ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU
Digital Audio Converter
Overview
The ADC-6880 analog to digital audio converter converts two channels
of balanced analog audio into a single AES3-1992 digital audio signal at
20-bit resolution. It can be used in any of the Leitch 6800 or 7000 series
frames, and can be used as a standalone A-to-D converter, or in
conjunction with several A-to-D converters linked by a common
external sampling reference signal. The ADC-6880 is available with 75Ω
unbalanced digital outputs when used in the 6800 series frame, or 75Ω
unbalanced and 110Ω balanced digital outputs when used in a 7000
series frame.
The ADC-6880 utilizes a 20-bit, 64X oversampling Sigma-Delta A-to-D
converter that can sample the audio signal at 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz, based
on an external reference signal, or on an internal reference signal
generated on board. The audio signal may also be sampled at variable
rates from 32 kHz to 50 kHz, based on an external reference signal.
The input to the ADC-6880 can be AC- or DC-coupled, and the input
attenuation can be set in calibrated 2 dB increments from +16 dBu to
+30 dBu maximum analog audio input levels. A gain control allows
continuous adjustment of ± 2 dB.

Operation Chapter 2: ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter
Operation
Analog Audio Input
The ADC-6880 has two balanced audio input channels that are typically
used for stereo audio inputs (left and right). The audio input stage
processes the analog audio signal prior to its conversion to a digital
signal. In order to accommodate various nominal analog audio levels,
each input channel has a selectable attenuator that allows the full-scale
digital output level (0 dBFS) to correspond to the user’s maximum audio
signal level. The attenuator can be set in 2 dB increments from +16 dBu
to +30 dBu. The factory default setting is +28 dBu.
Gain can be adjusted on each channel over a ± 2 dB range. The gain
adjustments are set at the factory from a high-precision audio test
reference signal such that the full-scale digital output level (0 dBFS)
corresponds precisely with the calibrated selectable attenuator positions
of +16 dBu to +30 dBu (described above). The gain can be adjusted by
the user to match specific level requirements for full-scale digital audio
signal levels.
In addition to performing audio-level attenuation, the analog input stage
allows the analog audio inputs to be AC- or DC-coupled. The factory
default is AC-coupled, and this is the recommended mode of operation.
If the ADC-6880 is set to DC-coupled, any DC signal present on the
analog audio input signals will be a source of error in the A-to-D
conversion. The analog input stage rejects common mode signals that
may be present on the audio input signals and provides over-voltage
protection for the A-to-D converter.
See “Configuration”, on page 19 for detailed information on attenuation/
gain setting and AC/DC-coupled selection.

Chapter 2: ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter Operation
External Sampling Reference

The ADC-6880 external sampling reference input is a 75Ω looping BNC
input that allows multiple units to be synchronized to a common AES11
See “Attenuation Jumpers”, on sampling reference signal, such as that generated from the Leitch
page 19 for detailed information DAR-6880 reference generator. A standard AES3 digital audio signal

reference.
signal, as a reference input. The ADC-6880 can be locked to a video
signal through the use of Leitch’s DAR-6880 reference generator, which
can be locked to video.

Configuration Chapter 2: ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter
Configuration
There are several settings on the ADC-6880 necessary for proper
operation. See “Attenuation Jumpers” below.
Attenuation Jumpers
The attenuation jumpers allow the digital output signal level to be set
over a 14 dB range, from +16 dBu analog input = 0 dBFS digital output,
to +30 dBu analog input = 0 dBFS digital output, in calibrated 2 dB
increments. This range of input levels allows operators to set the
ADC-6880 such that the full-scale digital output (0 dBFS) will match
their maximum analog audio signal level.
Because the attenuation network is of sufficient precision, the gain
potentiometers do not have to be readjusted when changing input
attenuation jumper settings. This allows you to set the attenuation
jumper to the required setting without having to readjust the gain
potentiometers.

