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 takes effect on
July 1, 2006, and it 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
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.

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. Effective 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

Setting Jumpers
The ENC/ENS6800+ module has three jumpers that you need to set:
•J3 (See “Jumper J3 for Local or Remote Control” on page 12)
•J1 (See “Setting Jumper J1 for Genlock Source” on page 13)
•P1 (See “Setting Jumper P1 for Reclocking and IO_DELAY
Output” on page 14)

Jumper J3 for Local or Remote Control
Follow this procedure to set the J3 jumper for either local or remote
Note
You need to configure modules
for local or remote operation
prior to power-up. To change
the configuration, first remove
power from the module, reset
the jumper, and then reapply
power.

1.Locate jumper J1 on the module. See Figure 2-1 on page 12.
2.Place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 if the genlock source is from the
local back connector (“L”) or pins 2 and 3 if the genlock source is
from the frame (“F”). The frame genlock is available only with the

ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual13
Figure 2-3. Jumper J1 Settings for Local or Frame Mode
The genlock source is not only selected by the J1 jumper setting
described above, but by the Reference Input Select parameter setting
you make in Bank 0, rotary switch setting D (see Table 3-3: “Card-Edge
Parameter Options— ENC/ENS6800+ Modules” on page 22).
Parameter setting options include the following:
•Genlock 1 (labeled 525 on the rear module)/ Frame Genlock: If
this setting is chosen, then the genlock source must come from
either the Genlock 1 input of the rear module (labeled 525) or from
Page 28
Chapter 2: Installation
Note
Even though the rear module is
labeled 525 for Genlock 1 and 625 for Genlock 2 either type of
standard can be applied to either
of the inputs. They are not 525
or 625 dependent. However the
same type of genlock format
(NTSC or PAL-B) should never
be applied to both genlock input
sources at the same time.
the FR6802+ frame genlock input. This is determined by the
position of jumper J1 on the ENC6800+ or ENS6800+ module as
shown in Figure 2-3.
•Genlock 2 (labeled 625 on the rear module): If this setting is
chosen, the genlock source will be taken from the Genlock 2 input
of the rear module and is independent of the jumper J1 setting.
•Auto: Varies between Genlock 1/Frame and Genlock 2 genlock.
This is used if the card is expected to auto-switch between an NTSC
or PAL-M reference and a PAL-B reference based on the video
input. In this case one reference input would be applied to the
Genlock 2 input, and the other reference input would be applied to
either Genlock 1 or Frame. Then when the input signal changes
between SD 525 and SD 625, the genlock will automatically switch
to the appropriate genlock source. Remember that jumper J1
determines whether Genlock 1 or Frame is the source of the first
genlock input (see Figure 2-3).
When the genlock source input is valid, the Genlock LED will turn
green. If you are using an ENS6800+ and the Genlock LED never turns
green, ensure that the Frame Sync Mode parameter is not set to Delay.
Setting Jumper P1 for Reclocking and IO_DELAY Output
Follow this procedure to set the P1 jumper to select Reclocked SDI or
IO_DELAY output to a BNC output connector on the back module:
1.Locate jumper P1 on the module. See Figure 2-1 on page 12.
2.Place a jumper on pins 2 and 3 to set the module for SDI RCLK, or

The ENC6800+ does not
have IO_DELAY.

Installing 6800+ Modules
There are two types of modules:
Caution
Before installing your modules,
see the Maximum 6800+ Frame
Power Ratings chart at the
beginning of this chapter.
•Double-slot back connectors
•Front modules
Back connectors for this module come in the double-slot size. Up to ten
front modules can fit in an FR6802+ frame if they are connected to
double-slot back connectors (two spaces are required to accommodate
the extra width of the back connector).
You can install most 6800+ modules in any unused slot without
interfering with other frame functions.
Making Connections
Once you have installed the ENC/ENS6800+ module, you can connect
it to the appropriate input and outputs. See Figure 1-2 on page 6 and
Figure 1-3 on page 7.

without powering down the
frame.
follow these steps:
1.Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left side of the
front panel, and then open it.
2.Grasp the extractor handle on the installed module, and then pull
the module out of its slot using the handle as a lever.
3.Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.
4.Remove the back connector from an FR6800+ frame in this way:
a.Unscrew the top of the corresponding back connector, and tip it
towards you.

