Setting up the ES-450SP4
As a deck controller the ES-450SP4 requires little in the way of
setup to use it with a video server or VTR.
1. Connect your video server or VTR to one of the 9-pin D-
sub connectors on the breakout cable of the ES-450SP4.
2. Connect the supplied power supply to the breakout cable of
the ES-450SP4.
3. Select Frame Rate by pressing SHIFT + STOP
Your device must be set for remote operation. Please consult your
Operators Manual for details.
Power
For convenience, the ES-450 has two power connectors, one on the
rear panel and one at the end of the breakout cable. Either
connector can be used. However, only the connector on the rear
panel is controlled by the power switch. The power switch does
not affect the power connector on the breakout cable.

Configuration
Before using the ES-450SP4, we recommend setting it up for the
various ways you may need to use it in.
Frame Rate
This setting is used to set the frame rate used in Frame+1 and
Frame-1 calculations. This is done by pressing SHIFT + STOP.
This will switch between the following frame rates:
• 24 (Film)
• 25 (PAL)
• 30 (NTSC)
Track Arming Mode
This determines how the audio track arming is handled. This is
toggled by pressing SHIFT+REWIND. The options are:
• Type 1 (Default)
Older decks with 2 analog tracks.
A1 = Analog Audio 1 (This is sometimes interpreted as
Digital Audio 1 in some decks)
A2 = Analog Audio 2 (This is sometimes interpreted as
Digital Audio 2 in some decks)
Shift + A1 = Analog Audio 3 (TC in some decks)
Shift + A2 = Analog Audio 4 (Sync in some decks)
• Type 2
Sends a 2 byte track arm message with the A1 & A2 bits
copied from the D1 & D2 bits. Tally back uses byte 5 of
the Status message.
A1 = Analog Audio 1 and Digital Audio 1
A2 = Analog Audio 2 and Digital Audio 2
Shift + A1 = Digital Audio 3
Shift + A2 = Digital Audio 4
