Introduction
DPS ES-2200 General Description
The DPS ES-2200 is a 2-slot expansion system intended to accommodate any combination of up to two DPS Personal
Series or MicroSYNC plug-in cards. The functions of the DPS Personal Series cards installed in the system can be
operated by the front panel control or by software using the rear panel RS-232 connector.
There are two versions of the ES-2200. The ES-2200T is intended for TBC cards. Its front panel is marked according
to operations specific to TBCs. The ES-2200S is intended for DPS MicroSYNC cards. Its front panel is marked
according to operations specific to MicroSYNC cards. It is possible to install a MicroSYNC and a TBC card into the
ES-2200T. However, the front panel will not be marked for operations specific to the card that was not intended for the
unit.
With the exception of MicroSYNC and TBC cards, any of the cards listed on the following page may be installed into
either the ES-2200S or the ES-2200T. If you are installing the cards yourself follow the procedure that begins on page
8, paying careful attention to DIP Switch positions.
The Operations section of this manual is divided into two sections. Chapter 3 is the ES-2200T operations section. If
you have purchased the ES-2200T, you should only read Chapter 2. Similarly, Chapter 3 is the ES-2200S operations
section. You should read this chapter if you have purchased the ES-2200S.

Compatible DPS Products
DPS PERSONAL TBC CARDS
The DPS Personal TBC is a full frame TBC which enables virtually any VCR, Camcorder, Laser Disk player
or Video Camera to be interfaced with other video sources in a video production environment. A TBC is a necessary
piece of video production hardware because time base errors are inherent in mechanical video storage devices such as
VTRs. Up to two DPS Personal TBC cards can be installed in the DPS ES-2200T Expansion System.
DPS MICROSYNC
The DPS MicroSYNC is a four-field composite transparent video synchronizer that can be used to lock a non-
synchronous direct color composite video signal to a video system. The MicroSYNC utilizes four field composite
processing to achieve transparent performance without the need for low pass or comb filter Y/C separator circuits.
There are two types of DPS MicroSYNC: the DPS 8-bit MicroSYNC and the DPS MicroSYNC-X. Up to two DPS
MicroSYNC cards can be installed in the DPS ES-2200S Expansion System. An 8-bit MicroSYNC can be installed by
itself or with another card in the ES-2200T chassis.
DPS PERSONAL V-SCOPE
The DPS Personal V-Scope is a combination waveform monitor and vectorscope that provides real time monitoring of
video signals. The V-Scope produces a digitally synthesized waveform/vector display, including graticules, which can
be displayed on any video monitor. The V-Scope features a variety of display modes including simultaneous waveform
and vector displays in either overlay or split modes. One DPS Personal V-Scope is recommended for installation in the
DPS ES-2200 Expansion System.
DPS PERSONAL VIDEO ROUTING SWITCHER
The DPS Personal Video Routing Switcher is a composite video switcher containing a 4x1 and an 8x1
switching matrix. The 4x1 matrix is connected to BNC connectors located on the back of the card. The inputs to the
8x1 matrix originate from the card edge. The inputs to the 8x1 input matrix originate from the card edge and cannot be
used in an ES-2200 chassis. Up to two DPS Personal Video Routing Switchers can be installed in the DPS ES-2200
Expansion System.
DPS PERSONAL VDA
The DPS Personal VDA is a video distribution amplifier capable of driving four 75?terminated loads from
one video input. Install up to two DPS Personal VDA cards into the DPS ES-2200 Expansion System.

Unpacking & Inspection
This unit has been thoroughly calibrated and inspected, both electrically and mechanically, to ensure that it meets the
published specifications. The following items are included with each DPS ES-2200 Expansion System:
QTY DESCRIPTION
1 DPS ES-2200 Expansion System
1 DPS ES-2200 Operator’s Manual
1 Standard AC Line Cord
We suggest that you retain all original packing materials. This will facilitate reshipment should it ever become
necessary.
Mounting
The size of the ES-2200 allows it to fit into most standard consoles or 19-inch racks. If the unit is to be mounted in a
rack, then rack slides or trays must be used for support. Care must be taken to select a dry, well-ventilated location
with a minimum of dust and vibration. Also, leave sufficient clearance from the unit’s rear panel to allow for proper air
circulation.
After unpacking the unit and before installing cards in it or installing it in a console or rack, allow at least 30 minutes
for temperatures to equalize and to eliminate any condensation that may have developed.

ES-2200 System Configuration
This section shows how to set cards and install them to be operated from the front panel of the ES-2200 unit.
Remember:
All DIP Switches must be configured with the power off.
Static electricity from your body can damage the cards. To prevent this type of damage, you should handle them
carefully:
•Do not take them out of their conductive bags until you are ready to install them.
•Do not carry them around the room unless they are in their conductive bags.
•Before touching them, discharge any static electricity from your body by first touching the grounded metal chassis.

ES-2200T Configuration Options
It is possible to install a single card – TBC, MicroSYNC, V-Scope or Routing Switcher in the ES-2200T chassis. In
such a case, the card should be installed in the Unit 1 position unless it is a V-Scope. If it is a V-Scope, it should
always go in the Unit 2 position. Two cards can be installed in the ES-2200T chassis. The possible configurations are
as follows:
Unit 1 Unit 2
TBC TBC
TBC V-Scope
TBC Routing Switcher
TBC 8-Bit MicroSYNC
8-Bit MicroSYNC TBC
8-Bit MicroSYNC V-Scope
V-Scope V-Scope
Routing Switcher Routing Switcher
If you put only one card in the ES-2200T chassis, unless it is a V-Scope, place it in Unit 1 position. If you are putting
one of the above cards in the ES-2200T chassis as well as a VDA card, put the VDA card in the Unit 2 position.
The DPS Personal V-Scope should always go in the Unit 2 position. Before installing two V-Scope cards in the
ES-2200T, the second V-Scope requires a custom microprocessor. If you require this custom microprocessor, contact
DPS customer service.
It is possible to install a TBC card and a MicroSYNC card together into the ES-2200T Expansion System. Some
MicroSYNC operations are not reflected on the front panel, but can still be selected. Please contact DPS for more
information.
