These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing both front module and back connector, ensure that the back connector is installed first before plugging in the front module. Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before removing the back connector. See the FR6802+ Frames Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating an FR6802+ frame and its components.A FR6802+RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800+ series frames) option is recommended for the CTT6800+ modules. See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for installation instructions.

Upgrading Module FirmwareFirmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules. CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ or a 6800+ETH module.In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, and so on), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in “Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure” on page 23.

Upgrading the FirmwareYou can upgrade your 6800+ module’s firmware using the Software Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.

Chapter 3

Configuration and Operation

OverviewThis chapter describes how to operate the CTT6800+ using card-edge controls or by using CCS Navigator.The following topics are discussed in this chapter:• “Operating Notes” on page 28• “Adding a License Key” on page 28• “Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails” on page 29• “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 29• “Configuration Settings” on page 32For detailed information on how to operate this product remotely, see the CCS Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator, or NUCLEUS Network Control Panel, LCP-3901-1U/RCP-CCS-1U manuals for Ethernet interface.CTT6800+ does not support + Pilot Lite software; however, you can use HTTP monitoring and control (6800+ETH+HTTP). To use 6800+ETH+HTTP (especially if you are upgrading to 6800+ETH+HTTP in the field), you must have the following:• 6800+ETH firmware version 3.0 or higher• A PC connected to a LAN with a JavaScript-enabled web browser such as

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0• A FR6822+QXF frame installed and connected to the LAN• A standard 100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable segment

(use a “crossover” RJ-45 cable to connect to a PC, or a normal “straight-through” RJ-45 cable to connect to an Ethernet hub/switch)


Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation

For more information, see Appendix B: “HTTP Monitoring and Control” on page 77. For detailed information, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.

Operating NotesWhen you set the control parameters on the CTT6800+, observe the following:• When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module

requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

• Terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75Ω connector.

Adding a License Key

Note

For assistance with a license key, or to purchase a license key, contact your Sales representative. See “Checking the Packing List” on page 15.

To enter a license key, your CCS software must be in Control mode. 1. Select the CTT6800+ module in the Navigation pane.2. Right-click, and then select Control to open the module’s Control window. 3. Select the Parameters tab. 4. Select General in the tree view, and then type your license key in the License

Key field.If your license key is valid, the Installed Options field displays the features that are activated on the module.



Q-SEE Compliant ThumbnailsThe CTT6800+ supports Q-SEE compliant thumbnails. To use Q-SEE compliant features, you must install the CTT6800+ in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH module. When you open a Control dialog box in Navigator for the 6800+ETH module, all Q-SEE compliant modules provide thumbnails on a Video Streaming tab. In addition, the CTT6800+ module’s Control dialog box have a new Streaming tab where a thumbnail, updated at up to three frames per second, is displayed. For more information on Q-SEE compliant thumbnails, see your FR6802+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.

Changing Parameter SettingsThere are two ways to change the parameters that control your module’s operation: CCS Navigator and card-edge controls.Using CCS Navigator, you can view, set, and confirm your module’s parameter settings from your computer’s monitor. Using the card-edge controls, you can set parameters using the module’s rotary hex and navigation switches. Use the information in this chapter to configure and operate your CTT6800+ using a CCS software application or the module’s card-edge controls. For more information about setting parameters using CCS software application or by using the module’s card-edge control, see “Changing Parameters Using CCS Navigator” on page 29 and “Changing Parameter Settings Using Card-Edge Controls” on page 30. A complete list of CTT6800+ control parameters can be found in Chapter 4: “Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms” on page 39.

Changing Parameters Using CCS NavigatorBefore using CCS Navigator to change your module’s parameter settings, you must discover the module. Discovery is the processes by which your software finds, and then connects to your module.

Discovering an CTT6800+ Module Using CCS NavigatorTo discover your module, your Navigator software must be in Build mode. 1. If the Discovery pane is not open, select Tools > Discovery in the main menu.

A Discovery pane opens, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen.



2. Click Options, and then click Add.3. Enter the IP address of the frame that contains your module, the frame that

contains your ICE6800+ module, or the frame that contains a 6800+ETH module that provides access to your module.

4. Click OK, and then OK again to close the Discovery Options dialog box. 5. Click Start.

Navigator runs a discovery. 6. When your discovery is complete, Discovery Completed is displayed in the

Discovery pane. To continue, click Save to save the contents of your discovery to the Discovery folder of the Navigation pane.

You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click CTT6800+ in the Navigation pane. The Control dialog box appears.

Changing Parameter Settings Using Card-Edge ControlsUse the module’s rotary and navigation switches to change CTT6800+ parameter settings at the card edge. You can view and confirm your changes using the On-screen display feature (see “Activating On-Screen Display” on page 31).1. Rotate the mode select rotary switch (hex switch) to “0.”2. Once the hex switch is set to “0,” toggle the navigation switch up or down to

select a bank. View the four control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected.

