Operator’s Safety Summary

WARNING: These instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform this installation or any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Ensuring Safety

 The unit should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with

liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.

 When the unit is to be permanently cabled, connect the protective ground conductor

before making any other connections.

 Operate built-in units only when they are properly fitted into the system.

 For permanently cabled units without built-in fuses, automatic switches, or similar

protective facilities, the AC supply line must be fitted with fuses rated to the units.

 Before switching on the unit, ensure that the operating voltage set at the unit

matches the line voltage, if appropriate. If a different operating voltage is to be set, use a fuse with the appropriate rating. Refer to the Installation Instructions.

 Units of Protection Class I with an AC supply cable and plug that can be

disconnected must be operated only from a power socket with protective ground contact:

− Do not use an extension cable—it can render the protective ground connection

ineffective.

− Do not intentionally interrupt the protective ground conductor.

− Do not break the protective ground conductor inside or outside the unit or

loosen the protective ground connection; such actions can cause the unit to become electrically hazardous.

 Before opening the unit, isolate it from the AC supply, and then ensure that

− Adjustments, part replacements, maintenance, and repairs are carried out by

qualified personnel only.

− Safety regulations and rules are observed to prevent accidents.

− Only original parts are used to replace parts relevant to safety (for example, the

power on/off switches, power transformers, and fuses).

 Replaceable fuses can be hazardous when live. Before replacing a fuse, disconnect

the AC power source.

 Use caution when cleaning the equipment; isopropyl alcohol or similar solvents can

damage or remove the labels.

 Observe any additional safety instructions specified in this manual.

Directives and Compliances

This section provides information concerning Harris Corporation compliance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC and EU Directive 2002/96/EC.

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

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)

In accordance with this EU Directive, all Harris products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See the Harris Premier 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. Harris equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. RoHS Compliance Symbol

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

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

Audio Display

Press the AUD/ALARM button to display the audio display. The VTM-2000 accepts up to 4 AES/EBU, 4 mono analog or 2 stereo analog pair, and four groups of embedded inputs, and displays up to 4 analog channels.

The audio types are selected by pressing the SETUP button and selecting AUDIO SETUP\CONFIGURE INPUT A thru D\AUDIO TYPE menu:

 ANALOG

 AES/EBU - A digital audio standard established jointly by the Audio Engineering

Society (AES) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

 EMBEDDED - Digital audio information multiplexed onto a serial digital data

stream. Up to sixteen channels can be multiplexed on a single stream of 601 video, minimizing cabling and routing requirement.

Lissajous can be selected as Soundstage or X-Y displays.

Input assignments, scaling, input levels, and response can also be modified using the Audio Setup menu.

Audio Scales

The Vertical audio graticule scales change according to the scale selections made in the AUDIO SETUP\METER SETUP\ANALOG or DIGITAL SCALE menu and the format being displayed.

The Scales are:

 TYPE I

 Type IIa

 Type IIb

 Type I + 8

 Nordic

 DIN 45406

 dBFS (Digital only)

VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook 33

General Operation

Vertical Audio Displays

The Vertical Meter displays the level and reference in a vertical format. There are four analog audio input channels (two stereo pairs), four AES/EBU digital input channels (eight stereo pairs), and 16 embedded audio channels (serial-digital video input only) available for selection in the menu. A maximum of four channels can be displayed simultaneously. Audio inputs can be assigned to any meter pair on the display.

The displayed inputs can also be monitored as analog signals on the 37-pin, D-Sub, ANALOG INPUT/OUTPUT connector. The displayed AES/EBU or embedded audio will be converted to analog audio for the monitoring output. The output audio level can be adjusted from -50 dB to +6 dB around the reference-input level. The default output level for a -20 dBFS input produces a +4 dBm analog output level (600Ω). For example, when applying a gain adjustment of +6 dB to the output with a -20 dBFS input signal, the audio output level will be +10 dBm into a 600Ω termination. This Audio Output Level adjustment is made in the AUDIO SETUP\OUTPUT PREFERENCES menu. The Audio Output Level adjustment default is 0 dB.

