1 Dipole antenna with right angle SMA connector
1 DTC programming software package
1 DTC programming cable
1 One Video and Power In “Y” cable
QUICK START
Make sure that the power to the transmitter is OFF.
Using a screwdriver, turn the channel selector to the correct channel number.
Connect an antenna to the ANTENNA connector on the module.
Select Hi or Lo Power using the recessed switch.
Connect the microphone or microphones to the MIC-1 and MIC-2 connectors
on the module.
6 Connect a video source and external power (11 -16 VDC) to the
Video/Multi-I/O connector.
7 Apply power to the transmitter
Warning: Do not apply power to the transmitter until an antenna has been
connected in step 3.
Warning: Refer to Appendix A of this manual for information on the proper
use of antennas.
NOTE: DTC has provided you with a “Y” cable (power and video) terminated
with an RCA connector and a BNC adapter for your convenience.
NOTE: The dipole antenna included is not recommended for normal use! This
antenna enables you to quickly set up your transmitter and ensure proper
operation. DTC highly recommends the use of circularly polarized antennas
for the best rejection of multi-path.
OVERVIEW
The VMS transmitters are small module transmitters designed for off body applications. They are part of a family of video
transmitters from DTC that provide 250 mW, 2 Watts and 5 Watts output power.
Feature
Programmable
Audio Sub-Carriers
Description
User programmable video channels, selectable in 250 kHz steps. Two
user programmable audio sub carriers, selectable in 10 kHz steps
from 6 MHz to 7.5 MHz.
Audio sub carriers are OFF unless microphones are connected. The
transmitter automatically senses when a microphone has been
connected.
The audio sub carriers are phase locked, and will not drift into the
video signal.
Automatic Gain Control is provided on each audio input, amplifying
soft sounds.
Efficient Switching Power Supply
They generate far less heat than traditional video transmitters.
They operate significantly longer than traditional video transmitters on
the same power source.
External Power Loop Through
The power applied to the Multi I/O pin is automatically looped through
the unit, and available on a second pin to power a remote device,
such as a camera. If you apply 9 Volts in, you will get 9 Volts out, with
a maximum current drain of 200mA
Encryption Options
The VMS series supports Ovation Micro ViewLock II™encryption,
which adds approximately .35" to the thickness of the unit.

11
Baseplate operating temperature is
-20° to + 80°C. Most applications will
not require a heatsink. In applications
where the baseplate temperature will
exceed +80°, add “-HO” to any
VMXX-2000 transmitter part number
for the optional heat sink at no
additional charge. The drawing on
the left clearly marks the mounting
holes for the heatsink installation
when required. To install the
heatsink.
1 Align the mounting holes of the transmitter to the
mounting holes on the heatsink.
2 Secure the heatsink with four (4) 6-32 x 1”
screws.

MICROPHONE CONNECTORS
Microphone Connectors
Two connectors accommodate two microphone inputs. Each
connector has two contacts and provides power to the
microphone as well as connecting the audio signal into the
transmitter. The audio sub-carriers are activated by the
presence of the microphone. If a microphone is removed,
that sub-carrier is removed from the transmit signal. Turning
off the unused sub-carrier saves power and improves picture
quality.

WARNING: Refer to Appendix A of
this manual for information on the

A standard SMA connector is used as the antenna connector
on the VMS-2000. Refer to a list of DTC antennas available
on page 17.
TIP: You may use the VMS series transmitters with other
manufacturers antennas. Verify that they are suited for
the band you are operating in.

the transmitter.
It is configured to supply:
•
The video signal to the transmitter
from the camera.
•
Power to the transmitter through a
molex connector that can easily be
connected to DTC’s battery packs. It
also comes standard with stripped

mounted with the MAF-1 grip on two surfaces, via two pairs of “1/4-20” tapped
holes located in the rear center and the bottom center of the aluminum housing.
The front of the antenna is a radome made of a polycarbonate material. The
antenna is suitable for indoor and short-term outdoor use. It must be protected for
extended outdoor use and installations since it is not waterproof.

APPENDIX A
Using Antennas with the VMS-2000 Video Transmitter
Any suitable antenna may be used, however to insure safe operation, it is
imperative that proper spacing be maintained between the radiating surface of
the antenna and any persons body. No antenna should be placed closer than 19
inches (48 cm) to the body. To insure that proper spacing is maintained, locate
the transmitter or arrange physical barriers in such away that people are
prevented from approaching too closely.

PROGRAMMING
Introduction
DTC has built in a lot of flexibility in the programming options you have on the
VMS series transmitters. You can choose to use some, all or none of this
flexibility.
When you order a VMS transmitter, DTC will factory program your frequencies at
no additional charge to you. You may want to place a sticker over the rotary switch
on the chassis, so users in the field don’t attempt to change frequencies. This is
often the best path for state and local agencies with limited frequencies available
to them.
DTC will also provide you with free software and a free programming cable,
enabling you to change your video frequencies and their associated audio subcarriers. This is ideal if you often work with other agencies, or anticipate the
equipment being used by a multi-jurisdictional task force. You can program up to
ten channel settings per unit. In general, this allows you to program most variations you might encounter in the field at the depot level.
As a practical matter, your VMS transmitter’s video frequencies and audio subcarriers will be dictated by the frequency and sub-carriers(s) of your receiver and/
or repeater. In many cases, these devices are crystal controlled or have few
channel options.
TIP: Make sure that you program your transmitter to match the frequencies
and audio sub-carriers or your receiver, and test the components as a
system prior to going into the field!