4 Off Off On



3. Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) of the option you want to set.

4. Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter.

5. Do either of the following:• Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current

bank, and then repeat step 4.• Rotate the hex switch to “0” again to select a different bank, and then

repeat steps 3 and 4.Throughout this chapter, in the Parameter Navigation sections, the bank and hex switch positions for each configuration setting are listed in square brackets (for example, [0, 2]) beside or below the parameter name.

Note

Use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.

Activating On-Screen DisplayYou can use the On-Screen Display (OSD) Monitoring feature to view the current parameter selections on your output display. When the On Screen Display parameter under OSD is turned on, the current parameter selections are displayed on the module’s SD/HD/ASI OUTPUT2. This feature makes configuring the CTT6800+ using the card-edge controls much easier. To activate On-Screen Display (OSD) Monitoring, change the On Screen Display (0, 1) parameter to On. Set the OSD Transparency (0, 2) parameter to a value from 0 to 15.

Recalling Default Parameter SettingsYou can use the module’s Factory Recall parameter under System Config to return all of the module’s parameters to factory default settings. In the CTT6800+ control parameter list (see “CTT6800+ Control Parameters” on page 39), each factory default setting appears in bold.To return this module to its default settings, set the Factory Recall parameter (0, F) to Recall.

Viewing Software and Hardware VersionsYou can see the current software and hardware versions of the CTT6800+ by checking the Hardware Version and Firmware Version read-only parameters located at the end of the parameter list (see “CTT6800+ Control Parameters” on page 39). These parameters appear in the OSD and on CCS-enabled control panels.

Configuration SettingsThe following section provides information about configuring the CTT6800+ modules. It includes the following:• “Configuring in Transmit Mode” on page 32• “Configuring in Receive Mode” on page 36If you switch the CTT6800+ module from one mode to the other, the configuration settings for each mode are maintained. You do not have to reconfigure the module each time you switch modes.

Configuring in Transmit ModeFor a full list of transmitter parameters, see Table 4-1 on page 40.

Transport StreamUse the parameters found in ASI > Stream Setup to set up and monitor the transport stream data rate.



Program-Specific Information (PSI)Adjust the parameters found in ASI > PSI to set the program IDs (PID).

In addition, you can add descriptive data in the following parameters:• Program Number• Program Description• Stream ID

Table 3-2. Transport Stream Parameters

Parameter DescriptionStream Bitrate Specifies the maximum bitrate.

Note: The value in this parameter increases automatically to accommodate the minimum required bitrate to transport all data types. The data rate includes all data types (audio, video, and so on), and PSI tables.

Stream Type Selects either a constant bitrate (188 bytes CBR) or a variable bitrate (188 bytes VBR).

J2K Max Bitrate Displays the currently-allocated maximum bandwidth for JPEG2000 video data transmission. The value calculated based on the Stream Bitrate value minus the bandwidth that is required to transmit all of the other data (ANC, audio, COM data, and PSI tables).

ANC Bitrate Displays the currently-allocated bandwidth for ancillary transmission.

Table 3-4. Video Parameters

Parameter DescriptionJ2K Min Bitrate Sets the minimum bitrate threshold for J2K.

J2K Y/CrCb Ratio Sets the ratio of the amount of luminance versus chrominance data within the J2K-allocated bandwidth. 100% means only luminance data is transmitted; 0% means only chrominance data is transmitted.

J2K Max Bitrate Displays the total J2K bitrate and it is the sum of the luma and chroma video bitrates. The maximum supported J2K bitrate is 190 Mbps. The luma and chroma component of the video is handled by two different J2K encoder/decoder chips. Each chip supports a maximum bitrate of 130 Mbps. The J2K Y/CrCb Ratio parameter adjusts the bitrate allocation between the two J2K encoder/decoder chips. As a result, the J2K Max Bitrate value might be reduced if the J2K Y/CrCb Ratio value is adjusted to the extreme ends of the ratio to account for each video component's maximum bitrate limit.

Propagation DelayAll modes: Between 4 and 6 frames.Note the following:• This propagation delay value applies to a CTT6800+ transmitter/receiver pair

operating in a point-to-point configuration without any third party equipment (such as muxes, routers, RF modulators, and so on) in the ASI transmission path.

• Once the receiver output is locked to the transmitter’s SDI input timing (the receiver relocks each time a mode change is detected, or when the receiver is power cycled), the propagation delay remains constant over the course of the program.

• Power cycling the transmitter causes the receiver to relock, which changes the propagation delay within the specified range.

• Changing the bitrate does not affect the propagation delay.

Power ConsumptionThe power consumption for CTT6800+ modules is <13 W.

Operating TemperatureThe operating temperature for CTT6800+ modules is 41° to 113°F (5° to 45°C).