Cross-Color Reduction Filter
This section describes the cross-color reduction filters that are available
for the ENS-6804 board. The filter responses and characteristics are
limited to the structure of the custom FIR filter ASIC. These are 12-bit
coefficients with 15-tap folded FIR.
Filter Summary
The implementation of each Cross-Color Reduction filter consists of two
filters: a vertical high pass filter and a horizontal high pass filter. The
frequency response of the vertical HPF is fixed and is
non-programmable, while the horizontal HPF is programmable.
Table A-1 summarizes the selectable horizontal high pass filters. The
values are the approximate bandwidths for the application. Examine the
filter plots for greater detail.

ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting
Overview
Appendix B
The following checklists will help you solve some of the most
commonly seen issues.
It is split into the following two sections:
•“Genlock Issues” on page 48
•“Output Issues” on page 51
For best results, use + Pilot Lite software to check settings and
parameters if housed inside an FR6802+ frame. + Pilot Lite software is
installed on a PC that connects to the 6800+ frame via the serial port
connector at the rear of the frame, and can be downloaded from
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch
connect between the PC and the 6800+ frame.
. Use a null modem RS-232 cable to
ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual47
Page 62
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting
Genlock Issues
If the ENC/ENS6800+ cannot lock to genlock, proceed through the
following checklist:
1.Check that the Reference Input Select parameter is properly set.
Note
There are three choices:
Although the ENC6800+ does
not have a frame synchronizer,
it still uses the Genlock input for
correct color framing on the
composite outputs.
The ENC6800+ cannot be
upgraded to an ENS6800+ in
the field.
•Genlock 1/Frame Genlock - When this setting is chosen, the
genlock source must come from either the Genlock 1 input
(labelled 525) of the back module or from the FR6802+ frame
genlock input. This is determined by the position of jumper J1
on the ENC/ENS6800+ module.
Set to pins 1 and 2 for Genlock 1 input and pins 2 and 3 for
FRAME input, as shown below.
Figure B-1. Genlock Mode Jumper Locations and
Settings
Note
The back module has Genlock 1
labeled 525 and Genlock 2
labeled 625. Despite this
inaccurate labeling, Genlock 1
can accept an NTSC, PAL-M or
PAL-B reference and is not
limited to NTSC only as the
labeling implies. The same is
true for the Genlock 2 input.
48ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual
•Genlock 2 - If this setting is chosen the genlock source will be
taken from the Genlock 2 input (labelled 625) of the back
module and is independent of the jumper‘ setting.
•Auto - If this setting is chosen, the genlock source will vary
between Genlock 1/Frame and Genlock 2 genlock. Use this
setting if the card is expected to auto-switch between an NTSC
or PAL-M reference and a PAL-B reference based on the video
input. In this case an NTSC reference would be applied one
Genlock input and a PAL-B reference applied to the other. Then
when the input signal changes between NTSC and PAL-B, the
genlock will automatically switch to the appropriate genlock
Page 63
Note
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting
source. Remember that the jumper determines whether
Genlock 1 or the Frame is the source of the second genlock
input (see Figure B-1 on page 48).
When the genlock input is valid, the D7 Genlock LED on the card
edge will turn green.
The same type of genlock
format (NTSC, PAL-M, or
PAL-B) should never be applied
to both genlock input sources at
the same time.
Note
Bent pins may also cause
communications issues with
Pilot Lite, Pilot or Navigator.
2.(ENS6800+ only) Check that the Frame Sync Mode parameter is
set to Sync mode. If this parameter is set to Delay, it will not
synchronize the video to the genlock reference.
3.Check that the Genlock Mode parameter is not set to Free Run
mode. If this parameter is set to Free Run, the video will not
synchronize to the genlock reference.
4.Check that the SDI Video Standard parameter is set to the correct
standard for the current video input. This parameter is normally left
in Auto mode where it will automatically switch between 525 and
625 SDI video standards as the input changes. However if this is
forced into 525 or 625, then the genlock input must match the
chosen standard. For example, if 625 mode is selected but an NTSC
reference is present on the genlock input, the unit will not genlock
or synchronize.
5.If the first four items are correct on your module, the next thing to
check is the back module. Follow these steps:
a.Unplug the front module.
b.Unscrew and remove the back module.
ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual49
Page 64
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting
