1.1 Product Overview

The HDE-200 is a Program Exporter for HD

Radio

the necessary information to broadcast one or

more HD Radio

existing analog FM broadcast spectrum. The HDE-

200 adds the signal encoding required by an HD

Radio Exciter. In addition, it encodes Program Ser-

vice Data (PSD), Advanced Application Services

(AAS) data, and secondary channel audio supplied

from an HD Radio Importer, like the Harris HDI-

100 or HDI-200 Program Importer.

The HDE-200 outputs an Ethernet data stream,

termed the E2X transport stream, to feed an HD

Radio Exciter like the Harris HDX-100 Exciter.

The HDE-200 can be located in a studio or in a

terminal room—as opposed to having to be co-

located at the transmitter, as in earlier generations

HDE-200’s capabilities, read through

compatible with Digital STLs, DHCP-controlled

local area networks, and even the public Internet.

The HDE-200 is an

means that the iBiquity

data encoding algorithms, and the required diver-

sity delay, are all processed within the unit. No

external PC is required for daily operation, as in

previous generations of Program Exporters.

This third-generation HD Radio Program Ex-

porter provides a powerful hardware/software

platform that offers improved reliability and ease-

of-use—at a significantly lower cost, over first and

second generation products. This is accomplished

by “embedding” a microcontroller within the Ex-

porter—eliminating the cost of an external Linux

x86 PC and its custom hardware features.

Incorporating the control architecture within the

HDE-200 allows the diversity delay to remain

intact—even if a microcontroller reboot is

required, something no previous design could do.

1.1.1 HDE-200 FEATURES

The HDE-200, once configured for your appli-

cation, has just a few local controls (the front panel

has seven control buttons plus indicator LEDs,

two 10-Character displays, and a headphone jack

for confidence monitoring). Setup and other moni-

toring and control functions are done by using

the supplied HDE-200 Exporter Control Center

software (ECC app).

The hardware controls on the front panel do

allow the incoming or output audio to be moni-

tored via a level meter and front panel headphone

jack. Three buttons (Delay Select, Ramp Up, Ramp

, which

Revision F • 3/12

Page 8

1 Product Overview

Down) select which delay (Diversity Delay or the

optional Profanity Delay) is being monitored and

allow basic Ramp Up/Down control. The 10-Char-

acter displays show the status of the delay. The

Ramp Up/Down LEDs indicate whether the de-

lays are at zero, are ramping, or are complete.

More extensive control over the delays is done

through the ECC app. A hardware studio remote

panel can also be used to control such Profanity

Delay features as Dump, Rebuild, and Ramp to

Zero, and Diversity Delay control of Ballpark

mode, which ramps the Diversity Delay out so that

the analog broadcast of a live event (like a sport-

ing event) can be done with minimal delay.

The front panel Monitor Select button allows

any audio input or output to be monitored on the

front panel level display, the front panel headphone

jack, and the rear panel

Ref Mon Out

connection,

which can feed a pair of digital monitor speakers.

A Fault LED on the front panel blinks if a GPS

lock or audio fault occurs. Pressing the Fault but-

ton brings up a Fault display overriding the nor-

mal monitor level display.

There are two AES digital audio inputs on the

HDE-200 (

Main Delay In

The

and

MPS Audio In

put is typically used for the

audio going to the analog carrier, although it can

also be the set as the source for the HD Radio

main channel when both signals use common air

chain processing. When the HD Radio main chan-

nel and analog broadcast use different signal pro-

cessing, then the HD Radio main channel audio

is connected to the Main Program Signal input

(

MPS Audio In

Main Delay Out

, which feeds the analog trans-

mission chain, goes through an adjustable Diver-

sity Delay to compensate for the HD Radio signal

processing time. This is so an HD Radio receiver

will smoothly blend between the analog carrier

and digital main channel without any time-shift-

ing artifacts. The ECC app is used to select which

input signal feeds this output and to set the length

of the Diversity Delay to keep the analog and digi-

tal broadcast audio outputs aligned in time.

A digital monitor output (

Ref Mon Out

) can feed

a local digital audio monitor. Its source is set by

the front panel Monitor Select button, between

MPS in, MPS out, Main Delay In, and Main De-

lay out.

The 320 kbps E2X transport stream is output

on the three Ethernet connections built into the

HDE-200. These allow an HD Radio Exciter or

Digital STL, plus an HD Radio

Importer and an

admin computer, to directly connect to the HDE-

200 so a separate LAN switch is not required,

although the HDE-200 can interconnect though

any standard LAN switch, if required.

1.1.2 HDE-200 UPGRADES

Three upgrade kits are available: Profanity De-

lay (HARHDE200-PROFAN); Arbitron PPM En-

coder Interface (HARHDE200-PPM); and a com-

bined Profanity/PPM Encoder Interface

(HARHDE200-PROF/PPM).

The Profanity Delay kits add a second delay

function to the HDE-200—with remote studio

logic control via a parallel logic I/O port or via

on-screen commands, so that a separate profanity

delay controller is not required. It has variable

ramp times and allows delays of up to 35 seconds

to be set using the HDE-200 ECC app.

The Arbitron PPM Encoder Interface allows two

PPM Encoders to be used to separately add in

the Personal People Meter encoding to the main

HD Radio and analog carrier audio streams. These

are both sent post Diversity Delay so that ramp-

ing in/out does not affect the PPM Encoding. The

PPM Encoders connect to the HDE-200 using a

standard XLR interface cable (supplied with the

upgrade kit) that plugs into the Post Delay Loop

I-O connector.

1.3 Warranty

Equipment Warranty Claims and Procedures

The Standard Equipment Warranty Period is

15 months from date of equipment shipment from a Harris facility . The Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the Standard Equipment Warranty will be, at Harris’ sole discretion and option, repair or replacement of the defective Product. Components that Customer claims to be defective must be made available to Harris for inspection and evaluation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Harris, Customs clearance for all replacement parts under the warranty or otherwise will be Customer’s sole responsibility. To be entitled to rights under the Standard Equipment Warranty, the Customer must notify Harris in writing within thirty (30) days after discovering a suspected defect in any Product or Services, but in any event prior to the expiration of the applicable Standard Warranty P eriod. Notice

to a Harris dealer, system integrator, sales representative or other third party is not notice to Harris. Following its receipt of any such

Customer notice, Harris will determine whether the reported problem is covered by this Standard Equipment Warranty. If Harris determines that the problem is covered, Harris will authorize repair or replacement of the defective Product, as deemed appropriate by Harris in its sole discretion. For clarification purposes, any technical support provided by Harris will be for the sole purpose of fulfilling Harris’ warranty obligations. If Harris determines that Customer is using technical support as a substitute for training of Customer’s personnel, then such technical support will be subject to additional charges at Harris’ prevailing unit rate for such services.

2. Before shipping any Product to Harris, the Customer must obtain a written Return Authorization from Harris, and provide any proof of warranty eligibility requested by Harris. Any Product received by Harris without a Return Authorization may, at Harris’ option, be returned to the Customer collect. Once a Return Authorization is obtained, the Customer is responsible for packing and shipping the Product, to which its warranty claim relates, to a service facility designated by Harris, with all shipping charges prepaid by the Customer, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Return Authorization. Harris will pay for return of the repaired or replacement Product to the Customer if the repaired or replacement Product is shipped to a designated Harris service facility. Harris will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Equipment (or part thereof) from the geographical region of Customer’s site, so as to minimize freight and duty. Harris bears the risk of loss or damage while the Equipment (or part thereof) is in transit to Customer from the Harris Service Center, and Customer bears the risk of loss or damage while the Equipment (or part thereof) is in transit back to the Harris Service Center.

