Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Compliance

Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU)

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:

• Lead (Pb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our Web site, www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch , for more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE) Compliance

The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of August 13, 2005, producers or users will be required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some

EU member states may have different deadlines.)

In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. (See our Web site, www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch , for more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-2.

Installing HDX6800

+

Modules

The HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+

B4/C4 modules have double-width back connectors. The modules cannot be installed in frames without fans or in FR6802

+

DM and 6800/7000 series frames.

Caution

Before inserting, removing, or replacing a back module, you must power down the frame. Failure to do so could result in damage to the frame, modules, or power supply.

These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing both front and rear modules, ensure that the back module is installed first before plugging in the front module. Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before removing the rear module. See the FR6802

+

Upgrading Module Firmware

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800

+

modules. CCS Pilot,

CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800

+

or a 6800+Eth module.

Note

Firmware for the HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+

B4/C4 must be updated in Boot Loader mode.

In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, etc.), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in

“Correcting a Failed Upgrading

Procedure” on page 21

.

Upgrading the Firmware

Operating Notes

When setting the control parameters on the HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and

HDX6800

+

B4/C4, observe the following:

• If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters

may also be affected. See the section “Setting HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+

B4/C4 Control Parameters” on page 32 for more

information.

• When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change.

After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

• When you set the Factory Recall parameter to Yes , the module takes several seconds to reset all of the parameters to their default settings.

• The manufacturer recommends that you terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75

Ω

terminator.

Channel Dithering

When any audio output channel is of a Non-PCM format

( Output Chxx Format =Non-PCM or Output Chxx Format =Auto and Out Chxx Format Fb =Non-PCM), the Dithering feature for that channel pair (1-2, 3-4, etc.) is disabled, even if only one channel of the pair is Non-PCM. Both channels in the pair must be of a PCM format for the Dithering feature for that channel pair to be re-enabled.

For example, if Output Ch01 Format is set to Non-PCM (or Output

Ch01 Format =Auto and Out Ch01 Format Fb =Non-PCM), then output channel pair 01-02 has dithering disabled ( Out 01-02 Dithr

Mode is set to None and the parameter is disabled), even if Output

Ch02 Format is PCM. If both Output Ch01 Format and Output

Ch02 Format are changed to PCM, then the Out 01-02 Dithr Mode parameter is re-enabled.

Channel Word Length

When any audio output channel is of a Non-PCM format, the Word

Length feature for that channel pair is forced to 24-bits and the parameter is disabled, even if only one channel of the pair is Non-PCM.

Both channels in the pair must be of a PCM format for the Word Length feature for that channel pair to be re-enabled.

For example, if Output Ch01 Format is set to Non-PCM, then the Out

Ch01-02 Word Len parameter is set to 24 bits and that parameter is disabled, even if Output Ch02 Format is PCM. If both Output Ch01

Format and Output Ch02 Format are changed to PCM (or Auto, and the associated feedback parameters are PCM), then the Out Ch01-02

Word Len parameter is re-enabled.

Channel Fade Rate

The channel fade rate is a single control for all output channels. This feature is only applied to output channels operating in PCM format. It is automatically disabled for individual output channels operating in

Non-PCM format.

1 Use Non-PCM channel format when passing compressed audio such as Dolby-E.

2 These read-only parameters indicate the audio and video timing relationship, as indicated in the associated audio group control packet (see SMPTE 299M section 6.2.4). In regard to the embedded audio in the HD stream, positive values indicate that the video leads the audio, while negative values indicate that the audio leads the video. Note that these parameters only notify the network if there is a change in value; typically, these values do not change.

Module Status LEDs

The HDX6800

B4/C4 modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, module status LEDs on the corner of the module light up if an error is detected. See Figure 3-1 on page 52 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 3-8 below for a definition of the LED colors.

Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example,

+

Pilot Lite or Pilot). See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

+

Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules

Confirm that the following items are not the reason for the communication failure:

• The proper module slot has not been specified (

+

Pilot Lite is not communicating with the appropriate slot). See your FR6802+

Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on slot identification.

