Experience an Integrated Content Environment
Leitch Technology is uniquely capable of meeting the needs of customers with a full range of products that provide
the experience of an Integrated Content Environment — a streamlined workflow for the production, processing,
transmission and management of content.
The area of content production has seen increases in source and output formats, effects, layers and volume of
material to be edited. As a result, editors need tools that enable increased productivity to offset these additional
time demands, while increasing performance and enhancing creativity.
VelocityQ™ running on Quattrus™ hardware, including a new interface style featuring the unique EyeCon View, has
received glowing reviews for its “real-time full-quality” playback speed of four video streams, up to six graphic
layers and four 3D DVEs.
Leitch’s new NEXIO™ server system, a modular, scalable and highly cost-effective storage infrastructure for news
and transmission environments, includes gigabit Ethernet for easy integration with IP networks for movement of
content. NEXIO features industry-leading productivity — with the introduction of Ingest Control Manager™,
NewsFlash™ server-based NLE, and BrowseCutter™ II low-resolution editing system — to provide the fastest and
most effective workflow today.
The advent of fully Integrated Content Environments has led to significant efficiency improvements in workflow,
with processing and monitoring now integrated and transparent.
NEO™, Leitch’s advanced processing platform, not only hosts single-function modules, but also consolidates multiple
functions on a single “Simplicity” card. New award-winning modules have been added with the NEO VR™ digital
video recorder, LogoMotion™ II branding tool and the NEO SuiteView multi-source display processor. More
functionality can be achieved by customers’ infrastructure environments with the high-density 6800+™.
Leitch’s industry-leading routing offerings allow customers to connect high-quality signals of all formats from
analog to HD. Panacea™ provides affordable, compact, modular routing in sizes up to 32x32. The new wideband
Integrator® Gold provides scalable routing of almost any digital signal up to 128x128 in a single frame. All
processing and routing platforms are fully integrated with Leitch’s advanced Command Control System (CCS™).
Advancements in digital technologies have enabled more channels, in different content formats, over multiple
distribution systems. Customers now seek to achieve their vision of a fully Integrated Content Environment to supply
multiple distribution channels with high-quality content and branding.
Leitch’s NEXIO transmission server, which supports multiple compression formats in both standard and
high-definition resolution, will also support ASI interface and has the ability to record, process and playback
MPEG transport streams.
Leitch’s Opus™ master control switcher offers an array of effects and has the ability to control up to
16 on-air channels. Opus meets multi-channel digital integration challenges for both high-definition and
standard-definition formats.
Integrated Content Environments offer the greatest opportunity for productivity and performance gains when
employing content management and control applications that place content, operations or remote locations under
common software controls.
A major workflow enhancement is Leitch’s Ingest Control Manager™, which places control of up to 16 server
channels with associated proc amps (DPS-575), eight VTRs and eight separate routers under one control station.
Leitch’s CCS Navigator™, winner of NAB 2003’s highest awards for control and monitoring of content quality,
and the CCS™ soft real-time system provide open access through standard protocols to components
of a networked system.

Preface
Additional EMC Information
This device is for professional use in a controlled EMC environment,
such as purpose-built broadcast studios.
EMC regulations require that the radiation emitted from this unit does
not exceed certain limits. These limits are only met when the front panel
is closed and the two thumb screws are secured.
Compliance to the EMC regulations is also dependent on the use of
suitably shielded (screened) cables. Coax cables should be of the
double-shielded (screened) variety. Unused BNCs should be fitted with
75W terminations.
All audio cables should be screened with the shield (screen) making
good contact with the metallic parts of the cable connectors.
D-type connectors used with this unit should always have metallic
shells with the shield (screen) of the cable mechanically bonded to the
metal shell. It is further recommended that the D-type cable connectors
be of the “dimple” variety. These connectors make a better contact and
consequently improve EMC performance.

