The HMX6801+ module can be upgraded in Boot Loader mode only. CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The HMX6801+ must be installed in a frame that contains or is connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ module. When performing the upgrading procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the HMX6801+ module. If for some reason the upgrade fails, 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 Upgrade Procedure” on page 20. Follow these steps to upgrade a HMX6801+ module’s firmware:1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our

Web site or from your CD-ROM.2. Remove the HMX6801+ module from the 6800+ frame.3. Set the hex switch to F.

Figure 3. Buttons on a Typical Card Edge

4. While pressing the Navigation toggle switch down, reinsert the HMX6801+ module into the frame and then release the Navigation toggle switch.

5. Perform a Discovery operation to discover the HMX6801+ module, as described in your CCS software application manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the HMX6801+ module using the Discovery tool, see “Discovering Devices Using the Drag-and-Drop Method” on page 19.)

6. From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade. The Software Upgrade window opens or is brought to the foreground.

Figure 2-3. Typical Software Upgrade Tool New Transfer Tab

7. On the New Transfer tab, click Add.The Device Selection dialog opens.

8. Select one or more HMX6801+ devices, and then click OK to close the Add Device dialog box. When adding modules to the list, keep in mind the following points: • You can only add one module per IP address. All modules in up

to nine frames that are connected to the same ICE6800+ module have the same IP address.

Click Device Options to enter Telnet and FTP user name and password or create automatic backups.

Click Package Info to view a list of the components contained in the ZIP file.



• You can only upgrade one device type: e.g., you can add a series of HMX6801+ modules that all reside at different IP addresses.

The selected devices appear in the table on the New Transfer tab of the Software Upgrade window. This table lists devices that are to receive the upgrade package.You can click on an individual item in the list to view module-specific information: • To highlight the position of a module in the Navigation

window, click Find Device. • To check the module’s software revision numbers, etc., click

Version Info. • To create an automatic backup of the selected module’s

firmware, click Device Options.... (Place a check beside Software Backup and enter a file name or click Browse to choose a new file location.)

9. Press Browse... to select the software upgrade package (ZIP file). A standard Windows File Selection dialog opens.

10. Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive. The selected file’s path name is displayed in the edit box to the left of the Browse… button.The extraction process on the ZIP file is handled as part of the upgrade process. You do not need to extract the files yourself.

11. Press Submit Transfer... A dialog box opens, requesting confirmation that you want to proceed with the request. If you have multiple devices selected, multiple transfer tasks are submitted—one per device.The transfer now progresses. You may close the Software Upgrade window, continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to view the status of the transfers.

12. Click on the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly updated.

13. When the update is complete, reboot the HMX6801+ module by manually pulling it out and then pushing it back into its slot in the frame. You cannot click Reboot Device to reboot HMX6801+ modules.

NoteClosing the Software Upgrade window does not effect any transfer processes that may be running in the background. However, if you try to log off or exit the CCS software while a transfer is underway, a notification window will alert you that processes are still active and will ask if you want to terminate these processes.



Your upgrade procedure is complete. If for some reason the upgrade fails, 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 Upgrade Procedure” on page 20.

Discovering Devices Using the Drag-and-Drop MethodIf you cannot discover your HMX6801+ module using the Discovery tool, use this method to discover it:1. With your CCS software in Build mode, drag or copy and paste the

module’s device icon from the Catalog folder into the Network or Discovery folder.

2. Right-click the device icon and then select Properties. 3. On the Device tab of the Navigation Properties box, enter the IP

address of the frame that holds the module. (See Figure 3.)

Figure 3. Navigation Properties Box

4. In the third field, enter the slot number of the HMX6801+ module, and then close the window.

You can now continue upgrading your HMX6801+ module’s firmware, starting with step 3 in “Upgrading HMX6801+ Firmware” on page 16.

Correcting a Failed Upgrade ProcedureFirmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if files were sent to the wrong 6800+ module.These problems can be corrected by re-installing the firmware while in Boot Loader mode, as described below. When you are performing this procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the HMX6801+ module.Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware in Boot Loader mode: 1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our

Web site or from your CD-ROM, and then unzip the upgrade package.

2. If the HMX6801+ module has not been discovered by your CCS software application, enter Build mode, and then discover your module using the drag-and-drop method. See “Discovering Devices Using the Drag-and-Drop Method” on page 19 for more information.

3. Double-click the device icon for the HMX6801+ module. The Configuration... box opens. On the File Transfer tab, the /frameX/slotY (where X is the frame number and Y is the slot number) directory appears in the Select the device directory to transfer to: field.

