HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manualxiii
The HMX6803+ is an auto-sensing SD/HD-SDI 4-AES audio multiplexer and
processing amplifier with one digital video input and one DARS reference
input, and has four processed SD/HD-SDI outputs. The OP+HMX+ module has
the same features, and an additional optical transmitter. The modules support
embedding and passing of Dolby E™ metadata , and picture and sound control
through integrated processing amplifiers. The basic HMX6803+ and
OP+HMX+ provide SD and HD-SDI audio embedding, and there is an optional
upgrade to 3G HD-SDI. Another optional upgrade adds four AES inputs, for a
total of eight.
Each HMX6803+ or OP+HMX+ package includes a module-specific breakout
cable with unbalanced (coaxial) audio connectors that expands the number of
available connections beyond what would fit on a standard two-slot back
connector. Balanced AES inputs are supported with external baluns. The
breakout cable includes an RS-232/RS-422 serial connector to embed metadata.
Chapter 1
Introduction
HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ can be operated locally (using card-edge
controls); or operated and monitored remotely with control software
applications such as CCS
SNMP-based control applications, or CCS-compliant remote control panels
such as NUCLEUS. The modules are QSEE™-compliant, so you can monitor a
thumbnail when it is installed in an Ethernet-equipped FR6802+QXF or
FR6822+ frame.
The HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ back connector requires two frame slots
within an FR6802+XF, FR6822+, or FR6802+QXF frame. There is no
backward compatibility provided for use with 6800/7000 series frames or
FR6802+DM frames. HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ must be installed in a frame
with fans.

