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, 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

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

Chapter 1

Introduction

The HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 are two-channel and four-channel HD or SD audio multiplexers, respectively. The HMX6801+B2 and HMX6801+C2 modules can embed two AES audio signals into two groups within the SDI output signal, while the HMX6801+B4 and HMX6801+C4 can embed four AES audio signals into two groups. “B2/B4” versions of the modules embed balanced signals, while “C2/C4” versions embed unbalanced signals.

The following topics are described in this chapter:

• “Product Description” on page 2

• “Module Descriptions” on page 4

• “Signal Flow” on page 10

Note

Product Description

General Description

The HMX6801+B2/C2 two-channel and HMX6801+B4/C4 four-channel AES Multiplexers can (respectively) embed two and four AES audio signals into a single 1.5 Gb/s HD or 270 Mb/s SD video signal in both balanced and unbalanced formats.

Following SMPTE 299M and SMPTE 272M specifications, these multiplexers are able to embed up to four AES audio signals into two groups in the ancillary region of the SDI output signal. The sample rate conversion on these modules can be disabled for Dolby E audio compliancy.

These modules can be controlled and monitored in the following ways:

• Locally, via card edge

• Remotely, with CCS software applications such as + Pilot Lite

CCS Pilot panels and other products such as NUCLEUS

Panel.

Four module types are available:

• HMX6801+B2 has one balanced DARS input, one unba lanced

All product versions provide one SDI video input and a minimum of two SDI video outputs.

DARS input, two balanced AES input channels, and two balanced AES output channels

• HMX6801+B4 has four balanced AES input channels and a third

SDI video output

• HMX6801+C2 has one unbalanced DARS input, two unbalanced

AES input channels, and two unbalanced AES output channels

• HMX6801+C4 has four unbalanced AES input channels and a third

SDI video output

The back connectors for both module types require two frame slots within an FR6802+QXF or FR6802+XF frame (there is no backward-compatibility provided for use with 6800/7000 series frames).

Maximum 6800+ Frame Power Ratings

The power consumption for HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 modules is 7 W from the positive supply and 0.2 W from the negative supply. Power consumption information is also listed in the Specifications chapter.

Table 2-1 states the maximum allowable power ratings for 6800+

frames. Note the given maximums before installing any 6800+ modules in your frame. HMX6801+ modules cannot be installed in frames without fans, or in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series frames.

Unpacking the Module

Preparing the Product for Installation

Before you install the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4, perform the following:

• Check the equipment for any visible damage that may have occurred during transit.

Contact your Customer Service representative if parts are missing or damaged.

• Confirm receipt of all items on the packing list. See “Checking the

Packing List” for more information.

• Remove the anti-static shipping pouch, if present, and all other packaging material.

• Retain the original packaging materials for possible re-use.

See “Unpacking/Shipping Information” on page ix for information about returning a product for servicing.

Setting Jumpers

The HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 modules have one jumper for remote or local control. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the REM/LOC jumper.

Figure 2-1. Location of the REM/LOC Jumper (HMX6801+B4/C4 is shown)

Follow this procedure to set the REM/LOC jumper for either remote or local control:

Y ou must 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.

The white triangle near the jumper pins on the module indicates pin 1.

1. Locate the REM/LOC control jumper on the module (beside the

extractor handle).

Figure 2-1 shows the standard location of the REM/LOC jumper.

2. Place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 to set the module for Remote control or pins 2 and 3 to set the module for Local control. See Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2. REM/LOC Settings for Remote and Local Control

See Table 1-1 "Generic 6800+ Module Features" for more information on local/remote control jumper functionality.

Chapter 2: Installation

Installing and Removing HMX6801+ Modules

The HMX6801+ modules have double-width back connectors. The modules cannot be installed in frames without fans, or in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series frames.

These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing both front and rear modules,

Before installing your modules, see Table 2-1 "Maximum Power

Upgrading HMX6801+ Firmware

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on a HMX6801+ module. The HMX6801+ module can be upgraded in Boot Loader mode only. CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The HMX6801+ must be installed in a frame that contains or is connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ module.

When performing the upgrading procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the HMX6801+ module.

If for some reason the upgrade fails, the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in “Correcting a Failed Upgrade Procedure” on

page 20.

Follow these steps to upgrade a HMX6801+ module’s firmware:

1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our Web site or from your CD-ROM.

2. Remove the HMX6801+ module from the 6800+ frame.

3. Set the hex switch to F.