The phase bars are used to monitor the instantaneous phase relationship between two channels of audio. The “+” marking indicates a phase difference of 0°, and the “-” marking indicates a phase difference of 180°. A properly phased stereo pair produces a phase pointer that moves within the green zone, whereas a reversed channel produces a pointer that moves within the red zone. The phase bar polarity in the AUDIO SETUP\METER SETUP\CONFIGURE PHASE BARS\POLARITY menu can be set to Normal or Reverse.

The effect of higher damping in a phase meter is to show an averaged rather than a peak value of phase. The Phase Bar Damping in the AUDIO SETUP\METER SETUP\CONFIGURE PHASE BARS\DAMPING can be set from FAST, 1 to 10, and SLOW.

The lissajous display appears for 2 and 4 bar graphs on the right of the audio pane. The lissajous display shows the amplitude and phase relationship between two input signals.

Vertical Audio display diagrams are shown in Figure 3-26 to Figure 3-27 and described in Table 3-15 to Table 3-16. The Vertical audio graticule scales change according to the scale selections made in the Setup menu and the format being displayed. Some of the markings in the illustrations do not normally appear on the display.

 AES/EBU - A digital audio standard established jointly by the Audio Engineering

Society (AES) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

 EMBEDDED - Digital audio information multiplexed onto a serial digital data

stream. Up to sixteen channels can be multiplexed on a single stream of 601 video, minimizing cabling and routing requirement.

Audio Display

The VTM-2000 instrument is capable of displaying analog or digital audio. To take advantage of this flexibility, use the AUDIO SETUP menu to select specifications unique to the studio environment.

Configure the audio display type and parameters using the AUDIO SETUP CONFIGURE INPUT A to D submenu. Audio can be displayed as:

 2 Channels: One vertical 2 channel bar graph with 1 Lissajous and 1 Phase bar

 4 Channels: Two vertical 2 channel bar graphs (for a total of 4 channels) with 2

Lissajous and 2 Phase bars

Input Mapping

The Input Mapping is used to assign the meter to the input. When selected, the MATRIX screen appears. Turn the NAVIGATION knobs to move around the Matrix, and press the ENTER button to assign an input to a meter. Separate Mapping schemes can be made for the BAR TO INPUT MAP for each audio type. Only one input can be assigned to a meter, but multiple meters can be assigned to an input.

VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook 49

Global Setup Menu Functions

Meter Setup

The Meter Setup submenu is used to select the response, ballistics, and other meter features.

Ref Level Analog

The Ref Level Analog setting is used to set the reference level on the meters for an analog signal. Content below this setting is green. Content above this setting is yellow.

Ref Level Digital

The Ref Level Digital setting is used to set the reference level on the meters for a digital signal. Content below this setting is green. Content above this setting is yellow.

Peak Program Level Analog and Digital

Analog and Digital Peak Program Level is a range set for each scale type that shows red when the audio level exceeds this range. The range starts at the set reference level and changes in 1 dB increments.

Analog and Digital Scales

The Analog and Digital Scales submenus are used to determine the type of scale that appears on the audio meter display.

Meter Response

Ballistics specifications are shown in Table 4-14. These specifications describe meter scale markings and both attack and decay times for meter movement.

Table 4-14. Ballistic Specifications with Attack and Decay

Ballistic Name Standard Attack Decay

VU IEC 268-17 300 ms 300 ms

PEAK IEC 268-10 10 ms 1.7 sec

TRUE PEAK IEC 268-10 0 ms 1.7 sec

The audio scales and ballistics are based on the IEC 268-10 and IEC 268-17 standards. These standards describe meter scale markings and both attack and decay times for meter movement.

The following meter responses can be selected:

VU (NORMAL)

 PEAK

 TRUE PEAK

 VU + PEAK

 VU + TRUE PEAK

50 VTM -2000 Installation and Operation Handbook

Global Setup Menu Functions

PK (Peak) Hold

PK (PEAK) HOLD TIME is a user-selectable duration value of OFF, 1 to 10 seconds, or infinite. The duration only applies to the hold time of the PEAK value, not the attack or decay time. RESET PEAK manually resets the Peak value.

Lissajous Setup

The Lissajous display is a display of the amplitude and phase relationships between two input signals. The Lissajous Setup is used to set the lissajous intensity, lissajous contrast, persistence, attack, and enable or disable Automatic Gain Control (AGC).

