Preface

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance

The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the 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 website for more information.) 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.

Figure P-1. RoHS Compliance Emblem

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance

The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC—commonly known as the 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.)

Maximum 6800+ Frame Power Ratings

Note

The power consumption for the ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, ACO6800+ASID, and ACO6800+IDSD 2-slot modules is less than 12 W. The power consumption for the three-slot ACO6800+ISCST module is less than 13 W. Table 2-2 shows the maximum allowable power ratings for 6800+ frames. Note the given maximums before installing any 6800+ modules in your frame.

Due to high levels of heat dissipation, the modules should not be installed in frames without fans. The modules cannot be installed in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series frames.

To maintain proper temperatures, ensure that the front panel is closed at all times, and that the fan module is fully operational.

Chapter 2: Installation

Caution

Note

Installing the Modules

Due to high levels of heat dissipation, the modules must not be installed in frames without fans. The modules cannot be installed in FR6802+DM or 6800/7000 series frames.

These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing b oth front module and back connector , ensure that the back connector is installed first before plugging in the front module. Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before removing the back connector. See the installation and operation manual for your frame for information about installing and operating the frame and its components.

Use the FR6802+RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800+ series frames) for the modules. See the installation and operation manual for your frame for installation instructions.

Before installing this product, read the 6800+ Series Safety Instructions and Standards Manual shipped with every frame installation and operation

manual. This information is also available on our website. The safety manual contains important information about the safe installation and operation of 6800+ series products.

Upgrading Module Firmware

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules. Navigator software version 4.4 or later is required to perform this procedure on ACO6800+ modules. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ or a 6800+ETH module, version 4.1 or higher.

You can upgrade your 6800+ module’s firmware using the Software Upgrade tool in CCS Navigator 4.4 or higher. See your frame manual for more information.

The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. Use the Software Upgrade tool to upgrade module firmware.

If you do not use the correct firmware version, your module may display incorrect menu structures, thumbnail failures, and software upgrade failures.

The module uses high-speed upgrading in ASI mode, and normal field upgrading in SDI mode.

Operating Notes

When you set the control parameters on the ACO6800+, observe the following:

• If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected.

• 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.

• For best results, terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75Ω connector.

Adding a License Key

ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, and ACO6800+IDSD modules can be converted to one another through use of a license key. It is not possible to upgrade to an ACO6800+ISCST or ACO6800+ASID module.

For assistance with a license key , or to purchase a license key, contact your Sales representative. See “Checking the Packing List” on page 12.

To enter a license key, your CCS software must be in Control mode. Follow these steps:

1. Select the ACO6800+ module in the Navigation pane.

2. Right-click, and then select Control to open the module’ s Control window.

3. If it is not already selected, click on the Parameters tab.

4. Select General in the tree view, and then type your license key in the License Key field.

If your license key is valid, the Installed Options field displays the features that are activated on the module.

Throughout this chapter, in the Parameter Navigation sections, the bank and hex switch positions for each configuration setting are listed in square brackets (for example, [0, 2]) beside or below the parameter name.

Activating On-Screen Display

You can use the On-Screen Display (OSD) Monitoring feature to view the current parameter selections on your output display. This feature makes configuring the ACO6800+ using the card-edge controls much easier.

• Rotate the hex switch to “0” again to select a different bank, and then

repeat steps 3 and 4.

The manufacturer recommends that you use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.

In ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, and ACO6800+IDSD modules, OSD is only displayed on Out A. In ACO6800+ISCST, OSD can be displayed on any one of the four outputs. OSD is not available in ASI mode. OSD is not available on ACO6800+ASID modules.

ACO6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 19

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation

Note

OSD will only appear when the option is enabled. The module must be in SDI mode for OSD to appear correctly. On ACO6800+DSD and ACO6800+IDSD modules, the Output Source must be from Group A.

There are two independent sets of d efault values, one for SDI mode and the other for ASI mode. Factory Recall in SDI mode will not affect the parameters in ASI mode; nor will Factory Recall in ASI mode affect the parameters in SDI mode. This does not apply to ACO6800+ASID.