Chapter 2: ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter Configuration
To set the required level, apply jumpers

to the proper set of jumper prongs.
This example shows that 28 dBu is selected.

AC- or DC-Coupling
These jumpers allow the analog audio input to be AC- or DC-coupled.

being disturbed by a DC voltage on the analog input signal.

Sampling Reference Selection Switch

SW3 is an edge-mounted, three-position toggle switch that controls the
source of the sampling reference signal. This switch allows the sampling
reference source to be switched between Internal, External or Auto
mode. The internal sampling rate can be switched between 44.1 kHz and
48 kHz (see Figure 2-4).
Placing SW3 in the Internal mode position forces the ADC-6880 to use
one of the internal crystal oscillators as a sampling reference. Depending
on the setting of the sampling frequency selection switch (SW2), the
ADC-6880 will sample at 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz, and will not be locked to
any external sources. This mode is referred to as internal sampling or free
run mode.
The auto setting allows the ADC-6880 to look for, and lock to, an
external reference signal present on the external reference input. If no
signal is present, or if the signal becomes unusable, the ADC-6880 will
automatically switch to internal Reference mode. When the external
reference signal is present and usable, the ADC-6880 will automatically
switch back to external Sampling mode and will be locked to the external
reference signal.
The external setting forces the ADC-6880 to lock to the external
reference only. If there is no external reference present, or if it becomes
unusable, the ADC-6880 will stop sampling audio data until the external
reference is restored.
The sampling reference selection switch can be changed during
operation of the ADC-6880. The unit does not have to be powered down
to change this switch setting.
Sampling Frequency Selection Switch

The sampling frequency selection switch determines which internal
sampling reference the ADC-6880 will use when it is in Internal mode.
When in the 48 kHz position, the sampling rate will be 48 kHz.
When in the 44.1 kHz position, the sampling rate will be 44.1 kHz. See
Figure 2-6.
When the ADC-6880 is locked to an external reference, this switch will

The SW1 momentary push button located at the front edge of the
ADC-6880 initiates a reset and an internal calibration of the A-to-D
converter input circuitry (see “LED Indicators”, on page 25). The
internal calibration is also performed each time power is applied to the
ADC-6880. The SW1 button is a momentary push button that, when
pressed and released, initiates the Reset mode of the A-to-D converter
IC. It also mutes the digital data at the output of the ADC-6880. During
this reset time (approximately 1 second), the analog audio input signal is
disconnected, and the inputs are shorted to ground. This is
accomplished via relays RL1 and RL2. Inputs are not shorted to ground.
The reset procedure removes any DC offsets present on the ADC-6880
input circuit and any DC offset in the A-to-D converter IC’s internal
input stage.

Power LED
The green power LED indicates that voltage is present across the +V and
-V inputs to the ADC-6880. It does not guarantee that the input power is
within the proper ± 6.5 to ± 8.0 V input voltage range. It also does not
indicate that each of the voltage regulators is working properly.

Chapter 2: ADC-6880 Analog to AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter LED Indicators
Sampling Frequency
The green sampling Frequency LEDs indicate if the ADC-6880 is
sampling at 48 or 44.1 kHz. If the ADC-6880 is set to External Sampling
mode, and the external reference is not at 48 or 44.1 kHz, then the
ADC-6880 will indicate that it is locked to an external reference (via the
Ref. Pres. LED), but will not have either sampling frequency LED
illuminated.
This condition is valid, but the external reference signal must be between
32 and 50 kHz for the A-to-D converter IC to be able to lock to it.
External Reference Present

The yellow Ext Ref LED indicates that an external reference is present,
the ADC-6880 is locked to it and using it as the sampling reference. If the
ADC-6880 is set to internal sampling reference, then this LED will not
be illuminated, even if an external reference is present.
External Reference Error

The red external reference Error LED is illuminated when an error on the
external reference signal is detected.

