Preface

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

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 website for more information on dates and 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.

Preface

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

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 are 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 website for more information on dates and 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Product Description

The VCA / VDA / VEA6800+ is an analog video distribution amplifier set in the new 6800+ family.

These DAs feature high video performance, low cost, and remote control.

Typical Broadcast and Production Applications

The VCA / VDA / VEA6800+ distribution amplifier can be used in broadcast, cable, production, educational, and auditorium applications where a low cost method of distributing analog video signals is required.

Main Features

VCA6800+

The VCA6800+ is an analog video clamping and equalizing distribution amplifier. Other VCA6800+ features include the following:

• One differential input

• Eight outputs with dual slots back module, four outputs with single

slot back module when installed in FR6802+X(F) frames; eight outputs when installed in FR6802+DM(F) frames

• AC and DC input coupling selectable

• Looping and internal terminating selectable with dual slot back module, internal terminating with single slot back module with FR6802+X(F) frames; looping or internal terminating selectable with FR6802+DM(F) frames (see Figure 2-2 on page 18 for instructions on setting this jumper)

1. Locate the jumper block on the module. Figure 2-1 on page 17

shows the location of this jumper block.

2. Place the jumper on the pin that corresponds to soft-, hard- or

no-clamping mode. See Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4. VCA6800+ Clamping Mode Jumper Block Pin Placement

The VCA6800+ module has two separate, adjustable potentiometers (“pots”) for gain and EQ mode adjustment. Figure 2-1 on page 17 shows the location of these pots.

A multi-turn pot allows you to adjust gain for a range of –3 dB to +3 dB. See Figure 2-5 on page 20.

• To increase the gain, turn the pot clockwise.

• To decrease the gain, turn the pot counterclockwise.

A second multi-turn EQ pot allows you to adjust cable equalization. See

Figure 2-5 on page 20.

• To obtain more equalization, turn the pot clockwise.

• For less equalization, turn the pot counterclockwise.

A single-turn pot allows fine adjustment of the CMR. A separate single-turn pot controls the response, while a variable capacitor controls EQ response. The adjustments have been set in the manufacturing

facility; readjusting is not recommended without precision test equipment.

The VDA6800+ module has one jumper, which is used to select the looping or internal input termination. The VDA6800+ module also has an adjustable pot for gain mode.