3. Upon receipt of replacement Equipment (or a part thereof), Customer has thirty (30) days to tender the defective Equipment (or part thereof) to the return carrier for shipment to the service center designated by Harris. If Customer does not timely return the defective Equipment (or a part thereof), Harris shall invoice Customer for the list price of such Equipment (or part thereof), plus applicable shipping. Such failure to return the Equipment (or part thereof) may, in Harris’ discretion, be grounds for termination of the Warranty and/or suspension of any future advance exchange privileges until such outstanding defective Equipment has been returned. Under the Standard Equipment Warrant y Harris will provide Customer with new, rebuilt, refurbished or alternate Equipment (or a part thereof) of equal or improved quality, as the exchange Equipment (or part thereof) to replace eligible defective Equipment (or part thereof). Any alternate Equipment (or part thereof) will meet or exceed the specifications of the replaced Equipment (or part thereof). Rebuilt or refurbished Equipment may bear cosmetic blemishes that do not affect performance. Unless otherwise specified by Harris in writing, repaired or replaced Equipment (or parts thereof) are covered only for the remainder of the term of the applicable Standard Equipment Warranty. All defective Equipment (or parts thereof) replaced by Harris become the property of Harris. Harris has no obligation to (i) service, exchange or otherwise replace any Equipment (or part thereof) that has been damaged, modified, abused, misused or overused as determined by Harris or has been used with non-Harris supplies or products that have caused damage or malfunction; (ii) paint, refinish, refurbish, restore or exchange any Equipment (or part thereof) with cosmetic blemishes; (iii) service, exchange or otherwise replace any Equipment (or part thereof) if the same would interfere with, impede or be redundant with normal or scheduled maintenance of such Equipment (or part thereof); (iv) service, exchange or otherwise replace any Equipment (or part thereof) that is within sixty (60) days of the end of its production life; or (v) provide any application software support or service involving application hardware or replace any accessories.

Hardware

The HDE-200 can be mounted in a studio,

terminal room, or transmitter facility. It requires one

rack unit (1RU) of space. No special venting require-

ments are required and low power equipment can

be mounted directly above and below the unit.

2.1 Installation Overview

All HDE-200 signal and power connections are

made on the rear panel. There are no internal

adjustments on the HDE-200, but there are op-

tional upgrade kits that require removing the top

cover for installation. We recommend installing any

upgrade kit (Profanity Delay and/or Arbitron

PPM Encoder Interface) before the HDE-200 is

rack mounted. Upgrade kit installation instruc-

tions are presented on page 2-3.

2.1.1 AUDIO CONNECTIONS

There are four AES-3 balanced digital audio

connections using XLR-type connectors. All con-

form to standard AES-3 (AES/EBU) digital wir-

ing practices (3 volt signals, 110 ohm, balanced

lines) and levels (-20 dBFS corresponds to 0 VU

on the on-screen metering). For best results use

110 ohm balanced wiring suitable for digital au-

dio signals on these four connections.

Note that unbalanced 75 ohm S/PDIF digital

audio signals can be connected to the AES inputs.

See page 2-6 for connection details.

The HDE-200 has two audio inputs: the Main

Program Service input (

the audio for the HD Radio main channel; and

Main Delay In

the analog broadcast carrier. If the HD Radio main

channel and analog carrier will use the same sig-

nal, then connect to the

The HDE-200 draws about 30 watts from a

100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz outlet. An IEC power

cord, terminating in a Type B plug (for the USA,

Canada and Japan) is included with the HDE-200.

The HDE-200 is designed to be rack mounted

using four rack screws.

2.1.2 CONNECTION SUMMARY

A summary of the HDE-200’s audio, network-

ing, and logic connections is shown below. In ad-

dition to the four AES audio connectors there are:

a loop-thru connector for interfacing two Arbitron

PPM Encoders; three RJ45 Ethernet ports; a USB

2.0 host port; a Remote Logic I-O connector; a

GPS antenna input; and clock outputs used when

an HD Radio Importer and HD Radio Exciter are

co-located with the HDE-200.

There is no dedicated output connector for the

HD Radio main channel signal since it consists of

a 320 kbps data stream (for FM broadcast) which

is routed to the HD Radio Exciter, either directly

or through a digital STL, using UDP or TCP/IP,

though one of the Ethernet ports on the HDE-

200. Three ports are supplied so an HD Radio

Importer, an HD Radio Exciter (or digital STL),

and an admin computer can directly connect to

the HDE-200.

The HDE-200 can, alternately, connect through

a standard LAN switch in order to feed the data

stream to the STL or HD Radio Exciter.

2 Hardware Installation

NOTE: The HDE-200 uses two IP

addresses, one for the CPU (default:

10.10.10.10), the other for the iBiq-

uity HD Radio DSP board (default:

10.10.10.22). Do not connect any

CAT-5 cables to the HDE-200’s three

Ethernet ports until after the IP ad-

dresses and other network settings are

configured. This can be done is two

ways: by following the procedure in

the Software chapter (page 3-6), or by

running the ECC app on a host com-

puter with its IP address set to the

10.10.10.x subnet in order to connect

to the Exporter.

If the subnet of the Exporter is

changed from the default, then the

Host Subnet must also be changed.

For most installations it will probably

be easier to use the HDE-200 configu-

ration method presented in the Soft-

ware chapter.

2.2 Optional Upgrade Kits

Three upgrade kits are available to expand the

HDE-200 functionality: a Profanity Delay Up-

grade (HARHDE200-PROFAN) adds the profan-

ity delay option so that a separate profanity delay

and controller are not required; an Arbitron PPM

Encoder Interface (HARHDE200-PPM) activates

the rear panel Loop Thru connection to interface

two Arbitron PPM Encoders (one for the analog

channel, the other for the HD Radio main chan-

nel); and a combined upgrade (HARHDE200-

PROF/PPM) which adds the Profanity Delay and

activates the Arbitron PPM Encoder interface.

The Profanity Delay adds a second delay func-

tion to the HDE-200—with remote studio logic

control via the Remote I-O Logic connector or via

on-screen commands, so that a separate profanity

delay controller is not required. It has variable

HARRIS CORPORATION

ramp times and allows profanity delays of up to

35 seconds to be set through the ECC app. This

delay is completely separate from—and does not

affect, the Diversity Delay built into the HDE-200.

The Arbitron PPM Encoder Interface connects

two PPM Encoders to add the People Meter sig-

nals to the main HD and analog carrier audio

streams. These are post processing and Diversity

Delay so that ramping the Diversity Delay in or

out does not affect the PPM Encoding.

The PPM Encoders connect to the HDE-200

using XLR interface cables, included in the up-

grade kit, which plug into the

connector. The six foot long cables plug

People Meter Encoder Interface Cable

For signal shielding, connect the digital audio

cable shields at both the HDE-200 and the inter-

connecting equipment ends when all system com-

ponents share a common ground potential and use

isolated ground AC outlets tied to the main tech-

nical ground.

When isolated ground AC outlets are not avail-

able, connect cable shields at the HDE-200 end

only. Do not connect the shields at the peripheral

equipment end. Ensure that all peripheral equip-

ment has a clean ground, either through their

power cords or through separate ground wires tied

to the facility’s technical ground.

GROUNDING NOTE: The power

supply’s AC mains safety or “U”

ground ties to the chassis. A rear

panel screw can be used for a sepa-

rate ground wire to technical ground.

AUDIO GROUND NOISES: Buzz

pickup is generally electrostatic—

capacitive coupling between audio

lines and AC power lines or logic and

display cabling. To avoid audio

ground noises, separate audio wires,

as much as possible, from AC power

lines and logic/display cabling.

2.3 HDE-200 Connections

How the HDE-200 is physically connected with

peripheral devices depends upon where the HDE-

200 is installed (a studio, the TOC, or transmitter

room) and what peripherals are connected, so all

connections may not be used.

2.3.1 GROUNDING & SHIELDING

With the HDE-200 rack mounted, the broad-

cast facility’s technical ground wire can connect

to the chassis ground screw provided on the rear

panel near the power supply.

HARRIS CORPORATION

2.3.2 GPS ANTENNA CONNECTION

The HDE-200 uses the GPS System to ensure

the time-accuracy of its internal 44.1 kHz sample

clock and HD Radio data stream. The included

(or equivalent) GPS antenna must be connected

and must have sufficient sky exposure to lock onto

the GPS satellites in order to meet operational

specifications. In addition, the HD Radio Exciter

must also be locked to the GPS System.

