Preface
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 takes effect on
July 1, 2006, and it 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. Effective 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.

xii HUC6800+ Installation and Operation Manual
Overview
Chapter 1
Introduction
The HUC6800+ and HUC6800+C modules are HDTV upconverters
with aspect ratio conversion (ARC) and SD/HD digital video
distribution amplification capabilities. The “C” version module
supports closed captioning data.
Note
The HUC6800+ and
HUC6800+C modules can only
be installed and operated in an
FR6802+XF frame.
This chapter introduces the HUC6800+ and HUC6800+C, and
includes the following topics:
• “Product Description” on page 2
• “Module Description” on page 4
HUC6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
The HUC6800+ and HUC6800+C upconverter modules provide
conversion from SD-SDI to a user-selectable HD-SDI standard. These
modules provide two active reclocked SD/HD-SDI outputs, four
synchronized HD-SDI outputs, and a genlock reference video input.
They also include ARC capabilities, and can accept embedded audio
and ANC data. The HUC6800+C version supports closed captioning
data processing.
The modules’ SDI input has error monitoring capabilities in the SD
mode (EDH), and they support external or midplane genlock sources.
Both modules can be controlled locally (via card edge) or controlled
and monitored remotely with control software applications such as CCS
+Pilot Lite,
control products.
Main Features
™
Pilot™, and Navigator™, or other CCS-compliant remote
Important HUC6800+ and HUC6800+C features include the
following:
• Auto-detectable/user-selectable input/output standards and formats
• Error monitoring on SDI input
• One selectable SD/HD-SDI input with embedded audio data
• Two dedicated HD-SDI outputs carrying the program signal with
embedded audio; two additional HD-SDI outputs carrying either
the same program signal or the key signal (user-selectable)
• Two SD/HD-SDI outputs for carrying equalized and reclocked
program signals
• Variable aspect ratio conversion (ARC) with five user presets
• Color-space conversion from SD to HD
• Audio sync and delay, including incremental audio delay
• Video frame delay of up to 7 frames
• Support for closed caption data processing (HUC6800+C only)
• User-configurable picture-resizing aspect ratio conversion (H/V
size, H/V position)
• User-selectable color for internally-generated ARC background
2 HUC6800+ Installation and Operation Manual
Applications
Chapter 1: Introduction
• Adjustable vertical blanking size in fields 1 and 2; transfer of closed
captioning information between formats
• 24-bit audio processing
• Embedded audio processing (demultiplexing from SDI, delay/sync,
sample rate conversion, and remultiplexing into SDI)
• Support for two groups (eight channels) of embedded audio
• Support for compressed audio data and linear PCM audio data in
the same audio group
• Built-in HD test generator containing cross-hatch pattern, color
bars signal, luma sweep, and SAG (safe area generator) key
• HD-SDI luma (soft edge rectangle) key output of non-picture area
The HUC6800+ and HUC6800+C modules are suitable for the
following applications:
• Upconversion of HD content for monitoring applications, such as
driving large screen displays with upconverted HD content
• Upconversion of HD content for on-air applications where utility
quality HD upconversion is acceptable