Introduction
Overview
The Leitch Technology X75HD™ High-Definition Digital Processing
Synchronizer is a standard and high-definition utility synchronizer and
converter that combines video and audio processing capabilities with
the ability to up-convert, down-convert, and cross-convert from most
common input and output video formats.
The X75HD is equally suited for analog, digital, or hybrid facilities, and
represents the ideal choice for broadcasters making the transition to
digital television (DTV and HDTV). Available in video-only and
audio/video configurations, these synchronizers provide an ideal bridge
between analog and digital and high definition systems with analog,
digital and embedded audio.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Audio Processing
Processing for audio includes level control, analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog conversion, and SD-SDI and HD-SDI serial digital
signal embedding and de-embedding for interfacing any audio signal in
a professional environment. Audio is sample rate converted,
synchronized, and timed to video to correct for lip sync errors.
Embedded compressed audio signals, such as AC-3™, can be
de-embedded or embedded. Multiple channel program signals can be
processed for surround-sound applications before or after compression.
The available AFV (audio-follow-video) mode, a popular audio
input-to-output processing feature, launches when video inputs are
selected, but can easily be over-ridden if required.
All audio can be converted, adjusted, timed, de-multiplexed, and
multiplexed, as required.
Signal Control and Monitoring
Embedded metadata in the program stream (for example, closed
captioning) is passed transparently from input to output. Control and
monitoring of signals passing through the X75HD is enabled using IP
over Ethernet. Instant operator control from the local or remote control
panels allow for easy manipulation over video and audio signals. PC
control and monitoring over large networks is entirely manageable by
using two Ethernet ports per unit.
Operating Modes
There are two main operational modes: M-Path (multiple path)
processing, and Simulcast processing.
•
M-Path operation involves processing any analog, digital, and
HDTV inputs to any analog, digital and HDTV outputs, providing
multi-channel processing, and allowing the wrapping around of an
SDTV transport device (for example, a VTR). Also provided are up
to 16-channels (8 AES) of audio processing.
•
Simulcast operation allows the selection of any two inputs for clean
and simultaneous switching between selected outputs (for example,
SDTV and HDTV).
See “Overview of Operating Modes” on page 10 for more information
on modes of operation.

Front and Rear Panels
Front Panel Description
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 illustrate the available X75HD front panels,
including blank panels and control panels.
For X75HD units with a blank front panel, all configuration and control
must be done remotely using one of the following methods:
•
Separate remote control panel such as the RCP-X75
•
Web server application using a common Web browser such as
Internet Explorer™ (IE) or Netscape™
As well, blank front panels only provide a certain number of LEDs for
alarm and status monitoring, including major and minor alarm LEDs,
and status LEDs for power and memory access.
For X75HD units with an installed local control panel, configuration
and control can be done locally. Numerous LEDs that indicate alarm,
status, and configuration information are available from the front
control panel. For more detailed information on front panel controls and
indicators, see the Control Panels for X75 Systems Installation and
Operation Manual.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview of Operating Modes
There are two main operational modes: M-Path (multiple-path)
processing, and Simulcast processing.
If you are selecting a single or multiple source for signal processing,
you do not need configure the system in any special way. Depending on
your input source selections, the single-source or multi-source
operating mode is automatically set, and the required processing carried
out. See “M-Path Operation” below for more information on M-Path
operation.
If you want the X75HD system to operate in Simulcast mode (where
any two inputs are selected to cleanly switch simultaneously between
determined outputs, such as SDTV and HDTV), you will need to set-up
the unit to process signal information differently. To do this, see
“Simulcast Operation” on page 14.
M-Path Operation
Video Processing
Note
For some conversion processes,
the optional analog video input
module is required.
M-Path operation involves the processing of any analog, digital, and
HDTV inputs to any analog, digital and HDTV outputs; provides
multiple channel processing; and allows for the wrapping around of an
SDTV transport device (for example, a VTR).
Accepted video input signals include analog component/Betacam,
analog composite, and S-video/CAV, DV, SD-SDI, and HD-SDI.
Analog (composite/S-video/CAV) and DV inputs are optional.
Available video outputs include analog composite, analog
component/RGB/Betacam, S-video/CAV, DV, DVI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI,
and streaming. DV and streaming outputs are optional.
During processing, the X75HD up-converts, down-converts, or
cross-converts, as required. Various examples of video processing are
illustrated in Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6 on page 11.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Audio Processing
An X75HD unit can process up to 16-channels (8 stereo channels) of
audio at the same time as the video. Any combination of audio is
assigned from the inputs (four channel analog audio, five AES balanced
or unbalanced, up to four groups demuxed from the SD-SDI and
HD-SDI input) into the 16-channel processor.
The processed audio signals can be mapped to all outputs. When one set
of audio input is selected, these mono channels are mapped intelligently
to provide outputs to all available channels. Audio outputs include the
following: four channel analog audio, five AES balanced and
unbalanced, up to four groups muxed into the SD-SDI and HD-SDI
outputs.
Other M-Path audio processing variations include the following:
•
Compressed audio can be de-embedded into an external audio
decoder, then the decompressed multiple channel surround-sound
audio is processed through the X75HD.
•
Multiple channel surround-sound audio can be processed, sent to an
external encoder, and then embedded into the video program signal.
All audio can be converted, adjusted, timed, multiplexed, and
de-multiplexed, as required.
Figure 1-7 on page 13 illustrates the audio processing flow.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Simulcast Operation
General Description
Simulcast operation allows you to identify two inputs and outputs (out
of many possible inputs) that you intend to cleanly switch between
frequently. As an example, when you enable this mode, the X75HD can
cleanly switch SDTV and HDTV inputs to simultaneous, deterministic
SDTV and HDTV outputs. This mode is useful for when you need to
alternate between both HDTV and SDTV signals and broadcast them
together (for example, if you have an HDTV satellite feed carrying the
programming and an SDTV local feed carrying the advertisements). A
simplified illustration is provided below.
Figure 1-8. Simulcast Processing
Enabling Simulcast Mode
To enable Simulcast as the operating mode for the X75HD, navigate to
the Routing Setup menu, and select Simulcast Mode Select. Set the
Simulcast Enable parameter to Enable.
For more information on selecting inputs for Simulcast processing, see
“Understanding X75HD Processing Modes” on page 77.