Module Edge Controls and Indicators

SMPTE 272M stipulates that embedded audio must be packaged into
groups, and that each group may be comprised of a maximum of two
digital audio channels in the AES format. In turn, each AES channel is
composed of two monaural audio channels. Thus, one audio group may
contain up to four monaural audio channels. For purposes of this
manual, the main AES channels are designated as 1 and 2 and the
sub-channels as A and B. Therefore, an audio group can be thought of as
containing channels 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B.

Channel Swap Control

Two types of swap control are provided:
• A main swap which routes particular de-embedded audio channels to
specific outputs.
• A monitor swap which is used to swap only the analog outputs for
monitoring purposes. This swap does not affect the AES digital
output routing.
The ASM series modules provide the same module edge-control features
as the ADM series, but the ASM provides only analog outputs, making
the main and monitor swaps redundant. The user can use either swap to
perform the appropriate routing to outputs.
The intention of main swap control is to allow the user to appropriately
set the routing of particular audio channels to the specific output
connectors. The main swap control affects both analog and digital
outputs. SW1 enables a swap between channel pairs 1 and 2. SW2 enables
a swap between the A and B channels within each channel pair. This is
functionally illustrated inFigure 3-1 ‘‘ADM Series Modules’’ on page 36
and Figure 3-2 ‘‘ASM Series Modules’’ on page 37, and is summarized in
the table below:
Main Swap DIP SW1 DIP SW2
Main swap affects both AES and No Swaps Down Down
analog audio outputs.
Swap 1 with 2 Up Down
Swap A with B Down Up
Swap 1 with 2, Swap A with b Up Up

Monitor Swap
The monitor swap control is controlled via convenient toggle switches at
the front of the module. As shown in the block diagram, monitor swap
only affects the analog output in the ADM series. This allows the user to
monitor the analog outputs on the second channel while not affecting
the AES outputs.
Monitor swap affects the analog This is functionally illustrated in the table below:
audio outputs only.
Main Swap DIP SW2 DIP SW3
Normal Down Down
Swap 1 with 2 Up Down
Swap A with B Down Up
Swap 1 with 2, Swap A with B Up Up
Remote control of the swap feature is supported when the module is
installed in an FR-7001 frame. External contact closures are provided for
this feature. This feature is enabled by appropriately setting the Swap
Control mode Jumper, J3. See Figure ‘‘Jumper Configurations’’ on page
44 and Figure 3-6 ‘‘ADM/ASM-680X PCB Jumper and Switch Locations’’
on page 46.
Analog Output Levels

Peak analog audio levels are user-adjustable and accessible pots are
provided at the front of the modules for calibration purposes. Outputs
are factory-set to the following levels:
• European Countries: 18 dBu corresponds to 0 dBFS input (full-scale
digital)
• Other: 24 dBu corresponds to 0 dBFS input (full-scale digital)

Audio Group Selection

The SMPTE 272M standard stipulates that embedded audio is packaged
into groups. Serial video at 143Mb/s can only support one audio group,
while serial video at 270 Mb/s can support up to four audio groups. (See
the table below for the DIP switch settings.)
Audio Group DIP SW3 DIP SW4

For 143 Mb/s serial video Group 1 Down Down
applications, Group 1 must be Group 2 Up Up
selected.
Group 3 Down Down
Group 4 Up Up
Module Edge Indicator Descriptions

The ASM/ADM series modules have the following module edge
indicators.
LED
Indicator Function
VID_PRES Indicates the presence of a valid video present or input.

AUD_PRES Indicates the presence of a selected embedded audio group
(as specified by DIP switches 3 and 4).
AUD_ERR Indicates an OR function of checksum error, parity error, and
data block number error.
UNLOCKED Indicates that the audio clock PLL is not locked to the input
video signal; this indicator will also light up in the absence of a
valid video input.

jumpers are shipped in the Off position from the factory and must
both be On to enable frame ID.
Switches
SW4 and SW5 can be used to identify the frame ID if the silicon serial
number is not installed. There are 256 possible numeric combinations
provided by these switches.
Frame ID
Frame ID is read by the microcontroller on power up in the following
sequence:
1. The microcontroller first tries to read the frame ID from the silicon
serial number DS2401 placed in the RJ11 at the back of the frame.
2. If the silicon serial number is not installed, the frame ID is read from
SW4 and SW5, which are placed on the DEC/DES-6801 module and
set appropriately by the user.