4. Click Add, and in the Add Upgrade Files box, browse, select the HMX6801+ module’s upgrade package and then click OK.

5. On the File Transfer tab, choose the file you wish to upgrade and then click OK.

6. Click Perform Transfer and then click Yes.This may take several minutes.

7. When the message File transfer to device succeeded appears in the status bar, reboot the HMX6801+ module by manually pullling it out and then pushing it back into its slot in the frame. You cannot click Reboot Device to reboot HMX6801+ modules.

Your upgrade procedure is complete.

NoteTo successfully upgrade the firmware, you must follow these steps in the exact sequence described.

NoteYou must delete unwanted files in the Add upgrade files for transfer to device: field before transferring the files. Otherwise, the upgrading procedure will fail.

Operation

OverviewThis chapter describes how to operate the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 using card-edge controls only. See the following documents for information on how to operate this product remotely:• + Pilot Lite User Manual for serial interface• CCS Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator, or NUCLEUS Network Control,

LCP-3901-1U/RCP-CCS-1U Local and Remote Control Panel manuals for Ethernet interface

The following topics are discussed in this chapter:• “Operating Notes” on page 22• “Audio Processing Information” on page 23• “Non-PCM Processing” on page 32• “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 38• “Setting HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 Control

Parameters” on page 40• “LEDs and Alarms” on page 61


Chapter 3: Operation

Operating NotesWhen setting the control parameters on the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4, observe the following:• If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters

may also be affected. See the section “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 33 for more information.

• 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.

• When you set the Factory Recall parameter to Yes, the module takes several seconds to reset all of the parameters to their default settings.

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

• Reclocked/processed output selection for Output 1 is not currently supported. Output 1 is a processed-only output.

See the following topics for more operational information:• “Audio Embedding Modes” on page 23• “Audio Embedding Errors” on page 28• “Audio Output Channel Status (OutxxStat)” on page 28• “Input Channel V-Bit Feedback (InxxVbitFb)” on page 29• “Audio Embedding Channel Source Selection” on page 29• “Input Audio Rate” on page 30• “Channel Summing (PCM Processing only)” on page 30• “Non-PCM Processing” on page 32



Audio Processing Information

Audio Embedding ModesThe audio embedder component in the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 is composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks:• One ancillary data stripper (ADS)• Two audio embedding subcomponentsThe first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding.Following the ADS block are two separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.The audio embedding modes are G1EmbMode and G2EmbMode. Table 3-1 briefly describes the Off, Append, OverWrt, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes.

Table 3-1. Embedding Mode Options

Options DescriptionOff Disables embedding of the selected audio group

Append Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary region(This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded does not already exist.

See Figure 3-1 on page 25 and Figure 3-2 on page 26 for more information on Append embedding mode.



OverWrt Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data(This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists.)In this setting, if the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data packets for deletion (DID word will be set to 180h).To avoid sample distribution issues, enable the ADS Clean feature.

See Figure 3-3 on page 27 for more information on OverWrt embedding mode.

Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same audio group number; failing that, appends the new audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packetRefer to the G1Exists, G2Exists, G3Exists, and G4Exists parameters to determine what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI signal.

Audio Embedding ErrorsTable 3-2 describes G1-2AppErr and G1-2OvrWtErr audio embedding errors.

To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:• Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be

overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are actually warnings that the desired operation is not being performed.

• In SD-SDI mode do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples. The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature provided.

Audio Output Channel Status (OutxxStat)Table 3-3 describes the three parameter options for audio output channel level status.

Table 3-2. Audio Embedding Error Descriptions

Error DescriptionG1-2AppErr Occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a

particular audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI signalIn this case, the embedder will not embed another audio data and control packet of the same audio group, as this will result in incorrect audio sample distribution.

G1-2OvrWtErr Occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group does not exist in the incoming SDI signal

Table 3-3. Audio Output Channel Level Status Options

Options DescriptionPeak Audio output level has reached a level of 0 dBFS.

Silence Audio output level is lower than -96 dBFS.

Normal Audio output level is between the Peak and Silence threshold levels.



Input Channel V-Bit Feedback (InxxVbitFb)Table 3-4 describes the two parameter options for input channel V-bit (Validity bit) status.

