Introduction
Overview
The SFS6800+ processing modules provide full video and embedded audio synchronization to a local station reference signal and allow for clean processing of all signals. The modules support embedding, de-embedding, and passing of Dolby E metadata, and picture and sound control through integrated processing amplifiers. The basic SFS6800+ provides SD-SDI video and audio synchronization and delay, and there are optional upgrades to 1.5G HD-SDI and 3G HD-SDI. Another optional upgrade adds four channels of AES input and output audio to the module. Each SFS6800+ package includes a module-specific breakout cable with unbalanced (coaxial) audio connectors that expands the number of available connections beyond what would fit on a standard two-slot back connector. A breakout cable with balanced audio connectors is also available. Both breakout cables include an RS-232/RS-422 serial connector to embed or de-embed metadata. The following topics are described in this chapter: Product Description on page 2 Module Descriptions on page 4 Signal Flow on page 12

Product Description
The basic SFS6800+ Audio/Video Frame Synchronizer and Processing Amplifier accepts one SD-SDI digital video input and one genlock reference video input, and four synchronized and processed SD-SDI outputs with embedded audio. With the HSFS6800+ order option or a SFS68OPT-HD license key, the module can also input and output 1.5G HD-SDI. With a SFS68OPT-3G license key, the module can input and output 1.5G HD-SDI and 3G HD-SDI in addition to the basic SD-SDI. Another option key adds four AES inputs and four AES outputs. All versions of SFS6800+ provide video hot switch and I/O delay signals for separate downstream audio tracking modules. SFS6800+ can be operateded locally (using card-edge controls); or operated and monitored remotely with control software applications such as CCS Navigator, HTTP web browser, or third-party SNMP-based control applications, or CCS-compliant remote control panels such as NUCLEUS. The module is QSEE-compliant, so you can monitor a thumbnail it is when installed in an Ethernet-equipped FR6802+QXF frame. The SFS6800+ back connector requires two frame slots within an FR6802+XF or FR6802+QXF frame. There is no backward compatibility provided for use with 6800/7000 series frames or FR6802+DM frames. SFS6800+ must be installed in a frame with fans.

SFS6800+ modules have double-width back connectors that can be installed in an FR6802+XF or FR6802+QXF frame. SFS6800+ modules cannot be installed in an FR6802+DM frame, a FR6800/7000 frame, or a frame without fans. See the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for details on installing back connectors in an FR6802+ frame. A FR6802+RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800+ series frames) option is recommended for the SFS6800+ modules. See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for installation instructions.
Installing and Removing Modules

These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if installing both front and rear modules, ensure that the back module is installed first before plugging in the front module. When removing both the front and rear modules, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame first, before removing the rear module. See the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating an FR6802+ frame and its components. See the 6800+ Safety Instructions and Standards Manual for important information about safely installing your module.
Once you have installed your SFS6800+ modules, you can connect them to the appropriate input and outputs.
Upgrading Module Firmware

This modules firmware can be updated using CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator version 3.1.1 or higher, or the HTTP software upgrade tool. In order to perform these upgrades, your frame must be equipped with a 6800+ETH module. See your frame manual for more information.

Operation
Operating Notes
When you set the control parameters on the SFS6800+, observe the following: If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See Cross-Functional Parameter Changes on page 32 for more information. When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.
Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails

When installed in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH resource module, SFS6800+ module control windows have an extra Streaming tab in CCS Pilot and Navigator (version 3.2.1 or later). There you can view output video from the module. In addition, video from the SFS6800+, displayed at up to three frames per second, can be displayed on the 6800+ETHs control page, and (for CCS Navigator only) on Graphical Navigation pages. Thumbnail streaming is not supported for the following video standards: 1080i 60 720p 60 1080p 24/25/29.97/30 1080psf 23.98/24 1080p 50/59.94/60

To enter a license key to activate AES audio or 1.5G HD and/or 3G HD video, your CCS software must be in Control mode. 1. Select the SFS6800+ module in the Navigation pane, right click, and then select Control to open the modules Control window. 2. Select the Parameters tab. 3. 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, which in this case is HD, 3G, and/or AES.
Audio Metadata Embedding and Deembedding

Audio metadata embedding and deembedding applies to SD and 1.5G HD video standards only. The Metadata Embedding Enable and Metadata Embedding Line Number parameters are disabled when the incoming video is 3G HD.
20