DEC-6804 Decoder and
DES-6804 Decoder with Frame
Synchronizer
Overview
The DEC-6804 and DES-6804 decoders are compact, high precision
12-bit decoders that convert NTSC or PAL analog composite signals into
superior quality component (4:2:2) digital video. These decoders use
advanced Leitch Phase Quadrature Mixing (PQM™) technology for 2-D
adaptive comb filtering, and are designed for high performance and
optimal value. They are both able to process vertical blanking intervals
(VBIs) and handle super-black levels.
The DES-6804 also adds frame synchronization features and TBC
capabilities. It provides an audio sync lock with video delay and
hot-switch outputs for an audio sync interface to accommodate future
digital audio modules.

Chapter 7: DEC-6804 Decoder and DES-6804 Decoder with Frame Synchronizer Features
Features
The following list highlights the features of the DEC-6804 and the
DRS-6804:
• Analog video processing at ±6 dB gain range
• ±7.5 IRE black level
• 360° hue adjustment allowing full-range user control
• Over-sampling analog-to-digital conversion with 12-bit resolution
• TBC capabilities, locking to VHS or bad microwave feeds
(DES-6804 only)
• 2-D adaptive comb filtering utilizing the new Leitch PQM™
technology
• Automatic PAL/NTSC switching (based on input signal)
• Full VBI handling and processing (line by line)
• Test signal generation (75% color bar, FCC composite, black)
• Full compatibility with existing frames
The new Phase Quadrature Mixing (PQM™) technology provides the

residual subcarrier artifacts associated with previous comb filter
designs.
The PQM™ decoding technology is based on a set of dynamic control
signals that are derived from specific quadrature characteristics of the
source video signal. These signals are filtered and subsequently used to
modulate the summation of the original source video components, in a
balanced mixer hierarchy that mirrors the control signal quadrature
relationship.

Installation Chapter 7: DEC-6804 Decoder and DES-6804 Decoder with Frame Synchronizer
Installation
To ensure stable and trouble-free service, the DEC-6804 and DES-6804
modules have been carefully inspected, tested, and calibrated before
shipping. Check the equipment for any visible damage that may have
occurred during transit.
The DEC-6804 and DES-6804 modules are designed to operate in an
ambient temperature range of 0° to +40°C. No special provisions for
cooling are necessary, but take care to prevent excessive heat in closed,
unventilated equipment racks.
Jumper Settings
The DES-6804 module includes two jumpers: J4 and P5. The DEC-6804
module includes only the J4 jumper.

Operation
Overview
You can operate and confirm settings for the DEC/DES-6804 decoders
using the two control switches and the LED indicators on the card-edge

Controls
Two controls provide access to all of the parameter settings on the
decoders.
• The SW1 mode Select rotary switch selects all of the control
parameters.
• The SW3 Down/Up toggle switch adjusts parameter values. When you
press the switch Up, parameter values increase. When you push it
Down, parameter values decrease.

Operation Chapter 7: DEC-6804 Decoder and DES-6804 Decoder with Frame Synchronizer
LED Indicators
Most of the LED indicators operate in a straightforward manner.
However, when you make changes to your decoder settings, you must
watch the D1 and D2 LEDs together to choose the correct parameter
groups.
Because there are a large number of parameters on the DEC-6804 and
DES-6804 decoders, you need four different parameter groups for each
application. Two parameter groups are common to NTSC and PAL-B
applications, and two additional parameter groups separately apply only
to NTSC or PAL-B. See “Parameter Groups” on page 92 for more
information.
D1 and D2 LEDs
To make changes in the correct parameter groups, first watch the D1
(Bank Mark 0) and D2 (Bank Mark 1) LEDs together. The on/off
combination of these two LEDs shows which parameter group you have
selected.
For example, if the D1 LED is Off, and the D2 LED is On, you have
selected parameter group C. If the D1 LED is On, and the D2 LED is Off,
you have selected parameter group B.
The table below shows the four D1 and D2 LED combinations that
indicate which parameter group is active.

indicators and their meanings.