c.Check that the 20 pin spring connector at the bottom of the
back module does not have any bent or pressed in pins. (See
Figure B-2.) Even a slightly depressed or bent pin may cause
genlock issues.
20-pin connector
Figure B-2. Back Module to Front Module Connector
d.If there are bent pins carefully re-position them to their correct
positions.
If this is not possible then the back module can be exchanged
for a new one. Use part number ENC/ENS6800+DR.
6.If the ENC/ENS6800+ can still not be genlocked, attempt doing a
Factory Recall on the module.
50ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual
Page 65
Output Issues
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting
If the SDI output has issues such as no output, unstable output or frozen
output, proceed with the following checklist.
1.Check that the Video Output Standard Set parameter is set
correctly. If a 525 SDI input is present, then the valid output
standard choices are NTSC or PAL -M. If PA L-B is c hos en b ut
NTSC is desired, the module will not pass good video.
2.(ENS6800+ only) - If the video output appears to be frozen, check
that the Freeze Enable parameter is not set to Enable. When this
parameter is set to Enable, the ENS6800+ will freeze the last video
frame or field that was received.
3.(ENS6800+ only) - If the video output appears to be stuck on a test
pattern, check that the Test Signal Enable parameter is not
enabled.
4.If Closed Captioning on Line 21 does not appear to be picked up by
CC decoders or is intermittent, ensure that the Line 21 VBI
parameters are set to Luma only. This bypasses any cross color
artifacts that may occur.
a.First go to the Field Select parameter and select Field 1.
b.Go to the Line 21 VBI parameter and select Luma only.
c.If there is Closed Caption 2 (CC 2) on Field 2 then go back to
the Field Select parameter and choose Field 2 and repeat step b.
If the CC decoder still has problems decoding the closed
captioning, check that there is no setup on Line 21. Go to the Setup Starting Line parameter and set it to 22 so that setup is not added
to Line 21.
5.If the output is still not valid, try doing a Factory Recall.
6.Check the Module Status LED on the card edge. If it is flashing red,
there is a likely hardware or firmware fault. Contact Customer
Service.
If after going through this checklist the ENC6800+ or ENS6800+
module still does not operate as expected, contact customer service for
further assistance. Send an email to service@leitch.com

Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules
Confirm that the following items are not the reason for the
communication failure:
•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.
•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).
•Actual frame ID does not match with 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.
ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual55
•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).
Page 70
Appendix C: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
•A legacy 6800 series product is in the frame. + Pilot Lite cannot
communicate with legacy 6800 series products. They will not be
discovered or controlled by + Pilot Lite, although they can be
installed in the FR6802+ frame and work using card edge controls.
The module must be from the 6800+ product family.
•Check that the back module does not have any bent pinsFollow 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 C-1.
Figure C-1. Back Module to Front Module Connector
This connector should not have any bent or pressed pins. Even
a slightly depresssed 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 for
a new one.
+
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.

56ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual
Page 71
Appendix C: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
If a module is plugged into the frame after a discovery, + Pilot Lite
does 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+ 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 CCS applications 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, and in the right slot?
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. See
“+ Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports ‘Not Ready’” on page 57.
+
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. For + Pilot Lite, an RS-232 null modem cable is
required between the PC and the FR6802+ frame.
ENC/ENS6800+ Installation and Operation Manual57
If the status bar still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or
device, try restarting + Pilot Lite.
Page 72
Appendix C: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
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+XF 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 and
status update messages 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.

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