AGC, when enabled, is used to automatically adjust the gain setting in the Lissajous and Phase displays. Otherwise, the Lissajous display contains a fixed gain mode. AGC keeps the lissajous pattern within the bounds for signal levels from –50 dBFS to 0 dBFS.

Lissajous Display

Select to determine the type of Lissajous display that appears in the Audio pane. There are two types of Lissajous displays (Soundstage and X-Y). The soundstage selection displays a lissajous, which is rotated so that the in-phase signals appear on the vertical axis and out of phase signals appear on the horizontal axis.

X-Y displays a lissajous with the left channel mapped to the vertical axis, and the right channel mapped to the horizontal axis.

Configure Phase Bar(s)

The phase bar monitors the instantaneous phase relationship between two audio channels. A properly phased stereo pair produces a phase pointer (yellow mark framed in black) that moves within the green zone, whereas a reversed channel produces a pointer that moves within the red zone. The phase bar polarity can be set to Normal or Reverse.

Damping

AES Validity Bit

The AES Validity Bit is used to detect PCM (pulse code modulation) audio or non-PCM audio. Non-PCM audio can include Dolby or the digital data.

Output Preferences

The Output Preferences is used to determine what level is output from the audio option.

VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook 51

Global Setup Menu Functions

Analog Output Level

The output audio level can be adjusted from -50 dB to +6 dB for analog and digital inputs independently.

The default output level for a -20 dBFS digital input produces a +4 dBm analog output level (600Ω). For example, when applying a gain adjustment of +6 dB to the output

with a -20 dBFS input signal, the audio output level will be +10 dBm into a 600Ω termination. The Audio Output Level adjustment default is 0 dB.

Display Setup

The Display Setup menu is used to configure the Display colors, graticule, monitor, and time code.

Display Colors

The display colors are used to select the colors for the background, signals, and graticules of the VTM-2000. The colors are listed in Table 4-10 on page 4-46. The Displa y Color Selection Screen, shown in Figure 4-1, is used to set the colors. Any color selection that is not available is blocked out and not selectable. “X” indicates the selection on the screen.

Figure 4-1. Display Color Selection

Use the NAVIGATION knobs to select the cell for the color and function. Once selected, press the SETUP/ENTER button to assign the color to that function. Though the same color can be used for multiple functions, each function can use only one color. Black cells in the Display Color Screen indicate color selections that can not be made for specific funct ions.

NOTE: The background color is selectable. There is a 50% reduction in the luminance level of the background relative to the same color of other attributes (e.g. text or graticules). This is to assure a contrast when the background color selection is the same, such as red enabled alarms over a red background.

52 VTM -2000 Installation and Operation Handbook

Global Setup Menu Functions

Graticule Intensity

The Graticule Intensity submenu is used to raise or lower the brightness of the displayed graticule.

Monitor

The monitor menu is used to select the screen saver and output level for the monitor.

All VTMs must have unique unit IDs, as described in Unit ID on page 4-55. The REMOTE port must be terminated on the last VTM-2000 using this menu.

IP Configuration

The IP CONFIGURATION menu is used to configure the VTM-2000 for Ethernet communication. The Ethernet interface provides a high-speed communication link to the VFlash application over standard LAN and Internet networks. The interface conforms to industry Ethernet standards:

 Connection via a standard RJ45 socket

VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook 53

Global Setup Menu Functions

 Automatic detection and switching between 10BaseT and 100BaseT

 TCP/IP stack is fully compliant with RFC2500, “Internet Official Protocol

Standards”

 Fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard

The interface can accept a static IP address, or it can obtain an IP address dynamically from a DHCP server. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, and DHCP are programmable from the IP Configuration menu. The settings are performed in the IP Configuration matrix screen.

IP Address

The IP Address is used to select a static IP address (unless Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) will be used). The IP address must not be the same address as another instrument or PC on the network. Network conflicts will occur if two devices have the same IP address. See the System Administrator to determine a static IP address that will avoid conflicts.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask is used to configure the Subnet Mask on a network if DHCP is not enabled. If DHCP is not used to automatically detect the Subnet Mask on a network, the Subnet Mask must be manually configured. Unlike the IP address, the Subnet Mask must be the same Subnet Mask as the network Subnet Mask. See the System Administrator to determine the Subnet Mask.

