The DPS-210 can be used as an interface between RGB computer graphics or animation systems and Betacam or MII recorders. It also serves as a component I/O device for non-linear editing systems. Unlike some transcoders, the DPS-210 can be configured to transcode in either direction, and can provide format transcoding and level matching for interformat tape duplication.

The rear panel provides BNC connectors for all video inputs and outputs, organized as Y/C 688 kHz (U-matic DUB), Y/C 3.58 MHz (S-Video), Y/G, R-Y/R, B-Y/B, and Sync connections. The Y/G, R-Y/R, and B-Y/B connectors support both component (Betacam and MII) and RGB modes. Front panel level controls with a preset switch provide signal adjustment, and a front panel NTSC monitoring point allows signal verification.
The rear panel provides [[Hirose 7-pin DUB]] connectors for Y/C-688 input and output, [[Mini-DIN-4]] connectors for Y/C-3.58 (S-Video) input and output, and BNC connectors for the component/RGB connections (Y/G, R-Y/R, B-Y/B, Sync) and the NTSC composite monitoring output. The Y/G, R-Y/R, and B-Y/B connectors support both component (Betacam and MII) and RGB modes. Front panel level controls with a preset switch provide signal adjustment, and a front panel NTSC monitoring point allows signal verification.


The DPS-210 was also sold as the Panasonic UTP-2 (a re-badged version of the same unit). It was priced at $1,199.95 MSRP.