Required Jumper Settings and Local Configuration
Setting Jumpers
The AS-X75HD module requires you to configure several jumpers
prior to operation to properly configure both the analog audio input and
output impedance.
Note
Beside each jumper described in
this section, there is a white
triangle screened on the board.
This triangle points to pin 1.
•
Set jumpers J5 through J8 to configure the analog audio input
impedance. To do this, place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 to set the
input impedance to 600W, or on pins 2 and 3 to set the input
impedance to 100 kW. Make the same impedance setting to all
required jumpers (J5, J6, J7, J8).
•
Set jumpers J1 through J4, and J9 through J12 to configure the
analog audio output impedance. To do this, place a jumper on pins 1
and 2 to set the output impedance to 600W, or on pins 2 and 3 to set
the output impedance to 66W. Make the same impedance setting to
all required jumpers (J1, J2, J3, J4, J9, J10, J11, J12).
Jumpers 1 through 12 can all be found at the rear of the board, located
directly behind the back panel. Figure 3-2 shows their general location.

Installing Audio Receptacles
To make analog audio input and output connections, you need to
appropriately connect stripped wires for each audio channel to the
provided audio receptacle. Once done, install the wired receptacle to the
back panel audio input and output connectors. The following procedure
describes this process:
1. Insert a small, flathead screw driver into a rectangular hole of the
audio receptacle. The corresponding round wire hole will open
(either directly above or directly below the screwdriver).
2. Heeding the positive (+), negative (-), and ground (GND) markings
on the back panel, place an appropriate stripped audio wire into the
open hole.
The top row of wire connection holes alternate between positive
and ground. The bottom row of wire connection holes alternate
between negative and ground. See Figure 3-3.

Preparing for Installation
Prior to installing your system, you need to ensure certain
environmental and electrical conditions are met, and that frame support
brackets are installed on the chassis. This section covers the following
topics:
•
“Meeting Electrical Requirements” on page 50
•
“Meeting Environmental Requirements” on page 50
•
“Understanding Power Supply Load Limitations” on page 51
•
“Installing a Redundant Power Supply” on page 52
•
“Removing and Replacing Fans” on page 52
•
“Upgrading to a Local Control Panel” on page 52
Meeting Electrical Requirements
The X75HD power supply has a universal input of 100-240 VAC at
47 to 63 Hz (nominal). There is no voltage selector switch. Ensure that
a proper power supply source is available prior to operating your
system.
Meeting Environmental Requirements
Caution
To ensure proper ventilation and
to prevent the frame from
overheating, keep the front
panel of a X75HD frame closed.
50
X75HD frames are cooled by forced air drawn in from the front of the
frame and exhausted through vents at the rear. There must be free
passage for air flow at the front and back of the unit to allow for
adequate ventilation. Take care to select a dry, well-ventilated location
with a minimum of dust.
Frames are designed for mounting in a standard 19-in. (48-cm) rack
using standard front-mounting ears and rear support brackets, and
occupy a 1RU vertical space of 1.75 in. (4.4 cm). When installing a
frame in a rack, ensure that there is adequate space behind the mounting
ears and clearance for the connecting cables at the rear of the frame.
Maintain about 10 in. (25 cm) of slack in the rear connecting cables to
allow for frame access and maintenance while installed in the rack.
X75HD Installation and Operation Manual
Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
Chapter 4: System Installation and Connections
After unpacking the unit and before installing into a console or rack,
allow at least 30 minutes for temperatures to equalize and to eliminate
any condensation that may have developed. X75HD frames require an
ambient temperature of between 41° to 113°F (5° to 45°C), with a
relative humidity of 10-90% (non condensing). The frame can only
maintain proper operating temperatures when the front panel is properly
installed.
Understanding Power Supply Load Limitations
Each X75HD frame has space for two power supplies; however, a
single power supply can meet the requirements of a fully-loaded frame.
An optional second power supply can be purchased to provide full
backup redundancy. See “Installing a Redundant Power Supply” on
page 52 for more information.
These ratings refer to the total module power consumption (excluding
that of the power supply) allowable within a X75HD frame. The limits
are based on the ability of the unit to dissipate heat over a temperature
range of 32° to 122°F (0° to 45°C).
The maximum frame loading figures are described in Table 4-1 on
page 51.