Audio Embedding Channel Source SelectionOn the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 modules, the following audio source selections are available for each OutxSrc parameter:• AES 1A• AES 1B• AES 2A• AES 2B• AES 3A*• AES 3B*• AES 4A*• AES 4B*• AES 1 Sum• AES 2 Sum• AES 3 Sum*• AES 4 Sum*• Test Tone 1 (750 Hz, -20 dBFS)• Test Tone 2 (1.5 kHz, -20 dBFS)• Test Tone 3 (3 kHz, -20 dBFS)• Test Tone 4 (6 kHz, -20 dBFS)

Table 3-4. Input Channel V-Bit (Validity-Bit) Status Options

Option DescriptionOn V-bit of the incoming audio channel set to 1; indicates that

the audio sample word data is invalid (or possibly compressed audio) and is not suitable for D/A conversion

Off V-bit of the incoming audio channel set to 0; indicates that the audio sample word data is valid and is suitable for D/A conversion

NoteItems marked with an “*” apply to HMX6801+B4/C4 options only.

NoteOut1-4Src output channels correspond to Embedder 1 and Out5-7Src channels correspond to Embedder 2.



If any of the AES input channels are of a Non-PCM format, then a channel summation (AES × Sum) of the channel for any OutxSrc is not a valid selection. For example, if AES 1A or AES 1B (or both) are Non-PCM, then AES 1 SUM is not a valid selection for any OutxSrc parameter. See “Non-PCM Processing” on page 32 for the handling of Non-PCM input channels.

Input Audio RateWhen embedding audio in PCM mode (OutxxFrmt = PCM or OutxxFrmt = Auto and OutxxFrmFb = PCM), the input audio sample rate may be from 32 kHz to 96 kHz. This input audio will be sample rate converted to 48 kHz prior to embedding in the HD video signal; as well, the embedder will indicate 48 kHz in the “Rate” word of the audio control packet for each embedded audio group.When embedding audio in Non-PCM mode (OutxxFrmt = Non-PCM or OutxxFrmt = Auto and OutxxFrmFb = Non-PCM), the input audio sample rate must be 48 kHz and frequency locked to the source video. In this scenario, the sample rate conversion function is bypassed and the embedder will indicate 48 kHz in the “Rate” word of the audio control packet for each embedded audio group.

Channel Summing (PCM Processing only)If you select AES 1 Sum, AES 2 Sum, AES 3 Sum, or AES 4 Sum as the source, the result is the sum of the two parts of the channel divided by two (the mean average).For example, AES 1 Sum = (AES 1A + AES 1B) ÷ 2Therefore, the stereo signal is averaged, creating a monaural signal. See Figure 3-4 on page 31 for an illustration of this process.

Non-PCM ProcessingCompressed non-PCM audio signals cannot be summed and averaged out. Therefore, if you select one of these options, the sources that appear in the Out01Src to Out08Src parameters are arbitrarily matched odd/even to left/right.Example:AES 1A and AES 1B inputs are of a non-PCM format, and AES 1 Sum is selected for the Out01Src and Out02Src parameters. Since the Non-PCM channels cannot be summed and averaged, then the output channel assignments are as follows:• Out01Src is assigned AES 1A (matched Odd number to Left

channel)• Out02Src is assigned AES 1B (matched Even number to Right

channel)When channels are operating in Non-PCM mode (for example, compressed audio such as Dolby-E mode), the following parameters are disabled for the associated channel:• Gain (forced to 0 dB)• Invert (forced to No)• Dithering (forced to None)• Word Length (forced to 24-bits)See “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 33 for full parameter descriptions.When operating an output channel in Non-PCM mode, the sample rate conversion function of the associated input AES channel is bypassed.

NoteThese parameters are enabled for channels operating in PCM mode.



Cross-Functional Parameter ChangesWhen you configure certain parameters, you force a change in other associated parameters. Table 3-5 describes those parameters affected by other option selections. Note that the forced setting (center column) takes effect before the identified parameter (right column) becomes enabled/disabled.

Parameter Availability based on Operating Mode

Depending on whether the operating mode is HD or SD, some parameters will be enabled and some disabled. The HD parameters will apply when SdiStdSet is set to one of the HD operating modes, or when the SdiStdSet is set to Auto and SdiStdFdbk is one of the HD operating modes. The SD parameters will apply when SdiStdSet is set to either SD 525 or SD 625, or the SdiStdSet is set to Auto and SdiStdFdbk is SD 525 or SD 625.

ADS Clean ParameterDepending on the setting of the ADSClean parameter, the EMB1Mode and EMB2Mode parameters will have different options.