Changing Parameter Settings

Follow these steps to change the parameter settings on the DEC-6804
and DES-6804 decoders:
1. Set the SW1 rotary switch to 0.
2. Push the SW3 toggle switch UP or DOWN to select the parameter
group that you need.
3. Observe the D1 and D2 LED combination to ensure that you have
selected the correct parameter group.
4. Rotate the SW1 switch to the number or letter that corresponds with
the parameter you are selecting.
5. Push the SW3 switch UP or DOWN to change the parameter value
while observing the results on a waveform monitor or vectorscope.

Chapter 7: DEC-6804 Decoder and DES-6804 Decoder with Frame Synchronizer Parameter Groups
Parameter Groups
When you change parameter options on the DEC-6804 and the
DES-6804 modules, you need to access different parameter groups. The
first two groups of parameters (A and B) are common to both NTSC and
PAL-B. In addition, there are two separate parameter groups (C and D)
for both NTSC and PAL-B.
Synchronization and genlock parameters shown in the parameter
groups apply only to the DES-6804 module.

Deserializer and FIFO Delay

The serial digital video enters the module through a 75 W terminating
BNC connector. The serial reclocking input stage removes high
frequency jitter and also auto-equalizes cable losses (up to 300 m of
cable) in case of a 270MHz 4:2:2 serial signal. The remaining low-
frequency portion of the jitter is removed by the 27 MHz parallel clock
PLL loop that supplies the read clock for the U20 FIFO chip. The
function of the 5K word length FIFO is to adjust the module's delay
between the minimum latency and a maximum 2.9 horizontal line delay.
The on-board FIFO can be switched to Line-store mode up to one full
line, and in this case, the reference has to be within one line range. The
module's functionality can be expanded by adding the 6801FS-IO frame
synchronizer sub-board to the A1 connector.

Block Diagram Chapter 8: ENC/ENS/ENX-6801/M Encoder Modules and Accessories
Multi-Standard Encoder and Output Buffer

The multi-standard digital video signal encoding is done in U17
TDS6294 encoder chip. The encoder is capable of encoding all legal
colors which fulfill the diamond display with adequate headroom. The
adjustable parameters are listed. See “User-Controlled Parameters” on
page 116 for more information. There is a user adjustment group that
allows the user to correct luminance chrominance balance and hue if the
input signal requires correction. However, by a disable function, the
encoder can be easily switched to the Calibrated mode. The output of the
12-bit resolution D/A has a ±10% adjustment range. The U39 output
buffer can drive four double-terminated cable and has a cable pre-
equalization range of up to 50 m cable length.
Genlock
The composite output video is automatically color-frame locking. If a
blackburst reference signal is present, no selection is necessary. The
serial digital signal and the reference have to be frequency-locked and
the phase difference has to be within ±5 video lines for stable color-
frame locking. When color-frame locking is established, the phasing
adjustment range is according to specifications and referenced to the
serial digital input source.

