Operator’s Safety Summary

WARNING: These instructio ns are for use by qualified personnel only. To redu ce the risk of electric sho ck, do not perform thi s install ation or any servicing unless you are qualifi ed to do so. Refer al l servi cing to qualified service personnel.

Important Safety Instructions

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade (or the third prong) is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• The device’s IEC power connector shall remain readily accessible.

Operator’s Safety Summary

Ensuring Safety

• The unit should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with

liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.

• When the unit is to be permanently cabled, connect the protective ground conductor

before making any other connections.

• Operate built-in units only when they are properly fitted into the system.

• For permanently cabled units without built-in fuses, automatic switches, or similar

protective facilities, the AC supply line must be fitted with fuses rated to the units.

• Before switching on the unit, ensure that the operating voltage set at the unit

matches the line voltage, if appropriate. If a different operating voltage is to be set, use a fuse with the appropriate rating. Refer to the Installation Instructions.

• Units of Protection Class I with an AC supply cable and plug that can be

disconnected must be operated only from a power socket with protective ground contact:

• Do not use an extension cable—it can render the protective ground

connection ineffective.

• Do not intentionally interrupt the protective ground conductor.

• Do not break the protective ground conductor inside or outside the unit or

loosen the protective ground connection; such actions can cause the unit to become electrically hazardous.

• Before opening the unit, isolate it from the AC supply. Then ensure that:

• Adjustments, part replacements, maintenance, and repairs are carried out by

qualified personnel only.

• Safety regulations and rules are observed to prevent accidents.

• Only original parts are used to replace parts relevant to safety (for example,

the power on/off switches, power transformers, and fuses).

• Replaceable fuses can be hazardous when live. Before replacing a fuse, disconnect

the AC power source.

• Use caution when cleaning the equipment; isopropyl alcohol or similar solvents can

damage or remove the labels.

• Observe any additional safety instructions specified in this manual.

Directives and Complian c es

This section provides information concerning Harris Corporation compliance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC and EU Directive 2002/96/EC.

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

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)

In accordance with this EU Directive, all Harris products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Harris equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. RoHS Compliance Symbol

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

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 are required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and must not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may have different deadlines.)

Gamut Display

A constant setback in video production is the difference between the allowable ranges of dissimilar component and composite color spaces. Combinations of values that are within the range of a color-difference component video system produce signal amplitudes outside the ranges when the signal is transcoded to composite or RGB color space.

Composite Gamut

The graticule for the composite gamut vector, as shown in Figure 4-22 and described in Table 4-6, is two concentric circles with other identifiers. When setting the upper

and lower limits, the upper and lower gamut rings represent the values set from the threshold values of the appropriate format. To move the gamut rings, set the ALARMS → VIDEO → GAMUT → PEAK GAMUT UPPER (or LOWER) → THRESHOLD 525/59.94 or THRESHOLD 625/50 selection option. To move the luma bar limits, set the ALARMS → VIDEO → GAMUT → LUM GAMUT UPPER (or LOWER) → THRESHOLD 525/59.94 or THRESHOLD 625/50 selection option. The outer circle (the upper gamut alarm limit) represents the highest allowable amplitude in standard composite units (that is, IRE for NTSC and units for PAL). The inner circle (the lower gamut alarm limit) represents the lowest allowable amplitude. The rings turn red when the alarm is enabled and the values exceed the threshold setting.

The other identifiers are radials that extend at the angle of the designated color. These six lines follow the same displacement as the vector display. Note that since the PAL display is derived solely from component information, there are not two phases for PAL signals. The +V phase is used (making the vectors look similar to NTSC).

(which are in mV) in a polar format to represent color information. The rings turn red when the alarm is enabled and the values exceed the threshold setting.

Each R, G, and B pixel is plotted using amplitude and phase. The amplitude is derived from the R, G, B component. The phase is derived from the CB CR information of the digital signal. The pixels can be plotted as a single color or as each component color

(see Table 5-8 on page 67). Unlike the composite Gamut vector, which plots two

points per pixel, the RGB Gamut vector plots three points. Also, signals with no color content are displayed on a separate bar graph labeled Mono.

The RGB graticule is nearly identical to the composite graticule. The only differences are

• Amplitudes are displayed in mV rather than IRE or UNITS.

• The radials representing color vectors are 60° apart since they are displayed in a

component color space.

• Mono bar graph is for monochrome.

NOTE: There is an alarm persistence of two seconds associated with any alarm indication. After an alarm

has cleared, two seconds will pass before the gamut indicator returns to normal.

Section 4 ♦ Operating the CM N-4 1

When a signal is processed, there is the potential for it to be delayed with respect to a reference signal. The timing display is used to indicate when a video input is deviating in time from the reference. See “Reference” on page 82 for more information on reference selection.

The reference input indicator (REF), located in the center of the timing display, indicates the reference-timing point for the type of signal being monitored. REF is green when the line and µs (microseconds) cursors are all aligned. As the signal falls out of timing alignment, the line and the µs cursors change color when it moves from REF. When this occurs, the REF turns red. Each hash mark represents a vertical line (top scale) and 1µs (bottom scale). Once the line or µs cursors are at the edge of the display, arrows will appear to the right or left of the timing line.

NOTE: The Timing Display alignment accuracy is ±280 ns.

Things to Remember When Using the Timing Display

1. The Timing Display measures the elapsed time between the vertical syncs of two

inputs. The elapsed time is expressed in units of microseconds and lines of the selected input video, not of the reference.

2. When referencing a standard definition video input to an external tri-level reference

input, the line number indication in the timing display represents standard definition video lines. If the relative timing is adjusted in high definition video lines, it may take an adjustment of two or more lines before the line number changes in the timing display. This is due to the high definition video lines, which are shorter than the standard definition video lines represented by the timing display.

3. When referencing a high definition video input to an external composite (BB)

reference input, the line number indication in the timing display represents high definition video lines. If the relative timing is adjusted in standard definition video lines, a single video line adjustment will cause a change of two or more lines in the timing display. This is due to the standard definition video lines, which are longer than the high definition video lines represented by the timing display.

4. The information of the Timing Display should not be used when captured SDI

freeze data is displayed.