Channel DitheringWhen any audio output channel is of a Non-PCM format (Output Chxx Format=Non-PCM or Output Chxx Format=Auto and Out Chxx Format Fb=Non-PCM), the Dithering feature for that channel pair (1-2, 3-4, etc.) is disabled, even if only one channel of the pair is Non-PCM. Both channels in the pair must be of a PCM format for the Dithering feature for that channel pair to be re-enabled.For example, if Output Ch01 Format is set to Non-PCM (or Output Ch01 Format=Auto and Out Ch01 Format Fb=Non-PCM), then output channel pair 01-02 has dithering disabled (Out 01-02 Dithr Mode is set to None and the parameter is disabled), even if Output Ch02 Format is PCM. If both Output Ch01 Format and Output Ch02 Format are changed to PCM, then the Out 01-02 Dithr Mode parameter is re-enabled.

Channel Word LengthIf in HD mode, the default value for all ChXX-XXWordLen parameters is 24-bits. In SD mode, it is 20 bits. In SD mode if at least one channel is set to 24-bits, the corresponding embedder will enable 24-bits embedding.

Channel Fade RateThe channel fade rate is a single control for all output channels. This feature is only applied to output channels operating in PCM format. It is automatically disabled for individual output channels operating in Non-PCM format.



Changing Parameter SettingsFollow these steps to change the HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 parameter settings: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 three control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected.

See Table 3-9 on page 41 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values.

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. Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then repeat step 4.orRotate the hex switch to “0” again to select a different bank, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.

Module Status LEDsThe HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 modules do not have dedicated card-edge alarms. Instead, module status LEDs on the corner of the module light up if an error is detected. See Figure 3-5 on page 61 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 3-14 below for a definition of the LED colors.Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example, + Pilot Lite or Pilot). See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

NoteIf the LED is flashing red, please contact your product Customer Service representative.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting Tips

General Troubleshooting StepsFollow these steps in troubleshooting 6800+ product problems:1. Review the “Common Problems and Suspected Failures” on

page 81 outlined in this chapter.2. Search this product manual and other associated documentation for

answers to your question.Product documentation (including manuals, online help, application notes, erratas, product release notes, and more) can be found on our Web site at www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch (Support section), along with technical support information, training information, product downloads, and the product knowledge base.

3. Contact your Customer Service representative if, after following these initial steps, you cannot resolve the issue.To contact Customer Service, see “Contacting Customer Service” on page 83.

NoteAssociated documentation for 6800+ series products can generally be found in the product-specific manual that accompanies every module, in the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual, and in the 6800+ Safety Instructions and Standards Manual.




Common Problems and Suspected Failures

+ Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed ModulesConfirm that the following items are not the reason for the communication failure:• Proper module slot has not been specified (+ Pilot Lite is not

communicating with the appropriate slot). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on slot identification.

• COM port is used elsewhere (+ Pilot Lite is not communicating with the correct COM port).

• Actual Slot ID and Frame ID do not match with the two DIP switch settings in back of frame (+ Pilot Lite is not communicating with the appropriate slot and frame). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on Slot ID and Frame ID DIP switch settings.

• ICE6800+ module is installed in the frame (+ Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800+ module is installed in the frame; ICE6800+ modules are used for CCS control).

+ Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in FrameIf a discovery is started too soon after frame power-up, + Pilot Lite will not find all the installed modules. Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh), and ensure that installed modules are fully powered-up first before discovery.

+ Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding+ Pilot Lite and CCS applications cannot run on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but only one can be opened at a time.



+ Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window

Consider these questions:• Did you physically configure the module for local control? If so,

configure the device for remote control.• Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the positioning

of the module in its slot in the frame.• Does the Control window indicate the device is “ready”? The

device may be powered off or disconnected from the network.

+ Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports “Not Ready” + Pilot Lite reports each device’s connection status in the status bar. If the connection status message reads “Not Ready,” check the following:• Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the position of

the module in the frame.• Is the frame connected to the network? Check the device’s network

connection.If the status bar still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or device, try restarting + Pilot Lite.

CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does Not Communicate with Module

CCS software applications (such as Pilot, CoPilot, and Navigator) and remote control panels require the purchase and installation of an ICE6800+ module in an FR6802+ frame in order to communicate remotely via Ethernet.

Alarm Query Fails When a Device RebootsWhen you reboot a device connected to your PC, the alarm traffic hitting the network may cause an alarm query request to time out and fail. While the query does not automatically retry, it will post an “Alarm query failed” message to the Diagnostics window.To clear an “Alarm query failed” message, right-click inside the Diagnostics window, and then select Refresh from the resulting context menu.



Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure

Have you exited the software application and restarted the PC since the frame recovered from its power failure? To restore communications between the PC and the frames, ensure that the frames have three or more minutes to recover from the power failure before you exit the application and restart the PC.

Module Does Not Seem to WorkAlthough the following troubleshooting tips may seem obvious, please take the time to ensure the following:• All appropriate rear connections are securely made• The board is securely installed (with no bent pins)• The frame is turned on