When the HDE-200 is co-located with the HD

Radio Exciter its 10 MHz clock output can be

used to sync the two products together. When the

strongly recom-

Under some conditions a GPS reference at the

Exciter may not be essential. Exporter Reference

mode is used for this implementation. Ethernet

performance can have great variability, conse-

quently this method may not be sufficiently reli-

able. The packet jitter performance, or perfor-

mance of your particular Ethernet connection to

the Exciter, will determine the reliability of Ex-

porter Reference operations. Please consult your

Exciter’s documentation for more information.

A Trimble Bullet III GPS antenna, with type-F

connector, is supplied with the HDE-200. Up to

75 feet of customer-supplied RG-58 (50 ohm coax)

or RG-59 (75-ohm coax) cable can connect it to

the

GPS Antenna

input. The GPS input uses a

type-F connector for easy installation.

An existing GPS antenna, like the Panasonic

VIC-100 supplied with other Harris products, can

alternately be used. An existing VIC-100 cable

would have to use a TNC-to-F adapter or a type-F

connector would have to be crimped onto the cable

in order to connect it to the HDE-200.

Other GPS antennas may work with the HDE-

200, but they must use +5 VDC for power (many

GPS antennas use +3.3 VDC). Their gain specifi-

cations must at least equal the Bullet III antenna.

When a GPS antenna is powered by another

device, an in-line DC-block or a DC-blocking power

divider should be used to connect the antenna

cable to the HDE-200’s GPS input. Note that the

+5 volt supply for the GPS antenna is only cur-

rent protected against momentary shorts.

NOTE: If the HDE-200 is not locked

onto the GPS satellites a GPS Unlock,

an ECC app alarm, and a remote logic

status tally (

Critical Fault

) are acti-

vated until GPS lock is obtained.

2.3.3 AUDIO CONNECTIONS

All audio wiring to/from the HDE-200 is AES/

EBU digital (AES-3). Each audio connector

(3-pin, XLR-type) uses this pinout:

AES/EBU Digital Inputs & Outputs

Pin Signal Description

1 Shield (connects directly to the chassis) 2 High (+), typically a red or blue wire 3 Low (-), typically a black or white wire

The digital inputs (

Audio In

) accept AES-3 compatible signals using

sample rates from 32 to 96 kHz. Each 110 ohm

input is transformer coupled, which feeds a sample

rate converter that converts the signal to the HDE-

200’s internal sample rate of 44.1 kHz.

For most applications, connect the processed

audio source for the analog broadcast to the

Delay In

connector. Connect the processed audio

source for the HD Radio main channel to the

Audio In

connector.

If there is only one processed audio signal to

feed both the analog and digital Exciters, connect

that signal to

the Fostex 6301D. It can alternately be used as a

source for a balanced AES-3, 44.1 kHz master

sample clock signal.

Pins 2 and 3 of each digital input and output

are fully protected against static (ESD), overvolt-

age spikes (EFT), and lightning surges. Pin 1 and

the XLR shell are tied directly to chassis ground.

If the HDE-200 power is lost, the

signal is relay switched to directly connect to

the

Main Delay Out

connector for uninterrupted

operation.

When power is applied, it takes about one

minute for the HDE-200 to begin transmitting the

HD Radio data stream again. The

Main Delay Out

signal will automatically start to rebuild its Diver-

sity Delay about 30 seconds after power is ap-

plied. The method used to rebuild the Diversity

Delay is set using the ECC app’s System > Other

Controls pop-up window.

All digital outputs (

, the HD Radio data stream and the two

outputs) use a 44.1 kHz sample rate

Post

that is time-synchronized using the GPS System

clock signals. The HDE-200 outputs a 24-bit word,

which is using the 16 most significant bits.

2.3.5 S/PDIF CONNECTIONS

Digital devices with S/PDIF unbalanced out-

puts can connect to an HDE-200 input by tying

pins 1 and 3 together to unbalanced the input.

When a longer cable (beyond about fifteen feet)

is used, a 249 ohm terminating resistor may be

required to impedance match the S/PDIF cable

(which is typically 75-ohm coax cable) to the 110

ohm input. For shorter cables (under about fif-

teen feet), the terminating resistor is typically not

required. Solder the resistor onto the male XLR

terminals, per the following illustration.

2.3.4 HDE-200 SAMPLE & BIT RATE

The HDE-200 uses a 44.1 kHz sample rate for

internal signal processing. The sample clock is

synchronized with a time-based signal obtained

from an internal GPS receiver. This ensures

sample-accurate synchronization with the HD

Radio Exciter.

An unbalanced-to-balanced line transformer can

alternately be used to interface a S/PDIF signal

to an AES-3 input.

To connect an HDE-200 output to an S/PDIF

input requires a voltage divider be used to lower

the AES-3 signal level to a level the S/PDIF input

can handle (shown in the diagram on the next

page).

Note: Some S/PDIF devices may not

2.3.6 USING A STUDIO REMOTE PANEL

A 44-pin D-Sub connector (

allows remote control and delay status indication

for the HDE-200. It’s typically wired to a

studio-mounted remote panel like the six-button

Harris Control Panel (Harris p/n PRE99-1212).

Remote I-O Logic

The

shown on page 2-8, is divided into three main sec-

tions: Diversity Delay; Profanity Delay; and Other

controls and tallies/status indicators. Each

section’s inputs and outputs are separately enabled

by jumpering pins on the panel to +5 VDC or Logic

Ground, for most applications.

All logic connections (see the signal summary

on this page) are opto-isolated through using opto-

couplers on the inputs and solid-state “dry-con-

tact relays” on the outputs.

To maintain complete isolation, do not use the

+5 VDC Logic Supply or the Logic Ground pins

when connecting the

to active peripheral devices. Power and ground

should be sourced from the peripheral device.

The +5 VDC Logic Supply and Logic Ground

connections are intended for use with a studio

remote control panel only.

Remote I-O Logic Signal Summary

Logic Inputs

Each input section must be enabled by

jumpering its Enable pin to a + voltage source

like +5 VDC (logic signals from +5 to +40 volts

can be used). Logic inputs are activated by pull-

ing the input pin low.

When a studio remote panel is connected, the

enable pins are jumpered to +5 VDC Logic Sup-

ply pins. Likewise, the remote panel switches are

typically commoned on the panel, which is tied to

a Logic Ground pin in order to generate the low

logic. This is shown in the Using a Studio Remote

Panel with the HDE-200 illustration on page 2-9.

Logic Outputs

Each logic output section has its own Tally Com-

mon connection that can connect to either a + volt-

age or to ground, depending upon the application.

The logic outputs (tallies) typical drive LEDs

in a studio remote panel. One end of all of the

status LEDs on the studio panel are typically

commoned together to connect to the +5 VDC

mon pins are jumpered to the +5 VDC Logic Sup-

ply pins so that an active high output turns on the

status LEDs.

Regardless of how the solid-state relays are con-

nected, they can switch up to 60 volts, AC or DC,

and carry up to 350 mA of current. Again, if the

tally outputs are driving an active peripheral de-

vice, the Tally Common and Tally output pins

should only connect to that device. There should

be no connection made to any +5 VDC Logic Sup-

ply or Logic Ground pin.

Using the Remote I/O Logic Connection

The

Remote I-O Logic

interface is enabled or

disabled in the ECC app (for usage details see the

Software and User chapters). When disabled, all

inputs and outputs are disconnected. The default

setting is enabled.

In most cases, a studio remote panel is used in

conjunction with the Profanity Delay upgrade

option to give the board operator control over the

Profanity Delay.

NOTE: To use the Profanity Delay

controls/tallies, a Profanity Delay

Upgrade Option must be installed.

Ramp Complete tally can be used for a studio in-

dication that the Diversity Delay is active.

A Ballpark mode switch and tally can also be

used in the studio to give local control over tem-

porarily ramping the Diversity Delay to zero so

that live events that are being simulcast (like a

football game) can be delivered in real time to the

analog broadcast chain. This control also typically

sets the HD Radio blend feature to off.