Q-SEE-Compliant Thumbnails

The ACO6800+ASID does not support Q-SEE compliant thumbnails.

20 ACO6800+ Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation

Note

ACO6800+ modules support Q-SEE compliant thumbnails. To use Q-SEE compliant features, the following conditions must be met:

• The modules must be installed in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH module (firmware version 4.0 or higher) or an FR6822

• You must use CCS Navigator version 4.4 or later.

When you open a Control window in CCS Navigator for the 6800+ETH module, all Q-SEE compliant modules provide thumbnails on a Video

Streaming tab. In addition, the ACO6800+ module Control dialog box has a Streaming tab where a thumbnail is displayed and updated at up to three frames

per second. Q-SEE-compliant thumbnails are available for all inputs and outputs, but only

one can be viewed at a time. If thumbnails do not appear correctly, refresh the tab. To ensure that thumbnails

are operating correctly on your system, view the thumbnail in the 6800 module’s Control dialog bo x.

For more information on Q-SEE compliant thumbnails, see the installation and operation manual for your frame.

Relay Bypass

When Group A or Group B Relay Bypass is activated, Out 2 goes blank, and the thumbnail and OSD are not available.

Group A or Group B Relay Bypass can be triggered in the following situations:

• Power failure

•The Group A or Group B GPI In Trigger Level parameter is set to Active High while nothing is connected to the connector (the Relay Bypass is triggered because of the internal pull-up on this port)

•The Group A or Gr oup B GPI In Trigger Level parameter is set to Active Low while the external GPI Input 3 is low

•The Group A or Group B Relay Bypass parameter is set to On.

As soon as the command is accepted (by GPI Input or by Group A or Group B Relay Bypass parameter), the signal IN 1 is bypassed regardless of switching mechanism.

If the Group A or Group B Relay Status parameter is shown to be Off while the relay is actually working, the relay on the card may be damaged.

Passing Dolby Audio (ACO6800+ISCST Modules Only)

To properly process Dolby audio embedded in the video signal, the following requirements must be met:

ACO6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 21

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation

Note

•The Sync Mode Set parameter must be set to Genlock.

• Genlock must be available, with a frame rate that matches the operation standard.

• Input video must be synced to Genlock.

•The SRC (1-8) Bypass parameter must be set to Yes.

If the SRC Bypass Mode parameter is set to Auto, ACO6800+ will enable SRC bypass automatically when Dolby data is detected.

Configuring the Switching Mechanism

Three factors control the output channels on the ACO6800+:

•GPI control

• Alarm severity levels for each input channel

• Parameters that can be manually switched in CCS Navigator or at the card edge

Use the following parameters in the Switch Settings group of parameters to define the switch priority levels:

• Group A or Group B Switch High Priority (the default setting is GPI Input)

GPI Input Control

• Group A or Group B Switch Medium Priority (the default setting is Manual)

• Group A or Group B Switch Low Priority (the default setting is Alarms)

A high priority event overrides a medium priority event, which overrides a low priority event. The three options are mutually exclusive.

As an example, the current settings might start out in these default values:

• Group A Switch High Priority: GPI Input

• Group A Switch Medium Priority: Manual

• Group A Switch Low Priority: Alarms

By changing the Group A Switch Low Priority setting to GPI Input, the module automatically changes the Group A Switch High Priority setting to Alarms. This new setting is exclusive, and will not conflict with the Medium and Low settings.

Table 3-3 indicates what happens when a GPI Input is activated—for example,

pressing a button on a panel—when the switching is not triggered by other higher priority events than GPI Input.

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation

Note

Alarm Control

The combination of the switch priority parameter settings, adjustable alarm switch levels, and SQM smart alarms on the subdevice of the ACO6800+ module provides flexible automatic and manual switch control. In the case of the SQM smart alarms, you can individually adjust the severity and trigger/clear duration for each alarm type (for more information, see page 43, page 54,

page 66, and page 101). The following tables offer two sample scenarios.

By default, all alarms are set to a disabled state. To configure a device to switch using alarms as a trigger, first enable alarms in the sub-device.

