DPS was "Digital Processing Systems". They went back to the 1970s at  least.
I worked at WBBH where they had a DPS Frame Sync. When I got to the  
station in 1988, the DPS had already been replaced with a newer Harris unit,  but 
they still called it DPS. I have a photo from 1979 of a pretty girl  sitting 
next to the DPS.

In  the picture, the thing is not in a rack yet, so I think it may have 
been new  at the time. I have used a nearly identical box with a different 
brand on it  (CVS? Component Video Systems?) 

I had folks at WBBH tell me stories of yanking cards out of the DPS frame  
to "create" effects.

So, DPS had been around for awhile before the Amiga and they jumped  aboard 
the Video Toaster bandwagon.
They took advantage of an Amiga 200 feature. The 2000 had four ISA slots  
that were unconnected to the computer's bus, but had power. (Can explain why  
if interested) DPS built their cards to draw power from the motherboard, 
but  had serial data connections back to the Amiga's serial port. With some 
cards,  they had internal ribbon-cable interconnects to a Video Toaster for 
S-Video to  Composite, etc. Very clever.

Didn't they start out making cards for  the Amiga, including a TBC? I think 
I know some people still using  it.