As shown above, the Harris PRE99-1212 Six

and control of the Ballpark Mode and the optional

Profanity Delay, as well as show the status of a

critical failure alarm and the Diversity Delay.

2.3.9 NETWORK CONNECTIONS

The HDE-200 does not require that a computer

be networked with it at all times, but one is re-

quired to set up the HDE-200’s network settings,

the Diversity Delay and Profanity delay settings

and the other HDE-200 operational settings.

The admin computer can be any laptop or desk-

top computer with an Ethernet port, running

Windows

dows 7 Pro, and the HDE-200 Exporter Control

Center (ECC app). It can directly connect to any

of the three Ethernet ports on the HDE-200 for

complete security. The other two ports can be used

to connect the HD Radio Exciter and an HD

Radio Importer.

Any of the HDE-200 Ethernet ports can alter-

nately be connected into a facility LAN in order

to use an engineering department computer as the

admin computer.

XP (SP2 or later), Vista Pro, or Win-

HDE-200 Network and USB Connections

Once the HDE-200’s network settings have been

changed from the default settings, the admin com-

puter can be networked with the HDE-200 and

the ECC app used to set the various HDE-200

configurations directly over the network. These set-

tings are then maintained in the HDE-200 using

flash memory.

Note: The HDE-200’s network set-

tings must be set before it is connected

into the facility’s network. This is done

either directly from the ECC app or

by using a USB flash drive (the flash

drive supplied with the HDE-200 can

be used for this purpose). The flash

drive plugs into the rear USB port on

the HDE-200 to first capture the cur-

rent settings and to then upload new

configuration settings by resetting the

HDE-200. Refer to the

Software

ter for network configuration details.

If security is enabled in the ECC app, there are

five security levels that allow varying levels of ac-

cess and control over the ECC app and any net-

worked HDE-200 Exporters.

Four User Groups are added to the Windows

operating system when the ECC app is installed.

The various user group members are assigned us-

ing the standard Windows Manage Local Users

and Groups function.

The four User Groups, summarized in the table

below, allow specific program access and control

to be assigned to each ECC user using your

facility’s computer login names and passwords.

3.1 ECC App Overview

The ECC app has two main functions: to con-

figure HDE-200 Exporter operational parameters;

and to allow multiple users to remotely monitor

and/or control one or more HDE-200 Exporters.

The ECC app can be run concurrently on any num-

ber of computers on your network, if desired.

NOTE: ECC app security is NOT

turned on during installation (for easy

If someone logs into a computer and starts the

ECC app, but is not a member of any of the groups,

then that person is a No Credentials user with lim-

ited control over the ECC app and no control over

any HDE-200. Here is a summary of the control

functionality for the four HDE-200 User Groups

and a non-credentialed user:

3-1

Revision F • 3/12

Page 24

3 Control Center Software

A No Credentials user is anyone who logs into

a computer with the ECC app but is not a mem-

ber of any ECC User Group. If they open the ECC

app the standard HDE-200 monitor screen can

be viewed. They can also change which HDE-200

is being monitoring and select between pre- and

post-delay metering, but most other menu items

are grayed out.

A Censor is one step above a No Credentials

user: they have the same basic signal level moni-

toring and selection abilities and most menu items

are grayed out. The difference: a Censor, typically

assigned to show producers when the optional Pro-

fanity Delay feature is active, have control of the

Profanity Delay dump button.

A User has the same privileges as a Censor but

also has basic control over the Diversity Delay (the

Ramp Up/Down buttons are active). If the Pro-

fanity Delay is installed, a User also has control

over Dump, Ramp to Zero, and Rebuild. This user

group is for nontechnical station personnel like

board operators.

An Engineer has almost full ECC app access,

and hence, can change most HDE-200 operating

parameters. Anything but network settings can be

adjusted, saved, and then uploaded to the HDE-

200. This user (along with a Commissioner) can

also upgrade the operating system on the HDE-

200 or the ECC app itself. This access level should

be limited to the engineering staff with direct re-

sponsibilities for the HDE-200 Exporters.

A Commissioner is the super user (like a com-

puter administrator). They have full access to all

ECC app features including the ability to change

the HDE-200 network settings. This setting is for

the chief engineer and for IT techs or system in-

stallers that need to change network settings (IP

address, subnet, etc.) on the HDE-200 Exporters.

The table illustrates the specific control permis-

sions for the four HDE-200 User Groups and the

No Credentials user. Note that you do not have to

set up and use these User Groups when the ECC

app is being run under the control of the engi-

neering staff on a secure administration PC.

Again, these User Groups are not activated in

the ECC app until the Enable Security button, in

the

System

Preferences

pop-up window, is

clicked. At that time the User Groups are acti-

vated to allow different people, with different lev-

els of permission, to alternately use the same ECC

app on any networked computer.

HDE-200 User Access Summary

When a user logs into Windows and launches

the ECC app, his User Group credentials (or lack

thereof) define which functions can be performed

in the ECC app, as outlined above.

NOTE: If multiple users access a com-

puter running the ECC app, always

close the ECC app (and the Logger

utility if it is running) before logging

off the computer. If this is not done, a

port error will be shown when another

user opens the ECC app, and security

settings, if active will be compromised.

3.2 Installing the ECC App

The ECC app is supplied on a USB 2.0 flash

drive (Harris p/n 7320514000-1), along with

other administration apps and PDF files.

The illustrations used in the following instruc-

tion show WinXP screens. When the ECC app is

installed on a Windows 7 computer, see the Har-

ris App Note AN10-02 ECC & Windows 7 (in-

cluded as Appendix A) for installation tips per-

taining specifically to Windows 7.

1. Locate the HDE-200 installation file on the

USB flash drive (F:\Software_Install_Pkg\

3.2.1 USER GROUP SETUP

The ECC app automatically creates four Win-

dows User Groups to allow different users to have

varying access to the ECC app’s features. If the

ECC app is only used on an access-controlled com-

puter, and only accessed by station engineers, then

these four User Groups do not need to be assigned.

But, in this case, DO NOT CLICK on Enable Se-

curity, in the

dow to run the ECC app without security.

The HDE-200 User Groups are maintained even

if the ECC app is removed from the computer so a

new app version can be installed maintaining the

same User Groups. These instructions pertain to

WinXP computers, see Appendix A for steps spe-

cific to Windows 7 and Vista computers.

work. To select a device double-click on its name

(or click to highlight its entry, then click

press

Enter

on the keyboard) to select that HDE-

200 and close the window.

The selected HDE-200’s current status and con-

figuration information is transferred to the ECC

app. If audio is going through that HDE-200, the

audio meters will show the audio levels for the

Analog and Digital Main Programs.

If a new HDE-200 is being added to the net-

work, then the HDE-200 must typically first be

configured for the facility’s network, off-line, be-

fore being physically connected to the network and

subsequently appear in this list.

Network configuration can be done in two ways:

by using a USB flash drive to copy and move the

HDE-200 configuration information to the ECC

app for editing (the “sneaker net” method); or by

setting the NIC on a computer running the ECC

app to be 10.10.10.2 so it can be directly net-

worked with the new HDE-200 (“direct” method).

Here are the default network settings assigned

to the HDE-200 at the factory:

, or

3.4 Editing the HDE-200 Network Settings

To edit the network settings for a new HDE-

200 using the “direct” method, install the ECC app

onto a laptop or desk computer with the IP ad-

dress of 10.10.10.2. Directly connect the computer

to port 1 on the new HDE-200. Then select the

new HDE-200 in the

the Configuration Window and follow the instruc-

tions from step 5 onwards to edit the network set-

tings.

When the ECC app is running on a networked

computer that is already connected to other

Flexstar devices, use the “sneaker net” method by

using a USB flash drive to move the settings from

the new HDE-200 to the computer by following

the instructions from step 1 onwards.

NOTE: With either method the ECC

app must be set for no security, or you

must be logged in as a Commissioner,

in order to edit the network settings

on the new HDE-200.