Failure of Auto/Manual switchover

If your auto/manual switchover does not work as expected, confirm that the following parameters have been configured correctly:

• Group (A/B) GPI Input_(1-3) should confirm the GPI Input condition.

• Group A or Group B Manual Switch should confirm the expected setting.

• Group A or Group B Switch (High/Medium/Low) Priority should display the sort of logic seen in Table 3-6 and Table 3-8.

• Group A or Group B Alarm Switch Level should confirm the triggered level.

Confirm that the configurable portions of sub-device alarms match your expectations. (This includes Enable/Disable, Alarm Priority, Trigger Time, and Clear Time.)

For ACO6800+ISCST modules, ensure that the Video Standard and Operation Standard parameters have the same setting. The Still Image Mode parameter must be set to Auto, and the Force Free z e an d For ce Black parameters must be set to Off.

Switching to a Still Image (ACO6800+ISCST Modules Only)

In ACO6800+ISCST modules, the Still Image Source parameter determines whether the output is to TSG or trouble slide.

When the Still Image Mode parameter is set to Force, the output is to a pre-defined still image, except when relay bypass is enabled.

When the Still Image Mode parameter is set to Auto, the still image is treated as the module’s third input, which is always in good quality. The switching mechanism includes the still image in its priority list. The order of priority, from highest to lowest, is IN 1, IN 2, and still image.

Table 3-9 shows the relationship between switch mechanism and still image

output when the Still Image Mode parameter is set to Auto.

Logos used by the ACO6800+ISCST must be created or saved in the .mg2 file format, and initially stored on a micro-SD card that is inserted into the slot located at the card edge of the module. The ACO6800+ISCST supports SanDisk, LEXAR, and Kingston 1G and 2G microSD cards.The files must be loaded onto the card directly at your PC workstation. (LogoCreator software is provided as a utility to convert existing files to .mg2).

Figure 3-2. Progression of Logo to On-Air Signal

The files that you use as logos must be selected according to the video output standard set on the ACO6800+ISCST (System > Operation Standard). When the output standard changes on the module, the ACO6800+ISCST automatically loads files that use the selected output standard.

Basic Steps to Installing Logo Files

If you are starting with existing graphics files, these basic steps are as follows:

1. Install the LogoCreator conversion software from the IconSoft Tools CD-ROM.

2. Convert the logos to an .mg2 format.

3. Transfer the files to the microSD card directly from the PC.

Step 1: Install LogoCreator Software

All logos used by the ACO6800+ISCST must either be generated as .mg2 files or converted to that format. A version of LogoCreator (located on the IconSoft Tools CD-ROM) is provided with the manual for this purpose.

For best results, LogoCreator requires a PC with the following system specifications:

• Intel Pentium III processor at 500 MHz or faster

• 512 MB or more of physical memory (RAM)

• Microsoft

If a version of LogoCreator already exists on the PC, ensure that you first uninstall the program and restart the computer. Then, proceed with the steps below:

Windows® XP or Windows 2000

1. Close all other software applications running on the PC and then insert the IconTools CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM tray.

28 ACO6800+ Installation and Operation Manual

2. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM contents, and then

Note

double-click the LogoCreator folder.

3. Double-click Setup.exe.

4. When the IconTools 3 Setup box appears, click Next, and then follow the on-screen installation instructions.

Step 2: Convert Files to the .mg2 Format

When using LogoCreator, you need a source image file for the fill portion of your logo, and a source image file for the key portion. The fill is the picture or image you want to overlay onto the program output. The key is the cutout or shape of the desired logo, which may or may not be the same shape as the fill. Use LogoCreator to set the fill and key images to the same size (resolution) as the standard of the ACO6800+ISCST output. LogoCreator infers the key from the alpha channel in a targa (.tga) file.

After you save the logo, the logo displays in your LogoCreator workspace. To save your logo files using LogoCreator, follow these steps:

1. In LogoCreator, open the Logo Set-Up dialog box (Figure 3-3 below). When you first open LogoCreator, the Logo Set-Up dialog box opens

automatically . If the Logo Set-Up dialog box is closed, select File > New to open the dialog box.

