Preface
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, which took
effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:
• Lead (Pb)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union
will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our 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.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic 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. As of August 13, 2005, the
producers or users of these products were 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
deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for
information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment that
complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant
emblem, as shown in Figure P-2.

Safety
Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent
damage to this product or any products connected to it. If this product is
rack-mountable, it should be mounted in an appropriate rack using the
rack-mounting positions and rear support guides provided. It is
recommended that each frame be connected to a separate electrical
circuit for protection against circuit overloading. If this product relies
on forced air cooling, it is recommended that all obstructions to the air
flow be removed prior to mounting the frame in the rack.
If this product has a provision for external earth grounding, it is
recommended that the frame be grounded to earth via the protective
earth ground on the rear panel.
IMPORTANT! Only qualified personnel should perform service
procedures.

Overview

Introduction
The HFS6801+ is an HD and SD TV processing module capable of
retiming an I/O signal to a local station clock and allowing the clean
processing of all synchronized signals. The module provides video
frame synchronization and delay for HD and SD TV signals, and
picture control through a video-processing amplifier.
The following topics are described in this chapter:
• “Product Description” on page 2
• “Module Descriptions” on page 4
• “Signal Flow” on page 7
HFS6801+ Installation and Opera t io n M an ua l 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
General Description
The HFS6801+ HD and SD TV Video Frame Synchronizer module
provides a SDI digital input, two active reclocked SDI outputs, four
synchronized SDI outputs, and a genlock reference video input. A
special output provides hot switch and I/O delay signals for tracking
audio processing.
The HFS6801+ module’s reference input (located on the back
connector) and the 6800+ frame’s genlock connector both provide a
reference signal.
This module can be controlled locally (via card edge) or controlled and
monitored remotely with control software applications such as
+Pilot Lite
remote control panels and other products.
The back connectors for HFS6801+ requires two frame slots within an
FR6802+ frame (there is no backward-compatibility provided for use
with 6800/7000 series frames).