3.5.3 DELAY CONTROL MENU

Delay Control Menu Items

This Menu is where the Diversity Delay settings

are defined and where the HD Radio mode:

Enable Blend or Enable Ballpark Mode is set.

Because of the significant time difference be-

tween the HD Radio signal (due to its encoding,

transmission, and decoding processes) and the

analog signal transmitted via standard FM, for the

HD Radio tuner to seamlessly blend from the

analog signal to the HD Radio signal, the analog

broadcast signal must be time delayed by mul-

tiple seconds to stay time-aligned with the HD

Radio signal.

3.5.3.1 Setting the Diversity Delay

Up to twelve and half seconds of

lay

Split

while “tweaking” the delay setting in the Diversity

Settings pop-up window.

Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Start with an initial setting of roughly seven

seconds. This setting is often associated with

a particular Exciter, so also refer to the HD

Radio Exciter’s manual about their recom-

mended Diversity Delay.

2. Use program material with plenty of peaks

and silence (like spoken word) instead of

music so that the delay or time difference

between the two signals is most easily seen.

3. Progressively “zoom in” the scope as the two

signals are more closely aligned.

Delay Trim

The current Diversity Delay time (Absolute Di-

versity Delay) is shown in the Delay Trim section

of the window in seconds (the default setting each

time the window is opened) or in the number of

audio samples the signal is being delayed (each

audio sample is 1/44,100 of a second or 22.7 mi-

croseconds).

Adjusting the delay time can be done by double-

clicking the Absolute Diversity Delay time (which

then turns blue) and entering a new delay time.

The Diversity Delay Adjustment entry can be used

to add or subtract time to the existing Diversity

delay. In either case, click Apply to change the

delay time. Note that the delay time will then ramp

to the new setting using the Ramp Mode.

To view the delay by Samples, click the Samples

radio button. The same entry methods (double-

clicking the Absolute Diversity Delay entry or en-

tering an adjustment into the Diversity Delay Ad-

justment entry box) as used with Seconds can be

used with Samples.

A rough determination of the HD Radio signal

to analog delay difference can be determined by

simply listening to the two signals in Split Mode.

An audio source with speech, rather than music,

will best facilitate this process. A time difference

of greater than 0.2 seconds is clearly discernible.

If the analog signal arrives before the HD signal,

then more delay is needed and vice-versa.

To more precisely adjust the Diversity Delay,

view the two signals on a dual trace oscilloscope

or use a dedicated HD monitor like the Audemat

Golden Eagle HD.

Ramp Control

The Ramp Control Section simply shows how

much time, in minutes:seconds.hundreds of sec-

onds, that it takes to ramp up from no delay to

the Absolute Diversity Delay set in the Delay Trim

section.

The actual amount of the ramp time is affected

by both the Diversity Delay time itself and by

is the maximum ramp time. The actual ramp time

may be much shorter, especially with spoken word

programming.

Diversity Correction

Checking External Correction Enable will al-

low an external “Audio Time Correlation Measure-

ment Device” to post delay correction values, via

Ethernet, to the HDE-200. These correction val-

ues are only utilized when the Diversity Delay is

not being altered (e.g., not being manually adjusted

and not ramping up or down).

The Port used by the particular Time Correla-

tion device is also set in this part of the window

using the Up/Down arrows.

Note that at this time there are no HD receivers

that incorporate this feature, thus it is not nor-

mally enabled.

Saving the Diversity Delay Settings

Once the delay is set (the HD Radio audio and

analog FM audio are in phase with no time differ-

ence), click

to store the Absolute Diversity

Delay Value and other settings in this window to

the nonvolatile memory of the HDE-200 and to

close the window.

The delay value will now be the target during

all subsequent Ramp Up commands. If the delay

was ramped up at the time of an accidental power

outage, the Exporter will automatically ramp back

to that delay target at power restoration.

Blend is checked, the receiver blends from the HD

Radio signal back to the analog broadcast signal.

The Enable Blend setting affects how the HD

Radio receivers operate, which means that it also

affects how much Diversity Delay is required to

in the first payload of a block leaving the second

payload of that block empty.

There are a few arcane restrictions regarding

the placement of payloads beyond the above de-

scription. Fortunately, the ECC software disciplines

these restrictions for you. You simply click and drag

the desired SIS message block from the top of the

window to one of the available payload slots. Per-

mitted placement choices are clearly indicated, and

the application will not permit you to place a mes-

sage in a restricted payload location.

Note that if a message requires more than two

payloads to deliver its respective message, only a

portion of the message gets broadcast each time

the message is scheduled since each frame (16

blocks) are sent at a rate of one frame per 1.5

seconds.

Choices that are not supported in the current

iBiquity software release are grayed out (Call Sign

Universal and Slogan Universal).

The Station Message box will be grayed out if

the Message entry box does not have any text en-

tered in the

SIS data is structured into 32 payloads, which

constitute one frame. These 32 payloads are di-

vided into 16 blocks of two payloads each and are

numbered along the left side of the SIS window.

SIS messages vary by payload requirements.

Some messages require a single payload, some

require two payloads, or more, to fully deliver their

message content. It all depends upon the length of

the respective message.

SIS Messages are deployed in the schedule as

either single or double message payloads. You are

free to schedule your SIS messages however you

choose, but there are some restrictions. Single pay-

load messages can generally be placed anywhere,

while multiple payload messages must be placed

Messages needing more than two payloads to

complete will be repeated slower than the 1.5 sec-

ond frame rate, unless they are scheduled to ap-

pear more than once per frame. For example if the

Slogan Standard uses all 56 characters, it will need

16 payloads to complete. If it’s scheduled four

times per frame, it takes about six seconds for a

full display on the HD Radio receiver’s display:

16 / 4 (payloads/times per frame)

X 1.5 (seconds/frame) = 6 seconds

A similar situation applies to the latency of the

Service Messages. Each service requires its own

message. Only a single service’s message is broad-

cast when a Service Message is scheduled. There-

fore if a station wants to promote multiple HD

services in a timely fashion, then Service Messages

need to be scheduled more often.

As an example, assume a station has five Ser-

vices total: three audio services (HD1, HD2 and

HD3) plus two additional data services. If the sta-

tion wants information about these services to be

promoted with the least latency then the Service

Information message must be scheduled five times

in the 32 payload frame. If you’ve got five ser-

vices, then five payloads will get it done in the 1.5

second frame period.

To summarize, here are some SIS guidelines:

• Message latency is managed though

repetition

• Keep your messages as short as practical

• Allow shorter, more important messages, to

be interspersed within the schedule of

longer messages

The iBiquity default SIS schedule is included

on the HDE-200 Flash Drive in the Documenta-

tion folder (Harris\APN-146-WCF HDE-200 SIS

when the pro-

gram processing is so different between the ana-

desirable to use one signal in the other applica-

tion. Thus, if either signal were to fail, there would

only be an AES Fault indication without any in-

ternal signal switching to cover for the missing

audio input.

Note that the HDE-200 does not perform

silence detection, it simply monitors the two in-

puts looking for valid AES clock, outputting an

AES Fault if no AES clock is detected.

Audio Options Section

Invert Digital Polarity

Check this selection to invert the signal polarity

of the analog signal path within the HDE-200 in

the unlikely event there is an unresolvable polar-

ity inversion between the HD Radio signal pro-

cessing and the analog signal processing paths

through your system. Normally this is unchecked.

Receiver Trim Level

This control affects the HD Radio receiver’s

output level for the HD Radio signal. It’s used to

compensate for any apparent loudness disparity

between the analog and HD Radio signals due to

how the analog and digital signal chains are pro-

cessed and transmitted.

The HD Radio signal’s audio output can be ad-

justed by up to +/- 7 dB, as compared to the ana-

log broadcast output level (which has a fixed level

in the receiver). Adjust the output level in 1 dB

increments by clicking the up or down arrows.