Step 3: Transfer the Logos to the MicroSD Card

When your logos have been created or converted to the .mg2 format, they can be saved on the microSD card. The ACO6800+ISCST references files on the MicroSD card using the DOS 8.3 short filename convention. Longer filenames may be accessed by entering the alternate 8.3 filename. To avoid any confusion, it is preferable to limit all filenames to the 8.3 format, with a maximum of 8 characters before the .mg2 extension.

• The image file must be put in folder named “logos” in the root directory (regardless of uppercase or lowercase).

• The image file must be MG2 format with extended name “mg2” or “MG2”.

• The width and height of mg2 file must be smaller than the supported size of current operation standard (for example, if the current operation standard is 720p, and the video size is 1280*720, if the image size is 720*576, it is acceptable. If it is 1920*1280, it would be refused).

• For best results, the length of file name should be less or equal to 8 letters. (If the length of mg2 file name is larger than 8 characters, a shortened name will display on Navigator.)

• Only the first three valid MG2 files sorted by access time are displayed on Navigator.

• For best results, the original image (before converting to MG2 format) should consist of an even number of pixels and an even number of lines.

• Every time the operation standard or trouble slide background changes, the system reloads the trouble slide.

Generally, larger or more complicated images take longer for the system to load. A complicated image with size of 1920*1280 (the maximum supported size) takes about 7 minutes to finish loading. The trouble slide will not be displayed until loading is finished (it is masked as black during that time).

Off There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. Green There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. Red There is an alarm condition. Flashing Red The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. Yellow The module is undergoing configuration.

If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.

Meaning

If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your modules, the Status LED will light red.

Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications. You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

The following settings can be made for each alarm within the software:

Table 4-5. Alarm Options

Alarm Option Effect

Enable/Disable This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If the alarm is

Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored.

Alarm priority This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported

as major or minor. The range is 1–10. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm.

The ACO6800+DSD modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, the module status LED on the corner of the module lights up if an error is detected. See Figure 5-1 on page 52 for the location of the LED, and Table 5-4 for a description of the LED colors.

Table 5-4. Module Status LED Descriptions

Alarms

LED Color Sequence

Off There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. Green There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. Red There is an alarm condition. Flashing Red The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. Yellow The module is undergoing configuration.

If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.

Meaning

If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your modules, the Status LED will light red.

Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications. You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

The following settings can be made for each alarm within the software:

Table 5-5. Alarm Options

Alarm Option Effect

Enable/Disable This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If the alarm is

Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored.

Alarm priority This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported

as major or minor. The range is 1–10. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm

Trigger (s) This option determines how long an alarm condition must exist (in

seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger duration, then the alarm will not trigger. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 (or 2 hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition exists for any period of time, the alarm will trigger.

Clear (s) Determines the amount of time the alarm condition must be in

abate in order for the alarm to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or 2 hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition ceases for any period of time, the alarm will clear.

Module Status LEDs

The ACO6800+ASID module does not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, the module status LED on the corner of the module lights up if an error is detected. See Figure 7-1 on page 78 for the location of the LED, and Table 7-3 for a description of the LED colors.

Table 7-3. Module Status LED Descriptions

LED Color Sequence

Off There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. Green There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. Red There is an alarm condition. Flashing Red The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. Yellow The module is undergoing configuration.

Not Used

Meaning

If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.

Alarms

If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your modules, the Status LED will light red.

ACO6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 79

Chapter 7: ACO6800+ASID Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms

Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications. You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

The following settings can be made for each alarm within the software:

Table 7-4. Alarm Options

Alarm Option Effect

Enable/Disable This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If the alarm is

Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored.

Alarm priority This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported

as major or minor. The range is 1–10. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm

Trigger (s) This option determines how long an alarm condition must exist (in

seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger duration, then the alarm will not trigger. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 (or 2 hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition exists for any period of time, the alarm will trigger.

Main Device Alarms

Clear (s) Determines the amount of time the alarm condition must be in

abate in order for the alarm to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or 2 hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition ceases for any period of time, the alarm will clear.
