’ NOW, production switchers can load & play video clips from the Pinnacle Thunder
video server.
’

video clip. Instantly load a video clip at the press of a button.

The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller, ST420
SHOTBOX and Shotlist Software.
The ST300 controls up to 3 video channels individually or ganged.
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.
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.
LEARN & RECALL may also be done directly from the ST300.
SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored on the Pinnacle Thunder.
The SHOTLIST contains up to 300 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 recue to
the beginning of the clip or to the “recalled” time if defined.
