a. Plug one end of a 9-conductor, RS422 serial cable into the 9-pin connector on the rear of the ST100. Plug the other end of the cable into the 9-pin REMOTE connector on the VTR. Plug the 9-pin D-female connector on the POWER SUPPLY into the male 9-pin connector on the rear of the ST100. Plug the AC connector into a wall outlet, 90 VAC - 265 VAC, 50-60 Hz. c. d. Select REMOTE operation on the VTR's front panel. Set the RECORD SELECTOR SWITCHES, located on the rear panel of the ST100, to the desired record mode per the "RECORD SELECTOR CHART."

Select the desired transport function by pressing the appropriate switch on the front of the ST100. The Real-Time Status Indicators will light to indicate the VTRs current tape transport mode. For example: Pressing PLAY will put the VTR into the PLAY mode. The PLAY Status Indicator will light when the VTR is in PLAY mode. Loss of serial communication with the VTR is indicated by ALL status LEDs turned ON. Selecting LOCAL control on the VTR's front panel will turn OFF all status LEDs. a. SHUTTLE BOX OPERATION
The Shuttle Box automatically determines whether the ST100 or second controller gets control of the VTR using the following rules: 1) Normally, the LOOP-THRU is turned on, allowing the second controller to control the VTR. When any function switch is pressed on the ST100 or the Wheel is moved, the LOOP-THRU is turned off, disabling the second controller. The ST100 now has control of the VTR. After the selected function is executed, and after a 2.5 second delay, the LOOP-THRU is again turned on, allowing the second controller to control the VTR. When the LOOP-THRU is turned on, the ST100 monitors communications between the VTR and second controller. The VTR's status response is read by the ST100 and the status indicators are updated to reflect the current state of the VTR. 2) 3) b. LOOP-THRU CONNECTOR