Communication and ControlTroubleshooting Tips

OverviewFind the following troubleshooting information in this appendix:• “Software Communication Problems” on page 73• “Hardware Communication Problems” on page 75

Software Communication ProblemsThe frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with CCS Pilot/Navigator.Solutions• Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.

See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification.

• Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame.• FR6802+ frames only use ICE6800+ modules to communicate with CCS

software and hardware.• FR6802+QXF frames use ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH modules to

communicate with CCS software and hardware.


Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

• Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame.CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the “+” symbol on their extractor handles.

• Check for bent pins on the back module by following this procedure:a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module.c. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back

module (Figure A-1 on page 74), and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.

d. Carefully reposition any bent pins; If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.

Figure A-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector

CCS software sees the frame, but does not find all of the modules.Solutions• Remove any legacy 6800 series products.



• Plug your modules in before starting the discovery.• Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully powered up.

CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.Solution1. Set the module’s Local/Remote jumper to Remote.2. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the module type in

the frame. 3. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly

and powered up.4. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.

Hardware Communication ProblemsAfter a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate.Solution1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure.2. Close the CCS software, and then restart the PC.3. Restart the software application.

The module does not seem to work.Solutions• Ensure the correct frame is powered up.• Verify that all appropriate rear connections are secure.• Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated

properly.• Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure:

a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module.c. Inspect the spring connector at the bottom of the back module

(Figure A-1), and verify the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.

d. Carefully reposition any bent pins; if this is not possible, contact Customer Support.




Appendix B

HTTP Monitoring and Control

OverviewThe 6800+ETH+HTTP option provides HTTP control and monitoring for 6800+ frames and modules. Like other control options that use the 6800+ETH module, 6800+ETH+HTTP can control modules in the frame where the 6800+ETH+HTTP module is installed.For more information, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.This section includes the following topics: • “System Requirements for 6800+ETH+HTTP” on page 77• “Configuring 6800+ETH+HTTP for HTTP Control and Monitoring” on

page 78• “Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP” on page 79• “Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTP” on page 83• “Discovering HTTP Devices in CCS Navigator” on page 86

System Requirements for 6800+ETH+HTTPTo use 6800+ETH+HTTP (especially if you are upgrading to 6800+ETH+HTTP in the field), make sure that you have the following:• 6800+ETH firmware version 3.0 or higher• A PC connected to a LAN with a JavaScript-enabled web browser such as

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0• A FR6822+QXF frame installed and connected to the LAN


Appendix B: HTTP Monitoring and Control

• A standard 100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable segment (use a “crossover” RJ-45 cable to connect to a PC, or a normal “straight-through” RJ-45 cable to connect to an Ethernet hub/switch)

Configuring 6800+ETH+HTTP for HTTP Control and Monitoring

For the details, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.

To configure the 6800+ETH for HTTP control and monitoring1. Discover the 6800+ETH module.2. If required, add the HTTP License key.You are now ready to control and monitor your 6800+ devices using a web browser. See “Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP” on page 79.



Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP

1. In your browser window, enter the IP address of the 6800+ETH module and click Enter to connect. The 6800+ Control Interface appears.

Figure B-1. 6800+ Control Interface Screen

If the 6800+ETH module is off or in a failed state (that is, disconnected), then you will see a “file not found” message.



2. Click Enter. If necessary, you can enter a license key now.The initial Control screen will appear similar to the following:

Figure B-2. 6800+ETH+HTTP Control Window

The left side of the screen displays a nested menu of all the sub-devices found at that IP address. If you click the + beside a frame, you can see a list of up to 20 modules contained in that frame. If you click the + to the left of a module, there are three folders, which contain the parameters, alarms and configuration information available for each device. You can click on any of these nested items to go straight to the options on that page of the interface.

NoteNames of items in the navigation tree cannot be changed within the HTTP interface.

The upper right side of the screen updates to display the path of the currently displayed contents. You can click portions of the path to navigate backwards. The lower right side of the screen updates to display the controls available on the selected level.



3. Click a frame link in either the left or right pane. A Frame View window opens.

Figure B-3. Frame View in the 6800+ Control Interface

The Frame View window has two tabs, Status and Alarms. The Status tab graphically represents the major components in the frame. • Slot Status—Each slot that contains a module displays the name of that

module. If a module is a double-slot module, the name will appear in the main slot, and the adjacent slot that is also taken up displays Empty. Any empty slots also display Empty. You can click on the slot that contains a module to see parameters, alarms, and a Configuration page for that module. If a module has an alarm condition, that module’s slot appears red.

• Fan Status—Displays red if the fan has failed. • Fan Installed—Displays Installed if fans are present. • Power Supply Status—Displays a red box if the power supply has failed.



• Frame Alarm—Displays True if the frame has an alarm condition; False if the frame has no alarm condition.