Gateway

The Gateway is the network address that provides access to an outside network. Use the Gateway submenu to configure the Gateway on a network if DHCP is not enabled. If DHCP is not used to automatically detect the Gateway on a network, the Gateway must be manually configured. Unlike the IP address, the Gateway must be the same Gateway address as the network Gateway address. See the System Administrator to determine the Gateway address.

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) function is used to have the VTM2000 automatically configure an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway every time the unit is powered on. The IP Address is dynamic and could change each time the VTM-2000 is powered on. DHCP Enable is set to OFF by default.

GPI Output Function

The GPI Output Function submenu is used to enable the GPI OUTPUT and determine the GPI OUTPUT POLARITY.

Alarm GPI Output

The Alarm GPI Output submenu is used to enable the GPI output to activate upon an alarm conditio n.

54 VTM -2000 Installation and Operation Handbook

Global Setup Menu Functions

GPI Output Polarity

There is one GPI output that is associated with a list of alarms. All GPI alarm activation selections are set to the default OFF until the alarm is enabled. When an alarm is enabled, the GPI functions according to the GPI OUTPUT POLARITY setting (NORMALLY OPEN, NORMALLY CLOSED). The default polarity is NORMALLY OPEN.

 NORMALLY OPEN: The contact closure on the GPI board is normally open.

When the contact closure closes, the GPI alarm is activated.

 NORMALLY CLOSED: The contact closure on the GPI board is normally

closed. When the contact closure opens, the GPI is activated.

Unit ID

The unit ID is the identification number of the VTM-2000. It can be set to any number within a range of 1 to 99 and should be different than the identification numbers of other units in the same system configuration.

System Setup Menu

The System Setup menu is used to control the system configuration selections.

Panel and Preset Lockout

The Panel Lockout feature is used to disable front panel control until the proper password is entered. The Preset Lockout feature, located within the Panel Lockout menu, is used to prevent storing settings in selected presets.

Similar to the Panel Lockout feature, the Preset Lockout is also password protected. When a user locks a preset configuration into the VTM-2000, it will not be able to be altered until the password is entered.

Section 5 ♦ Alarm Descriptions

Setting Alarms

Limits are selected in the SETUP Menu by choosing a value using the UP/DOWN or CURVED ARROW knobs, or the UP or DOWN Navigation buttons.

Sensitivity and Duration are two general terms used in the alarm menus:

 Sensitivity

Sensitivity is set by Consecutive Errored Samples (CES). When setting amplitude limits, a noise spike can exceed the limit while the video amplitude can be within the limit. With the CES set to a low number, a spike is detected and an alarm is displayed. Set the CES to a higher number to ignore the fast spike. Each CES occurs at 37ns intervals for SD. Use this as a guideline to select the appropriate CES value.

Not all alarms have CES associated with them; in such cases, use the duration to increase or decrease the general sensitivity.

 Duration

This value is used to determine how long an error must persist before it is reported. Set the duration to 0 to cause an error to be displayed as soon as the CES value is met.

Audio Alarms

Peak Audio

The Peak Audio alarm occurs when the peak audio level exceeds the adjustable limit for a period in excess of the duration setting.

Loss of Sound

The Loss of Sound alarm occurs when the peak amplitude falls below an adjustable ANALOG or DIGITAL LEVEL for a period in excess of the duration setting. This alarm is valid for the displayed input (analog, AES/EBU, or embedded). The alarm is global and independent of the scale type or input format.

Video Alarms Digital Descriptions

The Video Alarms Digital menu contents are listed below.

Loss of Carrier

The Loss of Carrier alarm occurs when there is no TRS (Timing Reference Signal) detected.

Section 6 ♦ Troubleshooting

CAUTION: These instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform this installation or any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

NOTE: When power is applied to the unit, the display shows the startup screen for about 25 seconds.

If the VTM-2000 is not functioning properly, first verify that:

 The VTM-2000 is connected to a power source (90–264 VAC, 50/60 Hz nominal).

 All cables are correctly connected (see Section 2, “Installation”).

