1 Introduction
Product Description
The MDP6801+D module supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals. It converts GPI trigger bit input
into VANC (using the Inserter mode), or GPI output from VANC (using the Extractor mode),
over the ancillary packets of Inter-Station Control (ISC) as per ITU-R BT.1685, ATC (Ancillary
Time Code) based on SMPTE 12M-2, or SCTE104 (2010) messaging standard.
The MDP6801+D can work in either Inserter Mode or Extractor Mode, defined by the user at
setup.
Inserter Mode
Using the Inserter mode, the MDP6801+D inserts GPI Trigger bits into the ISC packets of the
VANC signal. In addition, several types of metadata packets are inserted into the VANC SDI
input signal with the appropriate software license keys:
The Inserter mode is normally used at broadcasting network centers, where output video
with inserted metadata packets in its VANC space is distributed to affiliates.
Extractor Mode
In Extractor Mode, the MDP6801+D extracts GPI Trigger bits from the ISC packet of the
VANC signal. In addition, several types of metadata packets can be extracted from the VANC
SDI input signal and output to their respective physical ports with the appropriate software
license keys:
The Extractor mode is normally used at broadcasting network affiliates, to extract metadata
received from the Network center.
Ports
The MDP6801+D module supports up to 16 GPI ports. The module supports
user-configurable inputs/outputs, which correspond to Insert/Extract mode, respectively. The
module also has one SDI input and two SDI output ports, as well as support for two
independent user configurable Serial ports.
The two serial ports for CC and SCTE104 separately can be configured as single RS-422 or
RS-232 transceivers. Additional options support insertion/extraction of Serial Closed
Captions (CEA-608/CEA-708) to/from VANC CDP CC708, insertion/extraction of LTC or
D-VITC to/from ATC, and insertion/extraction of serial SCTE104 to/from VANC SCTE104.
Closed Captioning, Time Code, and SCTE-104 functions are all softkey upgrades to the
base MDP6801+D GPI insertion/extraction function.
Main Features
Insertion Mode
Inserts up to 16 GPI trigger bits inputs into the VANC of the SDI signal, following the
ITU-R BT.1685 standard with default DID=43H and SDID=01H.
Inserts up to 16 GPI inputs using the SCTE-104 (2010) messaging standard into the
VANC of the SDI signal
Inserts serial data over SCTE-104 messages into the SDI signal
Inserts serial closed captions (CEA-608/CEA-708) into VANC CDP CC708 of the SDI
signal
Inserts LTC or D-VITC into the ATC of the SDI signal, and optionally, inserts up to 16 GPI
inputs simultaneously
Extraction mode
Extracts up to 16 GPI (trigger bit) outputs from VANC Inter-Station Control, ATC, or
SCTE104 of the SDI signal.
Extracts serial data over SCTE-104 messages from the VANC of the SDI signal
Extracts serial closed captions (CEA-608/CEA-708) from the VANC of the SDI signal
Extracts LTC and D-VITC from ATC of the SDI signal
Additional features
Auto detects SDI input presence and format
Supports signal quality monitoring (SQM)
Supports Q-SEE compliant thumbnail and alarms
Provides two independent RS-232/RS-422 serial ports with user-selectable baud rates
When switching between insertion or extraction (follow General > Working Mode to set
the mode), the module will automatically reboot; softkeys can be enabled at any time
during extraction or insertion.The default Working Mode is Inserter.
The MDP6801+D provides separate parameter presets for Inserter and Extractor; the two
modes do not share the same preset function.

