OVERVIEW
The SUPERSLIDE Instant Replay Control System is designed specifically to control Leitch/ASC VR300
Video/Audio Server Systems that use shared media such as a Fibre Channel disk array. Up to ten channels can
be controlled, usually configured as five full-time record channels and five matching playback channels. The
“Platform 1” VR300 has one channel capable of high quality slow motion output complete with vertical “bobble”
cancellation, and one channel suitable for record purposes. The SUPERSLIDE provides a simple means for
putting record channels into a loop record mode, usually using time of day timecode. Playback is controlled on
matching playback channels in a way that allows frame accurate simultaneous playback of multiple channels and
GPI control that inherently lets the Technical Director choose which channel(s) to roll, and when to roll them.
PHYSICAL
The SUPERSLIDE control panel requires only ten inches width by eight inches depth of console space, and has a
sloped control surface for easy user access. Two backlit alphanumeric displays separate clip and menu operations
from status and timecode display. Playback control is always instant regardless of where the operator may be in
the menu system. The playback control keys are placed within easy reach of the high quality optical encoded
knob. The Slide, implemented using a motorized linear fader, is used for speed control. A numeric keypad allows
quick entry of timecode and random access clip selection. A MAKE CHILD key creates one or more child clips
(subclips) from record or playback clips.
The RM-4000-L Remote Processor rear panel includes ten separate DB9F connectors for connection to ten
channels of VR300, a power supply connection, a DB15F GPI connector, and two RJ45 8-pin modular telephone
connectors for connection to the control panel.
INSTALLATION
Install the RM-4000-L into an equipment rack and connect the included power supply. Connect the control panel
and Slide to the RM-4000-L via the included 15 foot RJ45 cables. Longer cables may be used, but the maximum
length is restricted to about 50 feet (15 meters) by voltage drop from the power supply (9.5VDC minimum at the