Click the large arrow button to pop up a volume

3 Control Center Software

Ramp Mode

This setting affects how the HDE-200 Diver-

sity and optional Profanity Delay ramping algo-

rithms operate. There are three ramp modes on

the HDE-200:

· Linear Ramp (not recommended)

· Soft Ramp (recommended for any format)

· Smart Ramp (recommended for sports and

talk formats only)

Selecting Linear alters the Diversity and Pro-

fanity delays by a fixed rate. The default ramp rate

is fairly slow, approximately 3% deviation from

normal pitch and tempo. The downside of linear

ramping is that most people can easily discern the

beginning and end of the ramp change by the

abrupt alteration of pitch and tempo.

If the ramp rate is too fast the effect is rather

jarring to the audience. If the ramp rate is too slow,

it will seem to take forever for the ramp process to

complete. This method is the way all other

manufacturer’s exporter devices behave during

Diversity delay alterations.

Soft Ramp (an HDE-200 exclusive mode) be-

gins and ends the alterations of the Diversity and

Profanity delays in a very gradual manner. The

Soft ramp rate achieves an ultimate rate much

faster than a linear rate without being noticeable

to the listening audience. Soft ramp’s default limit

rate is a 6% deviation from normal pitch and

tempo, which is roughly a musical semitone.

The advantage of soft ramp is that no one will

discern the beginning and end change of pitch and

tempo, while the ramp rate can be accelerated to

a more rapid terminal ramp rate without listeners

being able to discern the process. The Soft ramp

selection can be applied to all program formats

with no concern as to the audience impact.

Smart Ramp (an HDE-200 exclusive mode) al-

ters the Diversity and Profanity delays in two ways:

an extraordinarily slow, 0.8% ramp rate is used

3-17

HARRIS CORPORATION

Revision F • 3/11

Page 40

3 Control Center Software

while there is program material level above a cer-

tain threshold; a remarkably fast 20% ramp rate

is then used when the program material level falls

below this threshold. This has the effect of devi-

ously shortening or lengthening gaps between spo-

ken words. The advantage of Smart Ramp is that

listeners cannot discern a change of pitch. At the

same time, the duration that the ramp remains in

process is dramatically reduced.

Of the three modes, Smart Ramp is the fastest,

but since its ramp time is dependent upon the pro-

gram material, the ramp duration is non-determin-

istic. One downside of Smart Ramp is that during

extended musical passages, the ramping process

is not particularly effective. Consequently, it’s best

to limit the Smart Ramp selection to spoken word

format program material.

Using the HDE-200

The HDE-200 has limited front panel con-

trols, which are for engineering use only. Board op-

erators and other users interface with the HDE-200

through using the Exporter Control Center (ECC

app), a software application running on Windows

XP, Vista, or Windows 7 Pro computers networked

with one or more HDE-200 Exporters, or through

a hardware button control panel.

4.1 HDE-200 Controls

The front panel controls on the HDE-200,

shown below, allow engineers to monitor various

audio inputs and outputs both visually, through a

front panel level display, and aurally, through a

front panel headphone jack or the rear panel AES

monitor output. Only three buttons—Monitor Se-

lect, Headphone Volume up and Headphone Vol-

ume Down, are needed to quickly select, view, and

listen to any input or output.

A dual row dot matrix display shows the name

of the Monitor Source Signal in its top row while

the stereo signal level is shown in the lower row.

This display can alternately show alarm condi-

tions; delay status for the Diversity and optional

Profanity Delay; and the headphone output level.

4.1.1 SELECTING THE MONITOR SOURCE

Press the

step through the four monitor sources: Main In is

the analog transmission’s input signal; MPS In is

the digital transmission’s input signal; Main Out

is the analog transmission’s output signal from

the HDE-200; and MPS Out is the internal-only

audio signal feeding the iBiquity DSP board. Note

that MPS In will not be available if the HDE-200

is set to use a common input (Main In) as the

source for both the analog and digital transmis-

sion chain signals. In addition, the output of the

iBiquity DSP board cannot be monitored by the

HDE-200 since it is the E2X serial data stream

creased. Conversely, tap the

headphone volume in 2 dB steps, which also in-

creases the bargraph length.

The maximum volume (0 dB) is indicated by a

full bargraph. The minimum volume (-50 dB) is

indicated by no bargraph. Note that dots in the

bargraph indicate 0%, 50%, and 100% of the vol-

ume range.

cally full, thus the Ramp Up LED is normally lit.

But, both LEDs might be lit, or one or both LEDs

might be blinking, because the two delays are in

different states. Press

Any user can monitor any HDE-200 through

the Exporter Control Center software (ECC app)

running on a studio computer. Any HDE-200 Ex-

porter in the network can be monitored, or moni-

tored and controlled, depending upon the creden-

tials of the logged in user. User credentials are set

using the facility’s normal system login names.

When the user is assigned to an HDE-200 User

Group, as defined by a computer administrator

when the ECC app was installed, then they will

have their assigned level of access. If the user

logged into the computer is not set as an HDE-

200 User, and they start the ECC app they will

have No Credentials access.

4.2.1 AUDIO METERING

One of the main ECC app uses is to allow the

audio levels for both the analog carrier and the

HD Radio signal to be shown in the HDE-200.

The top meter (Analog Main Delay Service)

shows the audio levels for the Main Delay Input

(Pre Delay) or the Diversity delayed signal (Post

Delay). This audio signal’s ultimate destination is

the analog exciter/transmitter.

The bottom meter (Digital Main Program Ser-

vice) displays the audio levels for the MPS Audio

Input (Pre Delay) or the audio going to the iBiq-

uity DSP board (Post Delay). There is no meter

display of the iBiquity DSP output since it’s an

Ethernet data stream feeding the HD Radio ex-

citer/transmitter.

4.2.1.1 Meter Source Selection

The source for each meter is in-

dependently selected by the two but-

tons to the left of the meters. The

blue highlighted button is the active

source. Pre Delay selects the audio input and Post

Delay selects the output audio for each meter. Click

the gray button to change the meter source.

Diversity Delay Status & Ramp Controls

HD Radio Audio Signal level

The top, or Analog Signal meter, can show the

Pre Delay audio level (the audio as it enters the

HDE-200 on the

Main Delay In

put jack) or the

Post Delay audio (the audio level as it exits the

HDE-200 on the

Main Delay Out

jack). The Post

Delay signal may have no delay, a Diversity delay,

a Profanity delay or both Diversity and Profanity

delays, depending upon the current settings of the

HDE-200.

The bottom, or Digital Signal meter, when set

for Pre Delay, shows the AES digital audio signal

as it enters the HDE-200 on the

MPS Audio In

put. If the HDE-200’s Active Input Source is set

for Main Input only, then this meter shows the

same signal as the upper meter. Post Delay shows

the audio level feeding the iBiquity HD Radio DSP

processor. This signal will only be delayed if the

optional Profanity delay is active, otherwise the

Pre and Post Delay metering is identical in time.

4.2.1.2 Audio Levels

Each meter displays both the average signal level

(shown as a bar) and a peak level indication

ten dB above the top of the average level, depend-

ing upon the amount of signal processing). Peak

levels are held for one second before decaying.

Ideally, the right end of the average level bar

will fall between -20 and -12 dBFS marks for typi-

cal processed air signals. The levels from -57 dBFS

up to -20 dBFS are displayed using green seg-

ments. Signal levels from -19 dBFS up to -3 dBFS

are shown using amber segments. This is the area

where the average and peak indications should

normally be seen. The amber color indicates you

are getting close to using up the signal headroom.

The last three segments: -2, -1 and 0 dBFS, use

red segments to indicate these levels are danger-

ously close to digital clipping. An occasional peak

in this area is OK, but regular peaks in this area

indicate the level is too hot and digital clipping

may occur.

To the right side of each meter are two Signal

Peak indicators. These blue indicators turn on any

time a signal level of -3 dBFS or higher is detected.

If the blue Peak indicators regularly turn on, the

signal level feeding the HDE-200 is too hot.

The Progress Bar waxes green from left to right

in a linear fashion as the delay is built from zero

seconds to the target value. The relative length of

the bar corresponds to the percentage completion

of the delay.

If there is currently no Diversity Delay, the Ramp

Up button is enabled. Holding the pointer over

the Ramp Up button (mouse over) turns it Yellow

signifying that clicking will cause the action to oc-

cur.