Setting IP and Subnet Mask Addresses
To allow devices to communicate on a network, you need to set all
devices to the same subnet (network location). When shipped, all
X75HD units are configured with the same default IP (device identifier)
and subnet addresses. These addresses need to be changed so that each
unit is uniquely identified and the network location of all units is
accurately reflected.
An IP address is made up of a four-item set of numbers (octet). The
default (factory-configured) IP address for every X75HD unit is
192.168.100.250. You need to change the first three items in the octet to
identify the location (address) of the unit on your network; you need to
change the last item in the octet to uniquely identify the device from
other X75HD units.
The default subnet mask address for every X75HD is 255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask address always ends in a 0 (zero).

This section provides the following general configuration procedures:
•
“Preparing for Remote Control via RCP” on page 73
•
“Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” on page 74
See your Control Panels for X75 Systems Installation and Operation
Manual for more information on using an RCP-X75 remote control
panel.
Preparing for Remote Control via RCP
Note
A frame-mounted local control
panel (LCP) can also remotely
control other networked X75HD
units. Procedures described in
this section also apply to LCP
control. See “Using a
Frame-Mounted Local Control
Panel for Remote Operation” on
page 75 for more information.
You can remotely control X75HD units over a network from a remote
control panel. RCP-X75 panels remotely control X75HD units via
broadcast. Switchers and routers in the network need to be configured
accordingly. Preparation for remote control includes the following:
1. Using an LCP, reconfigure each X75HD and RCP-X75 unit with
unique IP addresses and other appropriate network settings,
including shared subnet mask addresses. See “Setting IP and
Subnet Mask Addresses” on page 70 for details.
2. Restart each X75HD and RCP-X75 unit.
After restarting an X75HD unit or RCP-X75 panel, you will need to
wait approximately 20 seconds before they are detected on the
network.
3. Connect all X75HD systems and remote panels to a TCP/IP-based
network hub or switch using 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
For RCP-X75 units, the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector on the
rear of the unit, labelled CONTROL, is used to connect the panel to
a TCP/IP-based network for remote control and status monitoring
of a selected device. For remote control using an LCP, connect to
the CTRL/STRM port at the back of the X75HD unit. See “Making
Required Hardware Connections” on page 69 for more information.
4. Discover all units found on the network, and then select the one you
wish to control. See “Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” below
for details.

remote system currently being controlled by the panel.
3. Use the control knob to scroll through the list of available X75HD
devices, highlight the unit you wish to control, and then press
Enter.
The RCP-X75 screen reads “Connecting...”.
4. Wait a few moments, and the menu of the selected X75HD unit
appears along with all of that unit’s settings.
Note
The light on the Remote button
flashes while the unit is
remotely controlling a device.

5. Operate the selected unit as required.
Once a unit is selected for remote control, all front panel features
operate as if you were actually at the front panel of the selected
remote unit. This means that the VFD panel, status indicators, and
buttons (with the exception of the Remote and Option button) all
control and/or reflect the status of the remote unit, NOT the one you
are physically operating.

physically operating, click Remote, and then select a new device to
control. Select <local device> to resume normal single-unit
operation.
Using a Frame-Mounted Local Control Panel for Remote Operation
After ensuring that all connections and network settings have been
made, you can also remotely control X75HD units that are on the
network using a frame-mounted local control panel (LCP). To do this,
click Remote on the LCP to enter Remote mode, and to view the list of
X75HD units available for control on the same subnet. The procedure
remains the same for selecting and operating devices remotely via LCP
as for the RCP-X75.
See “Using an RCP-X75 for Remote Operation” on page 74 for details.

Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Configuring for HTTP Control
(via Web Browser)
Once the networking parameters of the X75HD have been configured
appropriately, and it is connected to the Ethernet network, the built-in
Web server allows a standard Web browser to control the X75HD unit.
Before controlling your unit in this way, note the following system and
browser requirements:
•
The X75HD supports Web browsers that are compatible with
HTML 4.0 (and later).
•
Although most standard Web browsers can be used with the
X75HD for HTTP control, the following browsers have been tested
and approved by Leitch: Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0,
Netscape® Navigator™ 7.2, and Mozilla® Firefox™ 1.0.
Procedure
To select a unit for control, follow these steps:
1. Ensure all required connections and network settings have been
made locally on your X75HD unit(s).
Note
Web browser control is only
available for X75HD units, and
not for RCP-X75 panels.
2. Open a supported Web browser, and then type the IP address of the
unit you wish to control into the Address, Location, or URL field
of your Web browser (the name of the field depends on the Web
browser you are using). For example, type the following to control
an X75HD unit with this IP address:
http://192.168.100.250
The Web browser then displays the Home page of the X75HD
Control interface (Web server).
See “Chapter 9: Controlling the X75HD via Web Server Software” for

Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Understanding X75HD Processing Modes
General Information
You cannot identify an input source for every output (there are simply
too many permutations); however, you can identify an input source for
every output group. Output groups include the following:
Note
If you are missing certain option
modules, the corresponding
outputs will not be available.
•
Analog (includes five analog output types: composite, CAV
(Y, B-Y, R-Y), S-video, RGB, AUX-composite)
•
SD (includes both SD1 and DVI/SD)
•
SDI2
•
SV (high-end and low-end streaming video; reserved for future use)
•
HD (with various options like HD-F, HD1, HD2).
These are the X75HD output groupings used for configuration
purposes. Each of these output groups can be individually set to accept
a specific input source. Figure 5-4 describes the general configuration
required for mapping input sources to output groups.
The configuration flow follows these general steps:
1. Select an input source.
2. Map the input source to each set of output groups.
3. Alternatively, use AllOutSelect to map one input
source to all output groups.
Output
groups (5)
• Analog
• SD
• SDI2
• SV
• HD
Physical outputs that form part
of this output group:
• Cmpst, CAV, S-vid, AUX, RGB
• SDI1, DVI (SD)
• SDI2
• SV (low-end streaming)
• HD (HD1, HD2, HD-F)
Input sources to assign to
each output group:
• User
• Composte
• S-Vid
• CAV
• SD1
• SD2
• DV
• HD-F
• HD1
• HD2
Figure 5-4. Mapping Available Input Sources to Output Groups

Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
There is a shortcut control that will map one specified input source to
all of the output groups simultaneously, without individual manual
configuration. This shortcut control is called AllOutSelect and is a
single-source option. Single-source processing means that all five
output groupings are set to accept the same input source. Use this
shortcut if you want to set all the same input sources for all the outputs
instead of going into each of the five output groups and individually
setting the input. In contrast to single-source, multiple-source (or
M-Path) processing connotes that different input sources set to different
output groupings.
Input Video Modes
Note
If you make manual changes to
the input/output paths, Auto
Detect mode will automatically
revert to User Select mode.
Note
Precedence levels that can be
assigned include Highest, High,
Normal, Low, and Lowest.
(For example, if the X75HD
unit detects two input signals, it
will accept an HD signal tagged
Higher over an SD signal that is
tagged Normal.) If all input
types are assigned the same
precedence level, then a default
ordering will kick in. This
default order is reflected
top-down in the menu order.
78
For you to assign input sources to each output group (as described in the
previous section) is considered manual configuration; the Input Video
Mode for manual configuration is User Select. However, if you set the
Input Video Mode to Auto-Detect, the X75HD system will
automatically detect the incoming input signal(s) and then send it to all
output groups.
In the default Auto Detect mode, the X75HD senses the presence of
valid input signals, and then processes them to all outputs. This mode is
a useful redundancy feature: If one input signal disappears, the X75HD
will automatically switch to AllOutSelect control, and will process
whatever input is detected and send it to all outputs. If the X75HD
detects more than one valid input, it will refer to the precedence order
set by you in the Video In Precedence submenu, or it will apply the
default priority order.
A third input video mode is Simulcast Enable. This mode allows you
assign two different input sources to selected output groups for the
purpose of switching between the sources. In this mode, you would
most likely use a GPI control to switch between the selected input
sources at the required time. When a switch in input source is made, the
AllOutSelect control also changes the output mappings accordingly.

Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Configuration Exceptions and Further Information
There are a few exceptions to the input source/output group mapping
process described in the previous sections, including the following:
•
“Mutually Exclusive Inputs”
•
“AllOutSelect Limitations”
•
“Advanced Routing Configurations”
Mutually Exclusive Inputs
Several input settings are mutually exclusive. For example, the back of
the X75HD allows for up to three HD input sources; however, only one
of these inputs sources can be accepted at a time. In this example, all
output groups must be set to the same HD input type, not to three
different input types. If you attempt to map different HD inputs to
various output groups, only the last setting you make will apply.
Previous HD input mappings will change to reflect the last setting.
This scenario of mutually exclusive HD inputs also applies to the
following input types:
•
SDI2 and DV
•
Analog (Composite, CAV, and S-video)
These groupings are not independent inputs. Only one input type in
each of these groups can be selected for each output group.
AllOutSelect Limitations
The AllOutSelect control lists all available input sources. But in cases
where you have manually assigned different input sources to various
output groups, then AllOutSelect will not able to reflect a single input
type. Instead, M-Path control is selected.
When you manually configure any of the M-Path menu output groups,
then AllOutSelect control will change over the M-Path control.
Note that if you change AllOutSelect to a single input type, and you
return to AllOutSelect control, then all manual changes done
previously during M-Path configuration will be overridden.

Advanced Routing Configurations
There are more advanced settings and configuration types outside of the
M-Path menu. Advanced configurations are found within
System Setup > Factory > Advanced Routing. However, Leitch
advises that you do not attempt make advanced configurations prior to
contacting your customer service representative. Any changes made in
the Advance Routing menu will override manual settings made
previously.

Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Configuring Video
Selecting a Video Source
Note
If you press the Video In button
and then manually select a video
source, the X75HD unit reverts
to User-Select mode. Video
modes are found under Routing
Setup > Input Video Mode.
X75HD units are shipped with Auto-Detect video mode as the factory
default setting. This mode sets the X75HD to automatically detect
between composite, S-video, CAV, SD1, SD2, DV, HD-F, HD1, and
HD2 inputs. When video is connected to any of these inputs, the
X75HD automatically selects the applied input video and then sends out
the converted video to all outputs. The Video Input LEDs on the front
panel show the selected video source. For information on certain
exceptions and limitations applied to video source selection, see
“Mutually Exclusive Inputs” on page 79.
For analog video sources, only a single video source can be
automatically detected. Therefore, you must pre-select the desired
analog input video source first in order for auto-detection to work
across the HD/SD/analog inputs.
To change the input signal type, follow these steps:
1. Press Video In on the control panel, (or navigate to the Routing
Setup menu and select AllOutSelect).
All available inputs will display on the control panel screen.
2. Use the control panel knob scroll through the list of input types, and
then press to Enter to select one.
When multiple video sources are connected, the Video In Precedence
setting determines the selection of the input video. For example, if the
X75HD unit detects two input signals, it will accept the signal tagged as
Higher over another lower-precedence signal. Found in the top-level
Routing Setup menu, precedence levels include Highest, High,
Normal, Low, and Lowest. If all input types are assigned the same
precedence level, then the X75HD unit defaults to the SD1 as the
master source and/or a default ordering applies (reflected top-down in
the menu order).
Figure 5-5 on page 82 graphically illustrates a single-source signal
process, where one selected video input is fed to all outputs.

Chapter 10: Configuring Video
Selecting a Video Source
General Information
With control panel video shortcuts, you can select an input (or multiple
inputs) and immediately send it to all video outputs by pressing the
Video In button. The LEDs on the left side of this button indicate which
input is currently selected. The M-Path (multiple inputs) selection
allows any output group to be assigned with the video input sources.
When two or more video sources are selected and mapped to multiple
output groups, the M-Path and corresponding video input source LEDs
will be lit. When the selected input signal is absent, the LED flashes.
Available inputs include the following:
•
Analog Out Sel
•
HD Sel
•
SDI1 Out Sel
•
SDI2 Out Sel
If the Auto Detect feature is enabled when a selected input option is not
installed or detected, the panel accepts the next available input. If Auto
Detect is not enabled, the selected Video In LED flashes.
Procedure
Note
If you press the Video In button
and then manually select a video
source, the X75HD unit reverts
to User-Select mode. Video
modes are found under Routing
Setup > Input Video Mode.
X75HD units are shipped with Auto-Detect video mode as the factory
default setting. This mode sets the X75HD to automatically detect
between analog, SD1, SD2, DV, HD-F, HD1, HD2, Composite, and
S-video inputs. When video is connected to any of these inputs, the
X75HD automatically selects the applied input video and then sends out
the converted video to all outputs. The Video Input LEDs on the front
panel show the selected video source.
For analog video sources, only a single video source can be
automatically detected. Therefore, you must pre-select the desired
analog input video source first in order for auto-detection to work
across the HD/SD/analog inputs.

