Setting up the ES-450SP
The ES-450SP can operate in either of two modes: as a stand-alone
master controller for VTRs and decks that respond to the Sony 9-
pin protocol or, as a slave device meant to be attached to a host
that directly supports the ES-450SP. See your system
documentation for details. As shipped from the factory, the ES-
450SP is normally configured as a deck controller.
Controlling a Machine
As a deck controller the ES-450SP requires little in the way of
setup to use it with a VTR or audio deck.
1. Connect the 9-pin D-sub connector from the
rear of the ES-450SP to your machine or computer.
2. Connect the supplied power supply to the end
of the cable attached to the ES-450SP
3. Select Frame Rate by pressing SHIFT + EJECT
Your machine must be set for remote operation. Please consult
your Operators Manual for details.
Using with a Host Computer
Using the ES-450SP with a host computer requires the unit to be
changed to slave mode. To do so, you will need the following
tools: a 5/64" hex wrench, and a small flat-blade screwdriver.
1. Remove the four Allen screws from the front panel.
2. Carefully remove the front panel from the bottom chassis.
3. On the small circuit board, remove the 8-pin IC, which is
inserted into U3 “To Mach.” socket, and move it to the "To
Host" socket. Make sure orientation is preserved.
4. Remove the jumper JB1.
(In case the unit might be changed back in the future, you
can re-plug in the jumper to only on pin of JB1.)
5. Reassemble the front panel to the bottom chassis.