CAUTION: To maintain proper temperatures, ensure that the front panel is closed at
all times and that the fan module is fully operational.
Rear support extension rails (option FR6802+RM) are recommended to support the weight
of cabling. See your Frame Installation and Operation Manual for general information about
installing back modules in a frame.
CAUTION: Before installing this product, read the 6800+ Series Safety Instructions
and Standards Manual available on our website, or on the Harris Infrastructure and
Networking Documentation DVD. This safety manual contains important
information about the safe installation and operation of 6800+ series products.
During removal, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame first, before
removing the rear module.
The MDP6801+ module converts GPI trigger bits in the SDI signal to GPI signals (“Extractor”
Mode) or the reverse (“Inserter” Mode).
Note: The ANC packet (ISC/ATC/SCET104) is always carrying the “Active” status of
GPI input, rather than the practical input level .
In some cases, there may be a spark, or small short pulse on the GPI wires, which can be
considered “noise.” The MDP6801+D includes a Glitch Filter, which filters out this signal
noise in a set window (or duration), and in so doing, adds extra delay.
GPI In Filtered
Delay = Glitch Filter Window Delay = Glitch Filter Window All short pulses
are filtered
Figure 2-3 Glitch Filter Window
An extension makes it possible to add four interlaced fields or four progressive frames to
ensure the GPI active state is long enough for sampling downstream.
GPI Ext In
Processing captures the rising edge of the
signal ; duration is not relevant .
GPI Ext Out The active duration is extended to four fixed fields (interlaced )
or four frames (progressive ).
On the Extractor side, where the GPI information is extracted from the signal, the GPI
output timing is slightly different, depending on the different carriers.
The following ISC, ATC and SCTE104 diagrams explain the basic principle of GPI
transmission by comparing the GPI input processed signal of the Inserter to the Extractor
GPI output signal. The GPI Input Processing reflects the state of the internal signals in the
module. The GPI signals are extracting directly from the ANC packet from the Extractor
module. These also are the internal signals of MDP6801+D module, and NOT the final
output signals.
The video latency of the MDP6801+D is extremely small; the video timings of the input and
output signals can be considered identical in the same module.

GPI Delay & Hold processing re-builds the GPI output waveform. It is only capturing the
Rising edge of the “GPI Out Extracted” signals.
The GPI Delay & Hold Processing Mode parameter (see Figure 2-9) has three options:
Bypass (for ISC and ATC) transparently transfers the waveform for each GPI.
The Static option (for ISC, ATC and SCTE104) re-generates the waveform for each GPI,
following the set parameter values of GPI Out Static Delay Duration and GPI Out
Static Hold Duration.
When the Dynamic option is selected, the values are taken from the received SCTE104
packet, which contains two parameters: Pre-roll Time and Break Duration. The
waveform for each GPI is re-generated following the values in the last received and
matched SCTE104 packet, with Pre-roll Time as the Delay Duration and Break
Duration as the Hold Duration (see Figure 2-9).

Table 2-5 describes two important parameters of SCTE104 which result in different GPI
transmission results.
Dynamic Matching
To transfer GPI with one-to-one mapping (GPI In 1 to GPI Out 1, GPI In 2 to GPI Out 2,
etc.) over SCTE104, it’s possible to use the Dynamic Matching option in the GPI Inserting
Mode parameter.
Certain parameters can be used as the Dynamic Matching source, such as AS Index, DPI
PID Index, etc.
On the Extractor side, the related GPI Output is only triggered when the packet with the
correct Dynamic Matching source value is received.
Note: The mapping of the GPI output for Dynamic Matching is defined by the system; it
cannot be re-defined. For example, if you use AS Index for dynamic matching, then if AS
Index has a value of 1, it will trigger GPI Output 1; if AS Index has a value of 2, it will
trigger GPI Output 2, etc.
SCTE104 GPI transmission uses “packet triggering,” rather than “over-sampling” (as used by
ISC and ATC). Only one GPI input can be transferred in one video frame. If several GPI inputs
become active within one video frame, only the GPI with smallest index is recognized. In
other words, GPI 1 has the highest priority.