Initial difficulties with operation or display can be due to improper setup. Review the operation was correct to ensure that the proper adjustments have been made for the signal requirements.

Cold Starting the VTM-2000

NOTE: A cold start resets all front panel and Setup menu selections to the factory-default settings. All

user settings are lost.

If a problem persists after the cables are correctly connected and the unit is set up, perform a Cold Start. Three procedures can cold start the VTM-2000. Only one procedure needs to be performed to cold start the unit. The first type of cold start procedure is a front panel Cold Start, as described below. The second type of cold start procedure is a Warm Start that is described on page 7-67. The third type of cold start is a Cold Start after a VFlash update that is described on page 7-68.

The Ethernet default settings for the VTM-2000 are:

IP: 192.0.0.100 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192 Gateway: 0.0.0.0

Appendix C ♦ RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit

The RCU-2000 remote control unit enables remote control of as many as 30 VTM-2000s.

Installing the RCU-2000

Figure C-1. RCU- 2000 Front and Back Panel Views

Table C-1. Description of RCU-2000 Back Panel Connectors

Label Description

TO MAIN UNIT RJ11 connector that connects to the REMOTE connector on the VTM-2000 and

provides communication. The communication param eters are 8 data bits, no parity, with the baud rate fixed at 38,400 bps.

5V DC IN Connects to the DC power plug on the RCU-2000 power supply. A knurled ring

enables the power plug to be secured to the jack after the plug is fully inserted. This connection must be made before AC power is supplied.

To install the RCU-2000:

1. Connect the DC power supply to the 5V DC IN connector.

2. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded AC outlet.

3. Verify that the front panel buttons flash. If they do not, check steps 1 and 2.

4. If multiple VTM-2000 instruments are being connected, ensure each

VTM-2000 has a unique unit ID (from 1-99) before connecting them to the REMOTE bus. The UNIT ID submenu is located in the COMMUNICATIONS menu. See Unit ID on page 4-55 for more information on Unit ID.

5. Physically connect the RCU-2000 to a bus with one or more VTM-2000

instruments using a multidrop cabling adaptor and straight through cable using RJ-11 connectors (not a standard telephone wire) that connects to the REMOTE ports on the back of the VTM-2000 instruments and to the TO MAIN UNIT

VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook 77

RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit

connector on the back of the RCU, as illustrated in Figure C-2. The RCU-2000 must be at one end of the RS-422 bus. The last VTM-2000 instrument must be terminated at the other end by selecting TERMINATION in the COMMUNICATIONS\RCU PORT menu.

Figure C-2. Connecting the RCU to Multiple VTM-2000

6. Once connected, select the VTM-2000 instrument to be controlled by the

RCU-2000 by pressing and holding the SETUP and EXIT buttons simultaneously on the RCU-2000 simultaneously. While in the selection mode, the PHASE LED flashes.

7. Rotate the CURVED ARROW knob to search up or down from the last found

Unit ID to select the instrument to be controlled. The Line Select LEDs will alternately flash until a VTM-2000 is found.

8. When communication is established between the RCU-2000 and the

VTM-2000 instrument, the RCU-2000 LINE SELECT LEDs will stop flashing in alternate pairs. The RCU-2000 LEDs now reflect the settings of the attached VTM-2000 instrument. The RCU-2000 front panel operations affect the VTM-2000 instrument.

9. The VTM-2000 polls the selected RCU-2000 every five seconds. If the

VTM-2000 instrument fails to receive the poll after 60 seconds, the RCU-2000

78 VTM -2000 Installation and Operation Handbook

RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit

assumes that a communication break has occurred. The LEDs flashing indicates a communication break. When communication is once again established, the LEDs will reflect the current setting.

Operating the RCU-2000

Operating the RCU-2000 is the same as operating a VTM-2000 instrument with one exception: selecting a VTM-2000 instrument for communication.

To select a VTM-2000 instrument for communication:

1. Press and hold the SETUP and EXIT buttons simultaneously to enable the

selection mode. The Phase LEDs flashes.

2. Rotate the CURVED ARROW knob to search for a Unit ID. Rotating

clockwise scans UP through the UNIT IDs. Rotating counterclockwise scans down through the unit IDs.
