Connecting The ES-450J!
Connecting the ES-450J in your system is rather straightforward and easy.
The ES-450J comes with an attached breakout cable. The end has 1

Using Your ES-450J
Identifying Your Recorder
As soon as the ES-450J is powered up, the controller continuously asks the
recorder for its Device ID. The ES-450J uses this response to adjust its
behavior to specific recorders.
The ES-450J also uses this Device ID to determine the frame rate of the
recorder. This is used for the Frame+1/Frame-1 function.
The ES-450J currently has specific functionality for the following recorders:
•Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio Series
•Aja Ki Pro Series
•Fast Forward Video Recorders
•VideoDevices PIX Series
•Datavideo HDR-60/70
•Sony XDCAM Series
•Atomos Shogun Studio
If the recorder responds with any other Device ID, the unit controls the
recorder as a generic Sony Betacam (BVW-75) recorder.
Timecode Display
The ES-450J continuously asks the recorder selected for tally for its
position. The ES-450J will display the recorders position in the Timecode
display on the controller.
Nondrop frame timecode is indicated
without a period before the timecode as
shown in the screenshot at right.
Drop frame timecode is indicated with a
period before the timecode as shown in the
screenshot at left.

Using The ES-450J
F-PLAY
Pressing the F-PLAY button causes the ES-450J to send the Play
command.
RECORD
Pressing the SHIFT + F-Play button causes the ES-450J to send the Record
command. This also known as Crash Record. When the recorder enters
the record mode, the recorder will respond accordingly and the ES-450J will
illuminate the Record indicator. Conversely, when the recorder exits the
record mode, the recorder will respond accordingly and the ES-450J will
extinguish the Record indicator.
Note: Only the recorder selected for tally is used to illuminate the Record indicator.
When the recorder is in Record mode, pressing the STOP button causes the
ES-450J to command the recorder to stop recording.
R-PLAY
Pressing the R-PLAY button causes the ES-450J to send the Variable
Reverse 1x command.
F-FWD, REWIND
Pressing the F-FWD/Rewind buttons causes the ES-450J to send the Fast
Forward and Rewind commands respectively.
STOP
Pressing the STOP button causes the ES-450J to stop the playback of
video. If the recorder is in Record mode, the ES-450J commands the
recorder to stop recording.
For the Atomos Shogun Studio, ES-450J sends the Stop command.
For all other recorders, ES-450J sends the Shuttle Forward 0x command.
This is also known as Pause or Still.
FRAME+1, FRAME-1
Pressing the Frame+1/Frame-1 buttons cause the ES-450J to retrieve the
current timecode from the recorder selected for tally, adds or subtracts one
frame from the timecode and commands the recorder to goto that new
position.

CLIP/10 SEC+, CLIP/10 SEC-
For the Ki Pro, Sony XDCAM and VideoDevices PIX Series recorders,
pressing the Clip/10 Sec+ button causes the ES-450J to command the
recorder to load the next clip. Pressing the Clip/10 Sec- button causes the
ES-450J to command the recorder to load the previous clip.
For all other recorders, pressing these buttons causes the ES-450J to
retrieve the current timecode from the recorder selected for tally, adds or
subtracts ten seconds from the timecode and commands the recorder to
goto that new position.
2/4/8/16X+, 2/4/8/16X-
Pressing the 2/4/8/16x+, 2/4/8/16x- buttons cause the ES-450J to send the
Shuttle Forward or Reverse 2x command. Subsequent presses cause the
ES-450J to increase the speed to 4x, 8x and 16x.
+1/2X SPEED
Pressing the 1/2x Speed button at the top left corner of the ES-450J will
cause the ES-450J to send the Shuttle Forward 1/2x command.
JOG WHEEL
Turning the center Jog wheel causes the recorder to play video slowly
(slower than play speed). Turning the Jog wheel clockwise causes the video
to move forward. Conversely, turning the Jog wheel counterclockwise
causes the video to move backwards. The Jog wheel has a range of
forward 1/2x play speed to reverse 1/2x play speed.
When the Jog wheel ceases moving, the ES-450J pauses the video
playback. The ES-450J also retrieves the current timecode from the
recorder selected for tally and commands all the selected recorders to goto
that new position. This allows all the selected recorders to pause at the
same location.
As the Jog wheel is turned, the direction indicators above the Jog wheel will
illuminate based on the direction that the Jog wheel is being turned. Turning
the Jog wheel clockwise causes the right facing direction indicator to
illuminate. Conversely, turning the Jog wheel counterclockwise causes the
left facing direction indicator to illuminate. When the Jog wheel ceases
moving, both direction indicators are extinguished.

SHUTTLE RING
Turning the outer Shuttle ring causes the recorder to play video quickly
(faster than play speed). Turning the Shuttle ring clockwise from the center
detent position causes the video to move forward. Conversely, turning the
Shuttle ring counterclockwise from the center detent position causes the
video to move backwards. The Shuttle ring has a range of forward 10x play
speed to reverse 10x play speed.
When the Shuttle ring is moved to the center detent, the ES-450J pauses
the video playback. The ES-450J also retrieves the current timecode from
the recorder selected for tally and commands all the selected recorders to
goto that new position. This allows all the selected recorders to pause at
the same location.
As the Shuttle ring is turned, the direction indicators above the Shuttle ring
will illuminate based on the direction that the Shuttle ring is being turned.
Turning the Shuttle ring clockwise causes the right facing direction indicator
to illuminate. Conversely, turning the Shuttle ring counterclockwise causes
the left facing direction indicator to illuminate. When the Shuttle ring is
brought to the center detent, both direction indicators are illuminated.
Note: The ES-450J uses the center detent position to calibrate the Shuttle ring. If
the ES-450J is powered up with the Shuttle ring out of the center detent position,
the Shuttle ring may not work as expected.
ON/OFF
This button allows the Jog wheel and Shuttle ring to be enabled or disabled.
Tap the button once to disable the Jog wheel and Shuttle ring. Tap the
button again to enable the Jog wheel and Shuttle ring.