• The COM port is used elsewhere (Check that the correct COM port is configured in

+

Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port).

• The actual frame ID does not match the two DIP switch settings in the back of the frame (

+

Pilot Lite is not communicating with the proper frame). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and

Operation Manual for more information on frame ID switch settings.

• A null modem cable is not being used. Between the PC running

+

Pilot Lite and the FR6802

+

frame, there should be a null RS-232 modem cable. At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed and 5 to 5 for ground.

• An ICE6800

+

module is installed in the frame (

+

Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800

+

module is installed in the frame;

ICE6800

+

modules are used for CCS control).

HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+



• A legacy 6800 series product is in the frame. To communicate with

+

Pilot Lite, modules must be from the 6800

+

product family.

+

Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products.

Although they can be installed in a FR6802

+

XF frame and work using card edge controls, 6800 series cards cannot be discovered or controlled by

+

Pilot Lite.

• The back module has bent pins. To determine if the module has bent pins, follow this procedure: a.

Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module.

c.

View the 20-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back

module. See Figure B-1 .

20-pin connector

72

Figure B-1. Connector on 6800

+

Back Module

This connector should not have any bent or pressed pins. Even a slightly depressed or bent pin may cause genlock issues. d. If there are bent pins, carefully re-position them to their correct positions.

If this is not possible, then a back module can be exchanged from manufacturer.

HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+



+

Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in Frame

If a discovery is started too soon after frame power-up,

+

Pilot Lite will not find all the installed modules. Refresh

+

Pilot Lite ( File >

Refresh ), and ensure that installed modules are fully powered-up before discovery.

If a module is plugged into the frame after a discovery,

+

Pilot Lite will not automatically detect the module. Refresh

+

Pilot Lite ( File >

Refresh ) to discover the newly installed module.

If a legacy 6800 series product is in the frame,

+

Pilot Lite will not detect it.

+

Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products. Although they can be installed in the FR6802

+

XF frame and work using card edge controls, they will not be discovered or controlled by

+

Pilot Lite. For

+

Pilot Lite to find a module, it must be from the

6800

+

product family.

+

Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding

+

Pilot Lite and a CCS application such as Navigator or Pilot cannot run on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but only one can be opened at a time.

+

Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window

Consider these questions:

• Did you physically set the jumper for local control? If so, set this jumper to the REM position for remote control.

• Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the positioning of the module in its slot in the frame.

• Does the Control window indicate the device is “ready”? The device may be powered off or disconnected from the network.

HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+



+

Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports ‘Not Ready’

+

Pilot Lite reports each device’s connection status in the status bar. If the connection status message reads “Not Ready,” check the following:

• Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the position of the module in the frame.

• Is the frame connected to the network? Check the device’s network connection.

If the status bar still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or device, try restarting

+

Pilot Lite.

CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does

Not Communicate with Module

CCS software applications (such as Pilot, CoPilot, and Navigator) and remote control panels require the purchase and installation of an

ICE6800

+

module in an FR6802

+

frame in order to communicate remotely via Ethernet.

Alarm Query Fails When a Device Reboots

When you reboot a device connected to your PC, the alarm traffic hitting the network may cause an alarm query request to time out and fail. While the query does not automatically retry, it will post an “Alarm query failed” message to the Diagnostics window.

To clear an “Alarm query failed” message, right-click inside the Diagnostics window, and then select Refresh from the resulting context menu.

74 HDX6800

+

B2/C2 and HDX6800

+



Hardware Communication and Control Issues

Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power

Failure

Have you exited the software and restarted since the frame recovered from its power failure? To restore communications between the PC and the frames, ensure that the frames have three or more minutes to recover from the power failure before you exit the application and restart the

PC.

Module Does Not Seem to Work

Although the following troubleshooting tips may seem obvious, please take the time to ensure the following:

• All appropriate rear connections are securely made

• The board is securely installed (with no bent pins)

• The frame is turned on
