Equalization Adjustment Chapter 1: AES-6880 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution Amplifier Module
Equalization Adjustment
The AES-6880 distribution amplifier provides two options for
equalization adjustment: Manual and Aut omatic . The mode is selected
using jumper J1 near the front edge of the DA card. See Figure 1-3 on
page 4 for jumper location.
Manual Equalization
In Manual adjust mode, a card-edge, multi-turn potentiometer (R19) is
used for adjusting equalization. The Confidence flag warning on the
card-edge LED is used to determine the amount of equalization required
without external test equipment. If the Confidence flag error LED is on,
then more equalization is needed.
To increase the amount of equalization, simply use a screwdriver to turn
the Manual equalization adjustment potentiometer (R19) clockwise until
the Confidence LED indicator turns off. See Figure 1-3 on page 4 for
potentiometer location.
Automatic Equalization
In Aut omatic adjust mode, the distribution amplifier automatically sets
the amount of cable equalization needed. This mode eliminates the need
The factory default
configurations for J1 is in the
“Aut o” position, and the
Manual equalization
adjustment potentiometer
(R19) is set for zero
compensation.

to re-adjust equalization if another distribution amplifier is installed or
exchanged, or if the cable length changes.
The equalization is designed for using 2000 ft (600 m) of Belden 8281
cable or the equivalent. In practice, if the incoming signal is a standard
AES signal for coaxial cable systems, this DA can compensate up to 6000
ft (1800 m) of Belden 8281 cable or equivalent.

Error Detection and Reporting
The AES-6880 DA constantly monitors the incoming AES data stream
and reports the following error conditions via the LED indicators
mounted near the card’s front edge. LED indicators and conditions are
described in the following table:

User Configurable Contact Closure Alarm Indicator
A red LED mounted under the Error LEDs on the front edge of the DA
card provides a user-configurable Contact Closure alarm indicator.
When this LED is on, the external alarm contact closure is asserted,
indicating an error has occurred.
Jumpe rs J3A-F are used to determine which error conditions will trigger
the alarm (see Figure 1-4 below). When all of the jumpers are in place,
any of the condition errors will trigger the Contact Closure alarm to be
asserted. If one of these jumpers is removed, then the error condition
associated with the missing jumper may occur but will not trigger the
Contact Closure alarm to be asserted and the Alarm LED will not light.
Whenever the contact closure alarm is asserted, the Alarm LED will light
and an alarm Contact Closure signal will be sent out.

DNH-6800 DigiNet Hub Module
Overview
Chapter 2
The DNH-6800 DigiNet Hub module connects up to nine separate
DigiNet cable segments into one logical control network, making it
possible to span large physical distances and support a greater number
of unit nodes without degradation of signal quality due to attenuation
and return loss.
A data stream originating from a node on any one of the nine DigiNet
segments is automatically detected, reclocked, reshaped, and
retransmitted to all other segments by the DNH-6800. DigiNet’s Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) protocol is
supported by implementing independent collision detection on each
channel and by a jamming mechanism that propagates a collision event
detected on a transmitting channel to transmitting nodes on all other
channels (see Figure 2-1 “DNH-6800 Block Diagram Flow” on page 12).
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.

Connections
Channel 0 is connected to the dedicated DigiNet port (AUX B) of a given
6800 series frame. To allow several DNHs to be contained within a single
frame without excessive loading of the transceivers, it is not terminated.
Auxiliary B (Channel 0) can be disabled to allow several DNH modules
in a single frame to be isolated from each other. An external terminator
should always be installed on the frame’s dedicated DigiNet connector.

EDH-6800-2 EDH Detection/Insertion
Serial Distribution Amplifier Module
Overview
The EDH-6800-2 is a versatile serial distribution amplifier that also
functions as a digital video Error Detection and Handling (EDH) check
word analyzer and decoder. As a distribution amplifier, it provides
equalization and reclocking to eight serial outputs. As an EDH analyzer/
inserter, it can detect errors on input signals that contain EDH
information and/or insert EDH into signals where it does not already
exist.
The EDH-6800-2 functions with composite (143 Mb/s), component
(270 Mb/s), and the proposed 16:9 (360 Mb/s) standards.
With EDH recognized as a method of verifying serial signals for
impairments, the EDH-6800-2 offers a compact and cost-effective way
of monitoring EDH in serial links without using expensive laboratory
EDH analysis is not currently
available for 360 Mb/s mode.
analyzers. It also provides the means to “inject” EDH check words into
serial digital video signal paths. With its eight equalized and reclocked
outputs, the EDH-6800-2 can also be used within a system in place of a
serial distribution amplifier, with the added benefit of EDH.
Controls and indicators provide a comprehensive set of analysis
functions. With them, EDH encoding on the output signal can be turned
on or off and input presence and status are indicated. An on-board
audible alarm can be enabled to alert the user to input signal EDH errors
and an opto-isolated “contact-to-ground” signal can be used to interface
to any external fault warning system.
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.

