Getting Started . . .

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller, STS420

Shotbox, and Shotlist Software.

Upon receipt of the Learn command, 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.

SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored on QUANTEL Video Servers. The

SHOTLIST contains up to 400 CLIP IDs, stored in non-volatile memory in the ST300.

Any clip in the SHOTLIST can be quickly loaded by simply entering the associated 3-digit

number of its location, then pressing [LOAD]. Press [PLAY] to play the clip. Press [RECUE]

to cue to the beginning of the clip.

DEFINITIONS
