The 2034CL-N, 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM and the ST420
SHOTBOX. The ST300 and SHOTBOX share a common, non-volatile Cue Point memory in the
ST300.
The Video Server is the Grass Valley Group PROFILE running Native Protocol.
The 10 banks of 30 switches each, on the SHOTBOX, provide instant access to 300 Clips.
Press [LEARN] on the SHOTBOX to learn the CLIP ID and current time of each clip on up to 3
video channels and the current GANG mode into the selected Shotkey on the SHOTBOX (cue
Point on the ST300).
Press any Shotkey on the SHOTBOX to instantly recall the learned CLIP ID and cue to the
learned Time on up to 3 video channels and setup the “learned” GANG mode.
With the Peripheral Bus Interface Option, the ST300 has 3 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.
