DESCRIPTION


The 300 Clip Instant Access System consists of the ST300-SSM VTR Controller, ST420
SHOTBOX and Shotlist Software.

The ST300 controls up to 4 video channels individually or ganged.

The Video Server must support Louth Automation Protocol.

SHOTLIST provides fast access to existing video clips stored in Grass Valley Group PROFILE,
LEITCH VR or other DDR / VDR / Video Servers supporting Louth Automation Protocol.

The SHOTLIST can contain up to 300 CLIP IDs, stored in non-volatile memory in the ST300.

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.

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.