Frame ID switches.
If EDH-6800-2 does not detect the presence of the
9000SSN Frame ID device (if none are present at the RJ11,
or if FR_ID jumpers are Off), it will attempt to use the dual
HEX Frame ID switches (SW4 and SW5) to determine the
frame ID.
SW4 is the most significant hex digit, while SW5 is the least
significant. For example, for a Frame ID of 0x42, SW4
should be set to 4 and SW5 should be set to 2. Any hex value
other than 0xFF may be used as an EDH-6800-2 Frame ID.
A Frame ID setting of 0 x FF indicates that Frame ID setting
should not be used. In the latter case, EDH-6800-2 module
network identification will be determined by the network
controller (for example, EDH view application).
EDH-6800-2 (and similar modules) should use the
following Frame ID modes, listed in order of preference:
• 9000SSN-based Frame ID
• Frame ID switches-based Frame ID
• Controller-configured network identification

Jumper Description
525/625 Forces the line standard to 525, 625, or auto.
This jumper allows you to set the EDH-6800-2
configuration to the known line standard of either 525 or
625.
Removing the jumper puts the module in Aut o mode. In
Auto Line Standard mode, the EDH-6800-2 automatically
detects the line standard and configures accordingly.
This jumper is only active if the Remote jumper is set to EN.
FF/AP Selects the FF or AP region.
This jumper allows you to select the error (Active Picture
or Full Field) which will activate the Alarm LED, the
audible alarm, and the fault reporting opto-isolated output.
This jumper is only active if the Remote jumper is set to EN.

EDH-6800-2 can support three external control interfaces:
• Local - module-edge LED, jumpers, and switches
• Network - remote control network interface (DigiNet)
• Front Panel - MIXBOX front panel interface
•The Remote EN/DIS jumper, in concert with automatic
front-panel detection, places the EDH-6800-2 into one
of the following modes:

EDH On/Off Enables EDH processing or bypass mode.
This jumper enables EDH processing (if On) or places
EDH-6800-2 into bypass mode (if Off). In bypass mode,
the EDH-6800-2 acts as a simple DA, and both input EDH
analysis and output EDH generation are disabled.

Jumper Description
Both jumpers (J5 and J8) must
be configured identically. And
all EDH-6800-2 (and similar)
modules in the same frame
must be configured ident ically
(FR-ID On or Off).
FR_ID On/Off Selects between external 9000SSN Frame ID or fault
opto-isolated output.
When set to On, EDH-6800-2 will attempt to read the
Frame ID from the 9000SSN silicon serial number device at
the FR-680X series frame RJ11 connector. When set to Off,
the EDH-6800-2 will use the RJ11 connector for the fault
reporting output (see page 32.) When both jumpers are
removed, the EDH-6800-2 is isolated from the RJ11
connector. If EDH-6800-2 does not detect the 9000SSN
device (if none is present at the RJ11 or if FR-ID is Off),
EDH-6800-2 will attempt to use the dual hex Frame ID
switches (SW4 and SW5) to determine Frame ID.

Fault Reporting Output
The fault-reporting optically-isolated output is accessible at the rear RJ11
connector of the FR-680X series frame. RJ11 pins 3 and 4 are used as
negative and positive terminals respectively.
The output is open when no errors are occurring, is closed with frame
power removed, and pulses closed for the duration of a field with EDH
errors (as configured by the FF/AP jumper).

USM-6800 PAL/NTSC Monitoring
Overview
Chapter 4
Encoder Module
The USM-6800 offers the combination of a 4 output NTSC/PAL encoder
and a 4 Output serial distribution amplifier. It is capable of removing
jitter from the 4:2:2 serial signal before encoding and conversion to
analog. The result is a clean composite analog signal which also
maintains zero SCH. Automatic switching based on the input line rate of
525 or 625 lines is provided.
The USM-6800 can also be configured to provide RGB, YUV or YC
outputs. When RGB or YUV are selected, three of the output BNCs
provide the component signal, while the remaining BNC still provides
composite analog.
When YC is selected, two of the outputs are switched to YC, the other
two remaining NTSC or PAL, depending upon the line standard in use.
An optional adaptor, which plugs into the rear BNCs, provides a
standard YC connector. The four serial digital outputs are always
present.
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.

Installation
The VEA-6840 module can be installed in any of the Leitch FR-6800
series video equalizing amplifier frames.
Termination of unused outputs are not required; however, a perfect
response can be obtained if unused outputs are terminated.
Removing and Installing the RMV Submodule
The VEA-6840-RMV has a Removable Gain/EQ submodule installed
that contains the R5 Gain Adjustment potentiometer and the R6 EQ
Adju stment potentiometer. This submodule provides a quick
card-to-card transfer of preset Gain and EQ in the event of DA card
failure or swap-out.
The RMV submodule is removed by gently pulling straight up on the
submodule card, and then “unplugging” it from the DA card. The RMV
can be installed onto the new card by plugging it into the same position
on the card as before. There is no need to readjust the EQ or Gain because
the RMV submodule retains the adjustment from card to card.

A multi-turn potentiometer Gain (R5) allows for adjustment to the gain
over a range of ±3 dB. The gain is increased when this potentiometer is
adjusted clockwise. Another multi-turn potentiometer EQ (R6) allows
for adjustment to the equalization. It is adjusted clockwise to obtain
more equalization.
A single-turn potentiometer Response (R21) allows for fine adjustment
to the high-frequency response. It is factory-set/calibrated, and
readjustment is
not recommended without precise test equipment.
These three potentiometers are located at the front edge of the module.

VPD-6830 Programmable
Video DA Series
The VPD-6830 Programmable Video DAs are a series of reliable, highperformance, specialized function DAs for some common DA
applications.
The VPD-6830 series of DAs provide a differential input, eight outputs, a
jumper-selectable input coupling mode for DC and AC coupling, soft
and hard clamping capability for composite NTSC and PAL video
signals, and a continuously variable equalization for various types of
coaxial cables.
The VPD-6830 series also features gain adjustment over a range of -3 dB
to +3 dB, and high-frequency response adjustment on the front-card
edge of the board.
Four video submodules are available for installation into the base DA
module (VEA-6840). Only one submodule can be installed at a time.
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.