Once the Ramp Up button is clicked, the Ex-

porter commences inaudibly increasing delay, typi-

cally utilizing the Soft Ramp feature, to the

ton function is “grayed out” and not available for

delay status box for the Profanity Delay below

the Digital Program meter levels. It does not have

Ramp Up and Down buttons, but one Dump but-

ton (with a Red Flag) at the end of the status bar.

The Profanity Delay Status Bar shows the state

of delay by a visual, numerical, and percent of the

delay. When the delay is out (or ramped down),

then the profanity delay is 0% with 0.00 seconds

delay. When the delay is fully ramped up, then the

bar is green, the profanity delay setting in seconds

and 100% is shown.

Profanity Delay Status Bar

The Profanity Progress Bar waxes red from left

to right as the delay builds from zero seconds to

the Total Profanity Duration. The relative length

of the bar corresponds to the percentage comple-

tion of the delay. The bar color turns from red to

green as the delay builds past the Dump Duration

setting (set in the

Profanity Delay Settings

dow), which means that a dump event could oc-

cur at that point.

Triggering a dump event can be done using the

on-screen or a hardware remote panel Dump but-

ton to allow a producer or call screener to dump

the Profanity Delay. The Profanity delay almost

instantly ramps down the delay by the Dump

Duration. Most often the Dump Duration is set to

only dump part of the delay so that a second dump

event could be triggered as the dump builds back

up. For example, if one Dump dumps 50% of the

delay, then a second Dump would dump the rest

of the delay.

When the Profanity Delay is dumped, the delay

instantly starts to rebuild the delay using the as-

signed ramp method so it is almost inaudible to

the listeners. The Progress Bar will be red if the

dump is below the Dump Duration time, turning

green once a delay event can be triggered again.

4.2.4 STATUS INDICATORS

The bottom portion of the ECC app’s main win-

dow shows the status for the signals required for

proper operation of the HDE-200.

ECC App, Status Indicators

The Signal Status names and indicators use

various colors to indicate their current status. A

name in white indicates an option or signal that is

not active. A name or indicator in green means

that the signal is present or good. A name or indi-

cator in red or orange indicates a fault condition.

In some cases these faults will also be indicated

on the front panel of the HDE-200, blinking the

Fault LED.

Here’s a summary of what the various Signal

Status names and indicators mean:

AES Main = Main Delay Input status: green (has

AES clock); red (no AES clock detected)

AES MPS = MPS Audio Input status: green (has

AES clock); red (no AES clock detected)

ARB Loop = Arbitron PPM Encoder option sta-

tus: white (PPM option not active); green (iBut-

5.2 Technical Overview

The HDE-200 consists of four PCAs:

· Interface Controller

· Linux CPU

· Front Panel Display

· HD Radio DSP

The HDE-200 block diagram is shown below.

The part identifiers in this section are silkscreened

onto the circuit boards.

The power supply—a commodity +5 VDC “line

lump” type held captive within the chassis, plugs

into J23 on the Interface Controller. The 5 volt

output is filtered, regulated and/or current lim-

ited by U14, U15, U17, U32, U38, U39, U40, and

U41 to derive the four supply voltages (+1.2, +1.8,

+3.3 and +5 volts) used in the HDE-200.

front panel displays, and for the delay processing.

It’s programmed by the data stored in a 2 MB

Flash Memory chip (U16). The board’s firmware

code can be updated, as required, by plugging a

USB thumb drive with updated data files into the

USB port (J6) on the rear panel.

The update procedure is detailed

in a Code Update section, later in

this chapter.

A 128 MB SDRAM chip (U26) is used for the

Diversity Delay and for the optional Profanity

Delay. About 47 seconds of total delay time is

available.

A GPS antenna signal (input on J20) feeds a

Copernicus GPS receiver (U1). The center conduc-

tor of the type-F connector carries a current

limited +5 volts to power the GPS antenna. The

GPS receiver has 1 PPS (pulse

per second) clock and GPS lock

outputs. If the GPS receiver is not

locked onto the GPS satellites, the

FPGA then generates a GPS Un-

lock alarm.

Two VCXOs (made up of Y2, Y3, and U25) gen-

erate a 20 MHz and a 22.5792 MHz clock which

are phase locked to the GPS 1 PPS signal. The 20

MHz clock is divided in half to generate the 10

MHz clock output, which is further divided by

3,125 to generate a 3,200 Hz clock, which is com-

pared with the 1 PPS signal in a phase detector

circuit. Another 3,200 Hz clock is generated by

dividing down the 22.5792 MHz clock. This clock

is phase locked to the 3,200 Hz clock generated

by the 20 MHz VCXO.

The 10 MHz clock

output (on J11) is used

to synchronize an HD

Radio Exciter, when

it’s co-located with the

HDE-200, along with

the 1 PPS clock out-

put, which is sent through a tri-state octal buffer

(U10) to J9. These signals are typically only used

when the HD Radio Exciter is co-located with the

HDE-200.

The 22.5792 MHz clock is divided by two to

generate a 11.2896 MHz master clock for the

FPGA, the delay memory, and the AES transmit-

ters. This clock is called the 256fs clock since it is

256 times the 44.1 kHz AES audio sample rate,

which is called the fs clock. The 11.2896 MHz

clock is also divided by 4 to

create a 64fs clock, which is used

by the AES receiver chips. It is

divided by 256 to generate the

44.1 kHz master clock which is

sent through a line driver (U10)

to rear panel jack, J10.

An Ethernet switch chip (U24) connects the

Linux CPU (plugged into SODIMM socket J8) to

the HD Radio DSP board (via the internal CAT-5

cable) and to the three rear panel RJ45 jacks (Port

1, Port 2, Port 3). These ports can be used to di-

rectly connect to an HD Radio Importer, admin

computer, STL, HD Radio Exciter, or to a facility

network switch.

The iButton socket (J35) connects to the FPGA.

An iButton is a 1-wire® device programmed with

a specific code to unlock

optional features on the

HDE-200. The iButton

uses +3.3 volts and must

be installed for the op-

tional features to func-

tion.

All audio inputs and outputs conform to AES/

EBU standards for digital signals. Each input and

output goes through a 110 ohm balanced AES

signal transformer (T2 - T9). The Main Delay In

(J2) signal goes through a relay (U28) which

couples the signal, through relay U29, to the Main

Delay Out (J4) whenever the HDE-200 is

unpowered.

Each digital input, after being unbalanced by

the AES transformer, goes to an AES receiver chip

(U35 - U37) which time aligns and sample rate

converts the incoming AES or S/PDIF signal to

the internal 44.1 kHz sample rate that the HDE-

200 uses. The serial data output of each AES re-

ceiver goes to the FPGA for internal routing. An

AES Loss alarm is generated if an AES signal is

not present.

The four digital outputs (Main Delay Out, Ref

Mon Out, and the two loop outputs) go through

AES transmitter chips (U18 - U21) that connect

through AES transformers (T4, T5, T8, T9) to J4

(Main Delay Out), J5 (Ref Mon Out), and J1 (the

Post Delay Loop outputs).

The front panel headphone jack is driven from

U22, a combined DAC

(digital to analog con-

verter) and headphone

amp in one chip. The

Front Panel HP Vol-

ume buttons adjust the output level in twenty-five

2 dB steps. The maximum output level is 50 mW

per channel into 16 Ohm headphones.

Refer to the

Hardware

chapter for a detailed

description of the 44-pin Remote I-O Logic con-

nection.

5.2.2 FRONT PANEL DISPLAY

The Front Panel Display board connects to the

Interface Controller using a 30-conductor ribbon

cable that carries +5 volts and various control sig-

nals to and from the display. The Interface

Controller’s FPGA drives the Front Panel com-

ponents through two Octal Line Driver/Buffer ICs

(U11 and U12).