Function Description
*5 Controls fine phase for ENC/ENX-6801. For fine phase control
of ENS-6801, use potentiometer on front of plug-in
submodule.
*6 Controls are disabled for PAL-M standard.
*7 • Increase refers to the SCH phase adjustment by 90°
increments from 0° to 270°.
• Decrease adjust the SCH phase in the opposite direction:
both of these adjustments are for PAL signals.
• NTSC signals will change to 0° or 180° phasing when
selecting either increase or decrease.
Delay Mode
In Line Delay mode, the clock used to input to the memory buffer is
derived from the input signal. The clock used to output from the
memory buffer is also derived from the input signal. In this mode,
high-frequency jitter is removed at the input reclocking circuit, but
low-frequency jitter will pass right through the entire unit.
Line Store
In Line Store (i.e. line synchronizer) mode, the clock used to input to the
memory buffer is derived from the input signal. The clock used to
output from the memory buffer is derived from the input genlock signal.
In this mode, high-frequency jitter is removed at the input reclocking
circuit, and the low-frequency jitter is removed through the frame
buffer.
Input Signal
The modules are shipped in line Delay mode because the timing
relationships within the system are not known. If the input signal is not
advanced less than one line in time from the destination, the line
synchronizer in the encoder cannot provide the correct picture position.
Output Signal
The output signal will either “slip” a line up or down depending on
whether the signal is arriving at the destination early or late.

Frame Buffer
The frame buffer is analogous to a bit bucket with the input signal never
overfilling or running slow enough to allow the bit bucket to empty and
having a steady output at all times. The delay through the frame buffer
will always be somewhere around a frame. If the bit bucket (i.e. frame
buffer) overfills or empties, there will be a frame “slip”.
Line Buffer
The line buffer is analogous to a tiny bit bucket with the input signal
possibly overfilling or not being able to fill up this tiny bit bucket. The
delay will always be around a line. If the line buffer overfills or empties,
there will be a line “slip”.

Operation
The seven segment LED display and discrete LEDs (on the front edge of
the board) show the current status of the MXA-6801-A2/A4. The LED
readout displays abbreviated names for the functions/parameters
selected by the Rotary Switch (SW1).
The MXA-6801-A2/A4 has three operating modes (OS1, OS2, OS3) and
the SW1 is used to select specific functions/parameters within them. For
more detailed information on functions/parameters, the SW1 and the
use of the Toggle Switch (SW2).
See “Control Parameters Summary” on page 142 and “Control
Parameter Details” on page 147 for more information.

*When the analog input level is greater than 23.3 dBu (approximately
-1 dBFS), a peak detector light will turn on for the corresponding input.
A peak detector light will increase in brightness as the input level
increases from 23.3 dBu, a light flicker to fully bright. If occasional peaks
are seen on the input, a peak detector light may flash on for a period of
time. The period of time is dependent upon the duration of the peak.
Reduce the gain or input signal level to avoid clipping.

Toggle Switch and LED Display Operation

Any function/parameter (embedding mode, embedding group, gain, or
delay) can be adjusted with the Toggle Switch. Moving the Toggle Switch
(SW2) down or to the left decreases the value of the parameter. Moving
the SW2 up or to the right increases the value of the parameter. If the
value of a parameter is negative, all decimal points are lit. When the
maximum value of a parameter is reached, the value wraps around to the
opposite end of the range: up/down or left/right, depending on which
way the PCB was installed (vertically or horizontally).

Swapping Channels via Remote Control

The GPI swap controls are available only when the MXA is used in an
FR-7000 frame. To control channel swapping from the GPI, set the
Remote/Local jumper to Remote. The default position for the Remote/
Local jumper is Local. When the jumper is set to Local, the GPI controls
will not function. When the jumper is set to Remote, the Hex switch
swap controls will not function. The GPIs are active low.
To swap AES1 Left/Right with AES2 Left/Right, or Channel A Left/
Right with Channel B Left/Right, the Channel GPI control should be
enabled.
The Left/Right GPI control should be enabled in order to swap AES1
Left with AES1 Right; AES2 Left with AES2 Right; Channel A Left with
Channel A Right; or Channel B Left with Channel B Right. When the
Left/Right GPI control is asserted, both left/right pairs are swapped.
Audio Embedding
All MXA modules embed audio data into one audio group at a time,
filling positions W, X, Y and Z. See Figure 9-13 “Audio Group” on
page 157 for more information. The group embedded is selected using
the Hex switch on the module edge.
The MXA-6801-A2 accepts only two audio channels: Channel A Left
and Channel A Right. Positions W and X are used for Channel A Left
and Right, respectively. When using the MXA-6801-A2, audio group
positions Y and Z are muted. Since the MXA modules embed audio in
four channels at a time, it is not possible to use a second MXA-6801-A2
to fill positions Y and Z with additional audio data.
The MXA-6801-A4 accepts four audio channels: Channel A Left,
Channel A Right, Channel B Left, and Channel B Right. These channels
are embedded in positions W, X, Y, and Z, respectively.