Chapter 10: Configuring Video
To change the input signal type, follow these steps:
1. Press Video In on the control panel, (or navigate to the Routing
Setup menu and select AllOutSelect).
All available inputs will display on the control panel screen.
2. Use the control panel knob scroll through the list of input types, and
then press to Enter to select one.
When multiple video sources are connected, the Video In Precedence
setting determines the selection of the input video. For example, if the
X75HD unit detects two input signals, it will accept the signal tagged as
Higher over another signal that has been given a lower-precedence.
Found in the top-level Routing Setup menu, precedence levels include
Highest, High, Normal, Low, or Lowest. You can set them to have
different precedent levels, or to be all the same. If all input types are
assigned the same precedence level, then the X75HD unit defaults to
the SD1 as the master source and/or a default ordering applies (reflected
top-down in the menu order).
Figure 10-1 graphically illustrates a single-source signal process, where
one selected video input is fed to all outputs.

Depending upon which input you have selected, the X75 unit
automatically and logically maps all output channels. When two or
more audio input groups are selected, the Audio In Src Select
parameter is automatically set to the User setting.
The User mode includes Audio Setup and Routing submenus. From
these submenus, you can manipulate the input and output audio
channels' routing controls for custom configurations to suit most of
your applications.
To switch between Mono and Stereo audio processing control, press the
Ctrl and Mo/St buttons simultaneously. When Mono control is active,
each button controls an individual gain. When Stereo control is active,
the top and bottom front panel buttons work together (are “married”) so
that either button will adjust the gain in stereo pairs.

AFV (Audio Follows Video) Mode
Note
The AFV mode currently
functions on the SDI1 input.
In AFV mode, each of the selectable video inputs has an audio input
selection linked to it. With this feature enabled, the audio input
selection for the channel automatically changes when the video input is
changed.
You can enable or disable AFV mode through the Audio menu. The
<channel>-AFV-<input> parameters specify the audio input channel
(“<channel>”) to be automatically switched when the SD Out Sel
parameter is switched to a specified input (“<input>”). For example,
the Ch1-AFV-SD1 parameter specifies the audio input for SRC
Channel 1 will be automatically switched when the SD Out Sel
parameter changes to SD1.

Chapter 11: Configuring Audio
When AFV mode is enabled for any single channel, the AFV LED on
the front panel of the unit will be lit.
You can override AFV mode by manually selecting a different audio
input. This will not, however, turn AFV mode off—the next time the
video input selection is changed, the audio will again follow it. AFV
mode can only be disabled through the audio menus.
Figure 11-2 shows the default AFV audio and video assignments. It
illustrates the linked audio channels in AFV mode when the video is
switched from the composite input to SD1 video. When the AFV is
enabled for all channels, the composite input video selection also routes
the analog input channels 1 and 2 to SRC channel 1, and the analog
input channels 3 and 4 to SRC channel 2. When SD1 input video is
selected, all four groups of de-multiplexed audio channels are routed
through eight SRC channels.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Recalling the Unique IP Address for a System
If you cannot remember the set IP address for you system, you have
several options:
•
Navigate to the Setup menu on your local control panel to discover
the IP address of your X75HD system.
•
Connect your RCP-X75 remote panel to the X75HD system, and
navigate to the Setup menu to discover the IP address.
•
If you do not have a local or remote panel with a VFD screen for
viewing your IP address, you can reset the X75HD to its default IP
address and then reconfigure the address using your Web browser
software. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Push the DEF IP DIP switch on the back on the unit to the
down position.
This resets the IP address of the system to its default address.
(System IP: 192.168.100.250; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0;
Gateway: 192.168.100.250.) The Machine Name will not
change.
b. Launch your X75 Web server software, and navigate to the
Setup menu.
c. Set a unique IP address for your system.
d. Return the DEF IP DIP switch to the up position, and then
reboot the system.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Files are Corrupted (Entering Fail-Safe Mode)
If your files become corrupted (for example, during an upload), you can
put the system into Fail-Safe mode by pushing down the F.S. DIP
switch on the back the X75HD unit. All system programs and current
activity will cease.
Note
CCS CoPilot is a
Windows-based software
application provided with your
X75HD system that discovers
devices on your network, and
allows you to configure all
system IP address settings (such
as IP Address, Default Gateway,
Subnet Mask, etc.). The current
release of your X75HD system
only provides limited support
for CoPilot. Contact your Leitch
customer support representative
for more information.
In Fail-Safe mode, all system functions are disabled except for the
ability to upload new software via FTP. To do this, follow these steps to
transfer new files to your system using CoPilot.
1. Ensure your X75HD system is either connected to the network
using a 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable or directly connected to a PC
using a cross-over cable.
2. Push down the F.S. DIP switch on the back of the unit to put the
X75HD system into Fail-Safe mode.
3. Launch CoPilot on the connected (either remotely or directly) PC.
4. Follow the procedure in your CoPilot User Manual or online help
system for “Updating the Software on a CCS Device.”
5. Return the F.S. DIP switch to the up position, and then reboot your
system.