The Front Panel Display board has few active

components. Its two 10-Character Intelligent Dis-

plays (DS1 and DS2),

mounted in IC sockets,

indicate Alarm status or

show a selected input or

output signal level. The

displays are self-supporting with built-in signal

decoding and multiplexing circuits and LED driv-

ers. Each display character is a 5x5 dot matrix

with individually addressable LED segments. Two

reference dots (visible between the audio signal

level bargraphs) indicate 0 dBFS (full scale digi-

tal) and -20 dBFS (20 dB below full scale digital).

The seven Front Panel switches connect in an

X-Y matrix to the FPGA chip on the Interface

Controller. The amber LEDs (D1 - D7) indicate

operational status or an error condition. These

are driven by U1, a 16-bit shift register/ latch

with constant current LED driver outputs.

5.2.3 LINUX CPU

The Linux CPU is the small PCA latched into

a SODIMM memory card socket (J8), a 144-pin

edge connector on the Interface Controller.

The CPU is an Atmel ARM9 microprocessor

running a Linux kernel (a subset of a full Linux

install) so it takes about 30 seconds for it to boot

up from pressing

the Linux operating system and the HD Radio

codec code. It has an Ethernet interface (hence

the Linux CPU MAC address and IP address) that

goes through T1 on the Interface Controller to

connect to the Broadcom Ethernet switch.

The CPU also has a USB controller (Host 2.0

compatible). USB power is supplied by U41 on

the Interface Controller.

5.2.4 HD RADIO DSP

The Main Program Service (MPS) audio, plus

the various HD Radio data and settings assigned

using the Exporter Control Center (ECC app), pro-

gram service data (PSD) from a digital playback

system, and any incoming data received from an

HD Radio Importer, is encoded by the HD Radio

DSP board using an Ethernet connection on the

Interface Controller. Thus, the HD Radio DSP

board also has its

own separate

MAC and IP ad-

dresses. In addi-

tion, each board

HARRIS CORPORATION

is serialized, to identify the exact codec that gen-

erated the HD Radio signal. This serial number

must be properly identified during HDE-200 con-

figuration.

The HD Radio DSP board is based on a Texas

Instruments TMS320C6713 floating point DSP.

This DSP chip is used to compress and trans-

form the incoming MPS audio into the HD Ra-

dio format using proprietary code (HDC codec)

supplied by iBiquity. The ECC app selections and

the HD Radio Importer data and secondary au-

dio channels are combined with the processed

MPS audio to then create the HD Radio E2X

data stream, which is output on the Ethernet ports

to feed the HD Radio Exciter.

5.3 HDE-200 Troubleshooting

As with other software-based products, if the

HDE-200 should stop responding to the front

panel controls or to the ECC app, then it most

likely indicates the unit has to be reset. If there is

no HD Radio audio output, then it would indi-

cate the Linux CPU, which controls audio routing

through the HDE-200, or the HD Radio DSP

board have hung up and will need to be reset.

The analog broadcast audio will continue since

there are fail-over relays that couple the Main

Delay In audio to the Main Delay Out audio in

the event of a CPU failure. If there is an issue with

the Interface Controller FPGA, then the Diversity

Delay will be affected.

If any of these conditions are encountered (no

HD Radio signal but the Main Delay Out is still

working) then the first step would be to press the

Processor Reset button on the rear panel. This

reboots the Linux CPU, reloads the FPGA con-

figuration from the Flash Memory, and restarts the

HD Radio DSP.

It takes about 30 seconds for the Linux CPU to

complete rebooting (a boot message is shown on

the front panel display during this time). At the

5-6

Revision F • 3/12

Page 58

5 Service

end of this boot time the Linux CPU reestablishes

communications with the HD Radio DSP and with

the HD Radio Exciter. The HD Radio DSP board

can then begin processing the incoming audio,

which will take roughly seven to fifteen seconds

to make it through the processor and out the Eth-

ernet connection to the HD Radio Exciter.

During this time the analog broadcast audio

continues, but in a non-delayed state. The Blend

control bit is turned off until the Diversity Delay

completes rebuilding to its set length. Once the

Diversity Delay is ramped back to full, the Blend

function is turned back on since the analog broad-

cast is now time locked to the HD Radio audio.

5.3.1 HDE-200 DEVICES DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE ECC APP

When no HDE-200 devices appear in the HDE-

200 Exporter Control Center list of devices to con-

nect to—even though one or more HDE-200 de-

vices are responding to pings from the computer,

then there are typically three possible causes:

• The FlexStar Network Interface (

Preferences

) address has a typo, the wrong

NIC was assigned, or the FlexStar network

cable is plugged into the wrong NIC.

• The FlexStar Multicast settings differ from

the default setting of 239.255.255.1, port

50010 in the ECC app or on the HDE-200

device. For most installations the default

settings should be used.

• The Windows Firewall is enabled and is not

configured to allow HDE-200 messages or

ECC app communications through the

firewall.

Any one (or more) of these configuration errors

will cause the multicast messages, transmitted by

the HDE-200 devices, to not be received by the

ECC app. Subsequently, this means that the HDE-

200 devices will not appear in the select device

list.

System

Check that the NIC address for the computer’s

interface to the FlexStar network is set correctly

and verify the FlexStar Multicast settings are cor-

rect. If both were set correctly then the issue is

most likely associated with the Windows Firewall

settings.

Windows Firewall is automatically disabled in-

side the Harris domain network. However, when

a user logs into Windows but does not use the

Harris domain, the default setting for the Win-

dows Firewall (for WinXP SP2 and later) is auto-

matically enabled. This enabled setting will block

multicast messages sent by the HDE-200 from

being received by the ECC app.

5.3.2 CONFIGURING THE FIREWALL TO UNBLOCK THE ECC APP

appears if the ECC app is started and Windows

NOTE: The ECC program requires

5.5 Replacing Assemblies

Should the DSP assembly (PRE99-1820) or

CPU assembly (PRE99-1815) require replace-

ment, they must be “paired-up” before use.

NOTE: Unplug the HDE-200 from the

Ethernet network, before applying

power, if either the CPU or DSP as-

semblies have been replaced.

When power is first applied to the HDE-200,

the CPU performs a scan of the local IP network

subnet looking for the presence of the DSP as-

sembly. Once the DSP assembly is found, the IP

address for that DSP board is automatically up-

dated to the DSP IP address that had been previ-

ously recorded by the CPU. Two scenarios can

HARRIS CORPORATION

5-10

occur, depending upon which assembly was re-

placed.

Scenario 1Scenario 1

Scenario 1: The CPU is replaced.

Scenario 1Scenario 1

The existing DSP IP address is returned to

the factory default (10.10.10.22).

Scenario 2Scenario 2

Scenario 2: The DSP assembly is replaced.

Scenario 2Scenario 2

The new DSP assembly will be changed

to the IP address that was assigned to the

replaced DSP assembly.

Note that the pairing process will take a bit

longer than the typical startup duration (could last

up to 5 minutes). This is normal for this pairing

process. The HDE-200 will automatically restart

again after the DSP assembly has been found and

paired with the CPU.

If the HDE-200 continually restarts, this is an

indication that the CPU is not able to pair up with

the DSP. This could be due to the CPU detecting

another HDE-200 on its local network. If this

occurs, the CPU will purposely refuse to perform

the pairing process. In this case, disconnect all

network cables from the HDE-200.

If a USB Flash Drive is connected—before start-

ing the Boot process, a boot log file will be written

to the Flash Drive. This will give a progress indi-

cation for the pairing process. Contact Harris Tech-

nical Support if continuous restarting occurs even

with the network cables disconnected.

Once the pairing is complete, review the IP ad-

dress assignments using HDE-200 Control Cen-

ter. Make any IP address adjustments that may

be necessary. Once all the network settings match

their previous settings, the connection to the Eth-

ernet network can be restored.

Exporter Control Center

and Windows 7

OVERVIEW

The Exporter Control Center (ECC app) is supplied

by Harris to configure and monitor HDE-200 Exporters.

It can be run on computers using WinXP (SP2), Vista

Pro, or Win7 Pro. Because Windows 7 offers much tighter

control over security and firewalls, and in public vs.

private network settings, many users have experienced

difficulty in installing and using the ECC app on a

Windows 7 computer.