Operations Chapter 10: VFS-6801 Serial Component Frame Synchronizer Module
Operations
The following controls and indicators are located at the front edge of the
module:
Controls
• The HEX switch (SW1) allows you to select the control parameters.
(See “Switch Settings” on page 168.)
• The Adjuster two-position up/down toggle switch (SW2) allows you
to adjust the parameter values.
• The Service Push button allows you to locate the position of the
particular module in the network when one or multiple VFS-6801 or
any other modules are linked together over a 75Ω network (DigiNet)
and connected to the central controller (PC or Leitch DigiNet panel).
LED Indicators
• The 625 Auto 525 - 360, 270, 143 LEDs (green) show the standard as
follows: the 525/625 LEDs indicate a detected standard if the Auto
LED is On and a forced line standard if the Auto LED is Off.
• The Data Pres LEDs (green) lights to indicate that a valid source of
serial digital video is present at the input of the module.
• The Service LED (amber) lights for a short time upon power up but
remains off during normal operation. If the Service LED is blinking or
continuously on, a hardware failure has been detected.
Jumpers
• ICLK: The ICLK jumper is not used.
• OCLK: The OCLK jumper has to be installed.
• Frame ID: Frame ID is made possible by reading the silicon serial
number (if installed in the RJ11 at the back of the frame). The two
jumpers are shipped in the Off position from the factory and must
both be in the On position to enable reading of Frame ID.

Chapter 10: VFS-6801 Serial Component Frame Synchronizer Module Operations

VTS-6801 Video Timing Switcher
Overview
The VTS-6801 is a dual digital video timing switcher. The VTS can be
used as a digital line delay, a 2-by-1 clean-switch router, and as a backup
video switch. When the VTS is used as a back-up video switch, on
detection of loss of video or a “noisy” video input, the VTS routes the
other program input source or black to the program output. The VTS
can be genlocked to either program input or an external analog
reference. The VTS also includes two GPIs, which can be used to control
each 2-by-1 cleanswitch.

Toggle Switch and Hex Switch Operation

Any function (switching standards or reference source), can be adjusted
by using the Toggle Switch (SW2). If SW2 is mounted horizontally, it is
adjusted Up/Down. If it is mounted vertically, it is adjusted Right/Left.
Holding the SW2 down decreases the value of the function. Holding SW2
'up' increases the value of the function. When the maximum value of a
function is reached, the value wraps around to the opposite end of the
range. Turn the Hex switch, SW1, to the positions listed below to modify
the value of the functions indicated.

1 Lock mode Lock mode can be set to 525, 625, or Auto Detect. In Auto Auto
mode the system detects the standard of the chosen
reference and automatically sets the system standard.
Setting the Lock mode to 525 or 625 forces the system to
the selected standard. If any input conflicts with the set
standard, an error light will be illuminated for that
particular input.
2 Horizontal This allows for horizontal timing adjustments or delays 0 sec