The Alarms tab lists the six alarms that are associated with the frame (four fan alarms and two power supply alarms). Each alarm has a status indicator and a button to enable or disable the alarm.

4. Click a module in the tree view at the left side of the screen, or a slot in the Frame View, to view controls specific to that module.

Figure B-4. Module Parameters in the 6800+ Control Interface

Controls are divided into three groups: • Parameters—Often these are further subdivided so various pages of

parameters appear in the right portion of the page, with nested sub-directories on the left. Each module has specific controls. See the documentation for your module(s) to view complete descriptions of the module’s unique controls.

• Alarms—Displays control settings for all alarms on the module, input, or frame. Depending on the type of module, controls and options may vary. See each module’s documentation for complete descriptions.

• Configuration—Contains the following options:



• Version—Read-only display of hardware and software version for the module.

• Presets—Allows you to save and load pre-defined parameter settings on a module-by-module basis. See “Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTP” on page 83 for more information.

• Input—Appears on QSEE6800+ modules only. Open the + to see all the module inputs to the QSEE6800+ module. Each module has its own Parameters, Alarms, and Configuration options.

Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTPA preset is like a snapshot of a module’s parameters. You can create a preset from one module, and then load it onto another module of the same type (that is, if you have a frame full of ENC6801+ modules that you want to configure the same, you could configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that preset to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings). Presets are saved by the monitoring computer, normally either on a system or network drive, not on the module itself. Presets store data for an individual item. You can create an HTTP preset for any single module, but not for a group of modules or an entire frame. You can create a preset for a QSEE6800+ module, but that will not contain parameter/alarm settings for the inputs to that module. Each QSEE6800+ input can have a preset made for it. HTTP presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform other normal functions just like any other file.

Creating a PresetYou can create a preset for any module you can browse to. You cannot create presets for multiple modules at the same time, or for the entire contents of a frame.

To create a preset, follow these steps1. Browse to the module for which you want to create a preset.



2. Open the + beside that module so that the Configuration folder is visible, and then open the + beside the Configuration folder so that the contents of the Configuration folder are visible.

Figure B-5. Preset Folders in the 6800+ Control Interface

3. Click Preset in the Configuration folder of the module. In the main screen, there are two buttons, Load Preset and Save Preset. If your module is a QSEE6800+ module only (not an input to a QSEE6800+, but the parent module only) two extra options appear on this window (see Figure B-6 on page 85). • Root Device - Created preset will contain settings for the QSEE6800+

module only, with no sub-device parameters or settings• Root and Sub Devices - Created preset will contain settings for the

QSEE6800+ module and all sub-devices4. Click Save Preset.

Depending on your browser configuration, normally another browser window will open. This window contains the contents of your preset file.

Preset options are available when you click here



5. In your browser’s window, click File > Save As, or follow your browser’s procedure for saving the contents of the page. By default, your preset file will inherit the name of the frame connected to the 6800+ETH module followed by the name of the module. By default your preset will be saved in the last-saved location on your network or system drive. You can choose a different location using your browser’s tools.

Your preset is saved. You can now load it to another module of the same type, or e-mail it, or archive it, and so on.

Loading a Preset to a ModuleThe process of applying the settings included in a preset file is referred to as Loading.

To load a preset file to a module of the same type1. Browse to the module for which you want to load a preset. 2. Open the + beside that module so that the Configuration folder is visible, and

then open the + so that the contents of the configuration folder are visible. 3. Click Preset in the Configuration folder of the module.

Information similar to this appears on the screen:

Figure B-6. Presets in HTTP Browser

4. Click Browse, and then use the tools to find and double-click the preset you want to load. The path and file name you have selected appear in the field beside the Browse button.

These options appear for QSEE6800+ modules only



5. If the preset you are installing is from a module of the same type but with a different version, select Disable Checking of interface version to apply the preset. This option is deselected by default.

6. Click Load Preset. If the file you have chosen is a preset for the correct device, the preset is applied to the module. If the preset does not match the selected device, you will see an error message on the screen.

Discovering HTTP Devices in CCS Navigator If you discover your 6800+ETH+HTTP as an HTTP device, you can open a web browser window from within the Navigation pane for control and monitoring purposes. 1. In the Options > Discovery window, select the IP address for your

6800+ETH+HTTP module and click Modify. The Modify Host dialog box opens.

Figure B-7. Modify Host Dialog Box

2. In the Modify Host dialog box, select HTTP, and then click OK to close the Modify Host dialog box, and again to close the Discovery Options window.

3. Click Start to run a discovery. 4. When your discovery is complete, click Save to transfer the results of the

discovery to the Navigation pane. In Navigator’s Control mode, you can now double-click on the 6800+ETH+HTTP to open a web browser window to monitor the connected frame and modules.