Audio Embedding Modes
The audio embedder component in the HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ is
composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks:
Chapter 3: Operation
page 57).
•One ancillary data stripper (ADS)
•Four audio embedding subcomponents
The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper ( ADS). This block removes
all ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding.
Following the ADS block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents.
Each subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either
appending or overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.
The audio embedding modes are Audio Group (1–4) EmbeddingMode
parameters (see
page 51). Table 3-2 briefly describes the Off, Append,
OverWrt, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes.
Table 3-2. Embedding Mode Options
OptionsDescription
OffDeactivates embedding of the selected audio group
AppendAttempts to insert the audio dat a and co ntrol packets
immediately following the last existing audio data/control
packet in the horizontal ancillary region (see
Embedding” on page 28)
OverWrtAttempts to overwrite existing audio data and control
packets of the same group number with the new audio data
(see
“Overwrite Embedding” on page 30)
“Append
HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual27
AutoAttempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control
packets of the same audio group number; failing that, it
appends the new audio data and control packets
immediately following the last existing audio data/control
packet (refer to the Audio Group (1–4) Exists parameters
on
page 51 to determine what audio groups are already
present in the incoming SDI signal)
When you select Append embedding, the HMX6803+ and OP +HMX+
attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the
last existing data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary data space (ADS).
Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to be embe dded does not
already exist.
Figure 3-1 shows how append embedding will appear in the ancillary data space
when there is no previous audio or other data.
Figure 3-1. In Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 1 When No Other Data is Present
Figure 3-2. In Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 1 When Auxiliary Data is Present
28HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
When auxiliary data exists in the ancillary data space, appended audio appears
following that data, as shown in
If you attempt to insert audio into Group 1 when Group 1 audio data already
exists in the ancillary data space, an error will be returned, as shown in
Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Append Embedding Mode When Adding Group 1 and a Group 1 Already Exists
If you insert Group 2 audio when there is pre-existing Group 1 audio in the
ancillary data space and no Group 2 audio, the Group 2 audio will be inserted
following the Group 1 audio, as shown in
Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4. Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 2 Following Group 1
If you insert Group 1 audio when there is pre-existing Group 2 audio in the
ancillary data space and no Group 1 audio, the Group 1 audio will be inserted
following the Group 2 audio, as shown in
Figure 3-5. Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 2 Following Group 1
HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual29
An audio group cannot be divided. In Append embeddin g, the audio group is
always added following the last block in the ADS. If there is not enough room
to append the audio group following the last block of auxiliary data or audio in
the ADS, the attempt will result in an error, as shown in
Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6. Append Embedding Mode Returns Error When Auxiliary Data Exists in all Audio Groups
Overwrite Embedding
When you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any
existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new
audio data. This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already
exists. If the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio
data packet sample distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data
packets for deletion (DID word will be set to 180h).
Figure 3-7. Overwrite Embedding Mode When There is No Pre-Existing Audio
To avoid sample distribution issues, activate the ADS Clean feature (see
“ADS Clean Parameter” on page 39).
When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous audio (as in
Figure 3-7), it will return an error because there is nothing to overwrite.
30HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:
This error occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode
for a particular audio group, but that audio group already
exists in the incoming SDI signal.
In this case, the embedder does not embed another audio
data and control packet of the same audio group, as this
will result in incorrect audio sample distribution.
This error occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite
mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group
does not exist in the incoming SDI signal
Page 48
Chapter 3: Operation
•Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be
overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and
append errors are actually warnings that the operation is not being
performed.
•In SD-SDI mode do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio
samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples. The required extended data
packet information appended to that group may over write a pre-existing
audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature
provided.
Mono Channel Audio Embedding
To embed audio on a channel-by-channel (mono) basis, preserving some
embedded audio channels while replacing others from external AES sources,
follow these steps:
1. Configure the input audio routing path (Input > Audio > Routing) by
selecting audio pair sources to the individual audio sample rate converters.
By default, SRCs 1-8 are assigned to the 8 deembedded audio sources
(DMX Grp1 Ch1/2, DMX Grp1 Ch3/4, DMX Grp2 Ch1/2, etc.) and SRCs
9-16 are assigned to the external AES audio sources (AES1a/1b, AES2a/2b,
etc.).
2. Configure the output audio routing path (Output > Audio Source Select >
Embedded Audio) by selecting sources to each mono embedded audio
output channel.
Each SRC (SRC1a, SRC1b, SRC2a, etc.) can be selected to any output
embedded audio channel, allowing for any input-to-output au dio
configuration.
3. Remove or preserve existing embedded audio with the ADS Clean
parameter (Processing > Audio).
4. Use the Audio Group (1-4) Embedding Mode parameters (Processing >
Audio > Embedding) to select the desired audio group embedding mode for
each audio group.
•In Auto mode, non-existing audio groups are appended and existing
audio groups are overwritten.
•In Overwrite mode, the original audio is preserved using the settings in
step 2.
•In Off mode, audio groups are untouched unless the ADS Clean
parameter is enabled.
Example: Replacing Audio Channel 1 in Group 1 Only
To replace only embedded audio channel 1 in group 1 with audio from external
AES 1A source, follow these steps:
1. Leave the input audio routing path at the default configuration (SRCs 1-8
from deembedded audio, SRCs 9-16 from external AES audio).
32HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
3. Preserve existing embedded audio by setting the ADS Clean parameter
(Processing > Audio) to No.
4. Set the audio group embedding mode (Processing > Audio > Embedding):
Audio Group 1 Embedding Mode: Auto
Audio Group 2 Embedding Mode: Off
(incoming audio group 2 will be preserved)
Audio Group 3 Embedding Mode: Off
(incoming audio group 3 will be preserved)
Audio Group 4 Embedding Mode: Off
(incoming audio group 4 will be preserved)
Audio V-Fade
Input Audio Rate
To enable a smooth deembedded audio V-fade transition when switching video
sources, set the
Audio V-Fade parameter to Enable, and theAudio LOV Output
Mode parameter to Mute.
AES outputs in this mode are not AES11 alignment compliant and are not
aligned with video.
For proper operation in this mode, set the user delay parameters for all
audio channels (Processing > Audio > Delay) to the same value.
When embedding audio in PCM mode (Audio Ch [1–16] Format = PCM or
Audio Ch [1–16] Format
=
PCM), the input audio sample rate may be from 32 kHz to 108 kHz. This
= Auto and Audio Ch [1–16] Format Feedback
input audio will be sample rate converted to 48 kHz prior to embedding in the
video signal; as well, the embedder will indicate 48 kHz in the “Rate” word of
the audio control packet for each embedded audio group.
When embedding audio in Non-PCM mode (Audio Ch [1–16]
Format
[1–16] Format Feedback
= Non-PCM or Audio Ch [1–16] Format = Auto and Audio Ch
= Non-PCM), the input audio sample rate must be
48 kHz, and it must be frequency locked to the source video. In this scenario,
the sample rate conversion function is bypassed and the embedder will indicate
48 kHz in the “Rate” word of the audio control packet for each embedded audio
group.
(The parameters are listed on page 45.)
HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual33
The output audio source selection consists of two sets of controls.