Operation
1 Select the proper carrier for GPI transmission (at General Purpose Interface > GPI Input
Settings > GPI Input Destination).
Options are Inter-Station Control, ATC, and SCTE104.
2 Set the GPI In Glitch Filter Window parameter.
3 Set the GPI In x Trigger Type parameter (General Purpose Interface > GPI Input
Settings).
Options are Off, Rising Edge, Falling Edge, Active High, and Active Low.
4 If the carrier setting is Inter-Station Control:
a Set Data Output > Inter-Station Control > Inter-Station Control Output Control
to Insert.
b Configure proper settings for the packet embedding, such as ISC Output DID, ISC
Output SDID (hex), ISC Output Line, etc.
OR
Note: Because SCTE104 GPI transmission utilizes “packet triggering” (rather than the
“over-sampling” method used by Inter-Station Control or ATC), only one GPI input can be
transferred in one video frame. If several GPI inputs turn active within one video frame, only
the GPI with smallest index is recognized (GPI 1 has the highest priority).
ISC Transmission
The following table indicates the value of each word in the ISC packet for BT-1685
compliant.
Timecode Transmission
The MDP6801+D offers the following timecode transmission features:
Insertion
Conversion of linear timecode input or D-VITC input to VANC ATC LTC, or ATC VITC
output
Insertion of the timecode generator into VANC ATC LTC, or ATC VITC
Re-mapping VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC input to VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC output
Insertion of up to 16 GPI inputs into VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC
Extraction
Conversion of VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC to LTC output and D-VITC output
When the MDP6801+D module is operating in the insertion mode, you can remap the
input ATC LTC or ATC VITC to the output side. This remapping makes it possible to insert
GPI trigger bits into the input ATC LTC or ATC VITC, so that it’s not necessary to use
another ANC packet such as Inter-Station Control or SCTE104 to transfer the GPI.
Note: Remapping the ATC as described above results in a one-frame delay of ATC content.
The serial closed captioning input/outputs are compliant with RP2007-2007 (CC CDP and
Grand Alliance serial interface). The supported baud rate for serial CC is the following
Note: When the VANC CC Output Control parameter is set to Insert, the existing CC data
in the VANC space of the incoming video is automatically removed. It is then replaced by
the converted Serial CC data and embedded in the designated line in the VBI.
SCTE104 Transmission
The MDP6801+D inserts local serial SCTE104 input into the VANC SCTE104 packets when
in inserter mode, and extracts VANC SCTE104 packet to serial SCTE104 output when in
extractor mode.
The MDP6801+D supports the following serial SCTE104 baud rates: 4,800, 9,600, 19,200,
38,400, 57,600, and 115,200
Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the MDP6801+D, note the following:
If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be
affected or become disabled. See MDP6801+D Control Parameters on page 24 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.
The softkey options for this module (SCTE104 over GPI, timecode, and closed
captioning) operate independently of each other, and any or all options can be used
simultaneously
When switching between insertion or extraction (follow General > Working Mode),
the module will automatically reboot; softkeys can be enabled at any time during
extraction or insertion
The MDP6801+D provides separate parameter presets for insertion and extraction; the
two modes do not share the same preset function
To change the parameter settings at the card edge, instead of using software or
browser-based controls, follow these steps:
See the MDP6801+D insertion and extraction parameter lists (available on our website and
on the Harris Infrastructure and Networking Documentation and Product Resources DVD to

Power Consumption
Total power consumption for the MDP6801+D is 5.8 W.
Problem
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with CCS Navigator or the
web GUI interface.
Solutions
Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.
See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about
slot identification.
Confirm there is an 6800+ETH module (version 4.8 or later) installed in the frame.
Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame.
CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even if these
modules may operate with card-edge controls in the frame. Legacy 6800 products do
not have the “+” symbol on their extractor handles.
Check for pressed pins on the back module by following this procedure:
i. Unplug the front module.
ii. Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module, and
verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.
iv. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Harris Customer
Support.
Problem
The frame is powered up, but Pilot Lite does not communicate with the module.
Solution
Verify whether there is a 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. (Pilot Lite serial control is
disabled if a 6800+ETH control module is installed in the frame.)
Problem
The IP address of the frame has been forgotten.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
3 Use CCS Navigator or the web browser to interface with the ETH6800+ module and then
set the desired IP address.
4 Set the DIP switch back to its normal position and then re-insert the module.
Problem
There is no Ethernet connection to the frame.
Solutions
Verify that the correct IP address is being used. If your are not certain, refer to the above
procedure to set to default IP.
Verify that the ethernet cable is the correct type (a crossover cable is required for direct
connection from a PC).
Verify the Link and Activity (left and right) status LEDS are active on the RJ-45
connector at the rear of the frame.
Verify the Status LED is lit and green on the ETH6800+ card, as viewed from the front
of the frame with the door open.
Verify that the security settings on the PC allow for connection to a frame (TCP port 80
and UDP ports 4000/4050 must be open).
Verify that the PC is configured for and can communicate on the desired subnet.
Problem
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.
Refresh the CCS software and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up
first before discovery.
Problem
CCS Software does not respond after it is launched.
Solutions
Close any CCS software that is already launched.
Problem
CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
Problem
After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
1 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.
Problem
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. Then
verify the Status LED on the module is lit and green.
Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure:
i. Unplug the front module.
ii. Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Note: Pressed pins are will not affect the functionality of the product.
