4 Peripheral Device Addresses, one for each VTR that it
controls. To set the Device Address for each VTR:
a) Press [MENU] and turn the Wheel until “Peripheral Address” is
displayed.
b) Press VTR[1], VTR[2], VTR[3] or VTR[4] to select a VTR.
c) Assign a Peripheral Device Address for that VTR, from 0 to 23,
by entering the desired address using the numeric keypad.
NOTE: Address 24 or greater will turn PBIO off.
d) Select the next VTR, and then assign a Peripheral Device Address for
it. Each VTR must have its own unique address.
3) To select a Production Switcher type (Default = Grass Valley Group).
a) Press [MENU] and turn the Wheel until “SWITCHER” is displayed.
b) Press the Softkeys to toggle between Sony and Grass Valley.
4) For version 3.0 hardware, there is an option to set Parity to match the parity of
the production switcher. In hardware versions 2.0 and 2.1, this option is not
offered, as the hardware automatically adjusts for the parity.
5) When done, press [ESC] to exit the MENU.
6) Configure the production switcher:
Enable the Peripheral Bus.
Enable the Peripheral Device Addresses assigned to the ST300.
Enable the appropriate Learn/Recall levels.
Enable the Timeline or Recall Trigger function.