Delay between the serial input video and the output. The
adjustment is made in (37 ns) increments or decrements.
Since both serial inputs are locked together horizontally,
this affects both video streams.
3 Replace When enabled the other SDI program is routed to the Disabled
Serial program output when the currently selected SDI program
input signal is not lockable. If Insert Black is also enabled
on breakup or loss of signal, Video Black is routed to the
program output. If Replace Serial is disabled, PGM Input
1 is routed to PGM Output 1 and PGM Input 2 is routed
to PGM Output 2 regardless of the state of the input signal
(and regardless of the setting of Insert Black).
4 GPI 1 When GPI 1 is enabled (and the GPI 1 input is asserted). Disabled
Enable the PGM Input 2 is switched to PGM Output 1. If the GPI
1 input is de-asserted, then PGM Input 1 is routed to
PGM Output 1. If GPI 1 is disabled, then GPI 1 Input is
ignored.
5 GPI 2 If GPI Input 2 is asserted, then PGM Input 1 is switched to Disabled

connected to J1, then debug messages will be transmitted
from the VTS to the RS-232 port. Set the computer
terminal interface to no stop bits, 8 bits, and 1 parity bit

should not be accessed during normal operation.

Delay B) is set for “Output other PGM Input”, the Time Delay is
set to X value other than 0 sec (0 to 15 sec in 0.5 sec
increments).
When either output is replaced by Serial Input on PGM 1 IN
or PGM 2 IN due to signal loss or noisy signal, it will take X
amount of time to recover from the moment when the
original Input signal is fed back to PGM 1 IN/PGM 2 IN.
Example:
• When PGM 1 IN is lost, PGM 2 IN is fed to PGM 1
OUT until PGM 1 IN becomes continuously valid
throughout the delay time.
• Once valid and delay time has passed, it will switch
back to PGM 1 IN to PGM 1 OUT.
• The process is identical for PGM 2 IN.

Input Switching with GPI Controls Chapter 11: VTS-6801 Video Timing Switcher
Input Switching with GPI Controls

Input switching between the two sets of outputs is controlled through
the use of GPI inputs 1 and 2. Each GPI control determines the switching
of one video input. The effect of a high or a low from each GPI control is
also affected by the polarity option of SW1, positions 6 and 7.
The following tables describe the actions and effects when the polarity is
active high, the opposite of this is true for a polarity of active low. If the
GPI signal is low, then the input is passed straight through to its
appropriate output. In contrast to this, if the GPI signal is high, then the
input is switched to the opposite output. Shown below are the possible
combinations of GPI controls and the input which appears at each
output.
Polarity Active High

GPI 1 = low GPI 1 = high GPI 1 = low GPI 1 = high
Polarity = Active High
GPI 2 = low GPI 2 = low GPI 2 = high GPI 2 = high
Video appearing at Output 1 Input1 Input 2 Input 1 Input 2
Video appearing at Output 2 Input 2 Input 2 Input 1 Input 1
Polarity Active Low

GPI 1 = low GPI 1 = high GPI 1 = low GPI 1 = high
Polarity = Active Low
GPI 2 = low GPI 2 = low GPI 2 = high GPI 2 = high

Chapter 11: VTS-6801 Video Timing Switcher General Issues
General Issues
If the VTS is used as a back-up switcher or as a clean-switch router, the
External Analog Reference should be used as the board reference.
If the VTS is used as a back-up switcher, a certain amount of noise on the
PGM inputs will be rejected. The PGM output will switch back and forth
between the primary video input and the secondary video input, if the
primary signal is intermittently noisy.
The VTS processes the video sync information on the PGM inputs to
prevent the PGM outputs from failing under moderately noisy
conditions.
If the PGM inputs contain illegal data during the active picture area, the
VTS will legalize the video data.

This mode embeds audio after EAV. The audio is embedded as specified
group number (EMBED_GROUP), and any existing auxiliary data
packets (ADP) not using the ADS area used by the audio groups is kept
(if an ADP is located just after the EAV, it is overwritten with the new
embedded audio group).
Fragments may remain in the ADS if the audio group partially
overwrites an existing ADP. This is not a problem for most De-Muxes,
but may cause odd behavior in some equipment.
EMBED_GROUP will not be embedded and an error will be reported if
the group specified already exists in the ADS.