Seamless Sound Function
When used in conjunction with HDX6803+ or SFS6803+ in a de-embedding
mode, the HMX6803+ can provide an uninterrupted (“popless”) embedding and
de-embedding path for the discrete audio channels regardless of the presence or
input switching of the video, as long as a constant video standard is maintained.
Set the Seamless Sound Enable parameter (Processing > Audio) to Enable.
Set the Audio LOV Output Mode to Pass.
If an audio group already exists and you want to replace it, set the ADS Clean
parameter to Yes (Processing > Audio > Embedding).
The ADS Clean parameter removes all audio groups from the vid eo stream.

and default values for the Dolby E Start Line parameter.
Table 3-4. Dolby E Automatic Header Alignment by Video Standard
For Dolby-E automatic header alignment to operate correctly, the input SDI
must be frequency locked to the same reference source as the Dolby-E source.
Maintaining Audio/Video Alignment
Table 3-5.
When you use Sample Rate Conversion with PCM Audi o to chang e audio rates
and provide audio synchronization with output video, this introduces a delay in
the audio signal path.
36HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
To maintain an alignment between video and audio in PCM mode, set the
Audio/Video Align parameter (Processing > Video > Delay) to Yes. This
introduces a matching video delay and maintains audio/video alignment.
When using Non-PCM Audio, or when sample rate converters are bypassed, set
the Audio/Video Align parameter (Processing > Video > Delay) to No to avoid
excessive video delay.
AFD/WSS/VI Detection and Insertion
AFD, WSS (625 only), and VI (526/625 only)embedded video metadata
specify the active area to be displayed from a video input. These codes do not
do any aspect ratio conversion themselves, but indicate how the vi deo should
appear to systems capable of interpreting the data.
•Seven input parameters (Input > AFD/VI/WSS De-embedder) on
HMX6803+ modules indicate the presence of AFD, WSS, and VI data
when you determine the lines where this data is likely to appear, if present.
•The single processing parameter (Out Aspect Ratio, which appears at
Processing > Video > AFD/VI/WSS) determines the options for the AFD Select and VI Select parameters.
•Twelve output parameters (Output > AFD/VI/WSS Embedder) determine
the line to embed AFD, WWS, and/or VI codes on, the code(s) to be
embedded, and what happens when a code disappears from the input.

CCS software application user manual, or CCS software application online help
for information on viewing software and hardware version numbers.
Changing Parameter Settings Using CCS Software
Before using CCS Navigator to change your module’s parameter settings, you
must discover the module. Discovery is the process by which CCS Navigator
finds, and then connects to your module.
Identifying Your Module in CCS Software
Whether your module is a HMX6803+ or an OP+HMX+, when you discover it
in CCS Navigator or refresh it in + Pilot Lite, the module will be identified as a
HMX6803+.
If your module has an optional laser OP+HMX+ component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays the wavelength. If the module does not have an
optical component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays Not Installed.
In addition, if the module is an OP+HMX+, it will have one additional alarm
that standard HMX6803+ modules do not. This alarm is Laser Failed.

Table 4-4. Optical Specifications for Laser Modules
To prevent overload damage, ensure that you observe the following:
Before connecting any standard-sensitivity (PIN) op tical receiver to a fiber
network, ensure the power level is tested to fall within the publishe d

To ensure error-free operation, the input power must be less than -7 Bm.
70HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than
those specified in this document may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters
that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a
conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very
high, and it can cause damage to your eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy
on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000
times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3,
and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic
transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.
Precautions for Enclosed Systems
In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally
enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables
that interconnect various components of an optical fiber disconnect or break,
you may be exposed to laser emissions. Also, technicians may be exposed to
laser emissions during installation and servicing.
Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent
beam that decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less
energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury.
WARNING
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a
microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare
at the energized fiber end.
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems
are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
1. Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.
2. Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved training
course before performing installation or maintenance.
3. Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of the
modules.
80HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ Installation and Operation Manual
During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication
system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these
practices:
CAUTION
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do
service, maintenance, and restoration.
1. Avoid exposing the eye to emission s from unterminated, energized optical
connectors at close distances.
2. Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment
during installation or servicing.
3. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
4. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the
optical fiber systems during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the
workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S., or outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
