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:
In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will be fully

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002 / 96 / EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic

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 must not
dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU
member states may have different deadlines.)

The DA-6804+D series of distribution amplifiers distributes serial digital signals
according to SMPTE259C, 292M, 424M and DVB-ASI standards (compatibility
depends on the model selected).
The following modules are available:
DA-DH6804+D is a dual channel 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI distribution amplifier
DA-DHR6804+D is a dual channel 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI distribution amplifier
with reclocking capability
DA-DS6804+D is a dual channel SD-SDI distribution amplifier
DA-DSR6804+D is a dual channel SD-SDI distribution amplifier with reclocking
capability
Each distribution amplifier consists of a front and back module, and operates in
6802+ series frames, occupying two slots. Ten distribution amplifiers can be

Approximately three seconds after powering up, the DA-6804+D module should
be fully operational. The module can be set to either local (card-edge) or remote
(CCS network) control, using the J3 jumpers setting described on page 9.

Automatic Changeover
The signal at SDI In_1 is distributed to 8 outputs. If the signal at SDI In_1 is lost,
the outputs are switched to SDI In_2 (the module must be able to detect a signal
at SDI In_2). Using the Hysteresis parameter, you can set the amount of delay
before the module switches over to SDI In_2, and before the problem is reported
to CCS.

The DA-DSR6804+D can reclock 270 Mb/s SD-SDI signals; the DA-DHR6804+D,
can reclock 270 Mb/s, 1.485 Gb/s, and 2.97 Gb/s SMPTE signals. If the input data
is not at one of those rates, the reclocker function will not function. Instead, the
signal will pass through the module.
LEDs on the front edge of the front module report the operating status when the
power is on and signal is applied. The system status and signal condition LEDs are
shown in Figure 3-1. The individual LEDs are described on page 12.

Operating Notes
When you set the control parameters on DA-6804+D series distribution amplifiers,
observe the following:
If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also
be affected.
When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module
requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new
settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be
restarted.