Appendix C: Servicing Instructions
Understanding and Working With Fiber Optics
Input and output modules using optical fibre transmitters and receivers
were developed in response to a growing demand for a flexible method
of transporting very high speed digital video and audio over long
distances.
Fiber optic technology offers many benefits over copper wire systems:
•
Longer distance capability
•
Higher bandwidth
•
Better signal quality
•
Immunity from EM radiation and lightning
•
Advantage of being light weight
•
Ability to be easily upgraded
Basic Principles
Fiber optic technology can be explained using these two concepts:
1. Light is transmitted over optical fiber by reflecting it within a long
“cylindrical mirror.”
2. The mirrored surface occurs at the core cladding interface. By
sending on/off bursts of light within the optical fiber, light can be
guided along varying paths.
See Figure C-1 and Table C-1 on page 182 for further explanation.

General Precautions
Note
The HD-X75 comes with an SC
interconnection housings built
into the module. With this style
of connector, the fiber assembly
and the housing assembly can
only be connected in one way
and with very good
repeatability. The optical fiber
with SC connectors must be
customer supplied.
Please take the following precautions when working with fiber optics:
•
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber.
•
Do not place optical fibers under heavy objects.
•
Transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape
of the optical core; therefore, care must be taken to prevent fiber
compression.
•
Avoid abrupt fiber bending.
A suggested minimum bending radius is 1.2 in. (3 cm). Bending
radii smaller than this can lead to fiber bending loss which will
decrease the maximum attainable link length by decreasing the
available power budget.
•
Make fiber interconnections very secure.
•
Clean fiber every time that it is mated or unmated. (See “Cleaning
Optical Fibers” on page 184.)
As dust particles on the ends of the optical fiber can add up to 1 dB
of loss, it is important to clean them regularly. Larger dust particles
can totally obscure light altogether.
•
Cover a fiber immediately when unmated.
Most fiber manufacturers provide a plastic boot that fits over the
ferrule body for this purpose.
•
Remove dust particles from the housing assembly with a blast of
dry air when using interconnection housing to mate two optical
fibres.

Cleaning Optical Fibers
Required Cleaning Equipment
Optical fibers must always be cleaned before mating and after
unmating. You will need the following items:
•
“Kimwipes” or any lens-grade, lint-free tissue
•
Denatured alcohol
•
Canned dry air
Cleaning Technique
Use the following method to clean the fibers:
1. Fold the tissue twice so that it is four layers thick.
2. Saturate the tissue with alcohol.
Note
Dry air can be used to remove
dust from the connector housing
or the transmitter or receiver
ports.
3. Clean the sides of the connector ferrule.
i.
Place the connector ferrule in the tissue and apply pressure
to the sides of the ferrule.
ii. Rotate the ferrule several times to remove all
contamination from the ferrule sides.
4. Clean the end of the connector ferrule.
i.
Move to the clean part of the tissue.
ii. Be sure it is still saturated with alcohol and that it is still
four layers thick.
iii. Put the tissue against the end of the connector ferrule.
iv. Place your finger against the tissue so that it is directly over
the ferrule.
v. Rotate the end of the connector.
5. Mate the connector immediately. Do not let the connector lie
around before mating.