Fast Video Switch

When input video is switched between two sources while both sources are within vertical blanking, use the Fast Switch parameter to enable fast video switching between the sources. In this mode, output video is not frozen when both sources are within the vertical blanking area when the switch takes place.
Note
Enabling or disabling the Fast Switch parameter will cause a momentary disturbance in both video and audio output.
When the input video standard is 525, the Fast Switch parameter is set to Disabled, and it is unavailable for selection. When in other standards, the parameter is available.
Audio Test Tones

Table 3-1 describes the frequency and levels of each audio output test tone, available as a selection from each of the Output Ch (116) Source Select parameters (see page 52): Table 3-1. Audio Test Tones Test Tone

Description
Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder repeats the last good AES sample. Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder mutes the current outgoing AES sample.
Audio Embedding Modes

The audio embedder component in the SFS6800+ is composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks:
One ancillary data stripper (ADS) Four audio embedding subcomponents

21
The 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 four 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 Audio Group (14) Embedding Mode parameters (see page 50). Table 3-3 briefly describes the Append, OverWrt, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes. Table 3-3. Embedding Mode Options Options
Append
Description
Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary region (see Append Embedding on page 22) Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data (see Overwrite Embedding on page 25) Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet (refer to the Audio Group (14) Exists parameters on page 41 to determine what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI signal)
OverWrt
Auto
Append Embedding When you select Append embedding, the SFS6800+ attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to be embedded does not already exist.

This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. 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).
Note
To avoid sample distribution issues, activate the ADS Clean feature (see ADS Clean Parameter on page 32).

Audio Embedding Errors

Table 3-4 describes Group (14) Append Embedding Error and Group (14) Overwrite Embed Error audio embedding errors (also see page 50). Table 3-4. Audio Embedding Error Descriptions Error
Group (14) Append Embedding Error
Description
This error occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI signal. In this case, the embedder does not embed another audio data and control packet of the same audio group, as this will result in incorrect audio sample distribution.
Group (14) Overwrite Embed Error
This error 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
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 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 V-Fade
To enable a smooth deembedded audio V-fade transition when switching video sources, set the Audio V-Fade parameter to Enable, and the Audio LOV Output Mode parameter to Mute.
Note
AES outputs in this mode are not AES11 alignment compliant and are not aligned with video. For proper operation in this mode, set the user delay parameters for all audio channels (Processing > Audio > Delay) to the same value.
For a smooth audio V-fade transition in embedded audio outputs, also set the ADS Clean parameter to Yes.

27
Input Audio Rate (With the AES Option Only)

Audio input parameters are available with the SFS68OPT-AES license key. To purchase optional license keys, contact your Sales representative. When embedding audio in PCM mode (Audio Ch [116] Format = PCM or Audio Ch [116] Format = Auto and Audio Ch [116] Format Feedback = 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 (Audio Ch [116] Format = Non-PCM or Audio Ch [116] Format = Auto and Audio Ch [116] Format Feedback = Non-PCM), the input audio sample rate must be 48 kHz, and it must be 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.
Video Frame Synchronization

The frame synchronizer offers two modes of operation: Delay mode and Synchronizer (Sync) mode. These modes can be chosen using the Frame Sync Mode parameter. (See page 45.) In Delay mode, the output video is synchronized to the input video. In Sync mode, the output video is synchronized to the reference video. The reference standard you can use depends on the output video standard you have set, as outlined in Table 3-5.
Note
Any other combination of reference and output standard triggers a Mismatched Output/Ref Standards alarm.

In both Sync mode and Delay mode, SFS6800+ provides several controls to manipulate the output video signal: Horizontal timing Vertical timing Adjustable frame delay Options to determine the output video behavior on loss of input video, including pass, black, and freeze Manually freeze output video on first or second field (interlaced standards), or on the whole frame (all standards)
Audio Synchronization
By default, SFS6800+ synchronizes de-embedded or AES input audio with timing information from the video frame synchronizer prior to re-embedding the audio. (See page 47.) If you deactivate the Audio Sync Enable parameter, you can output unprocessed, unsynchronized audio. You can set the Audio LOV Mode parameter so that the audio is either passed or muted in the event of loss of video.

29
Synchronizing Embedded Dolby-E

SFS6800+ firmware version 2.4 and higher adds the capability to synchronize embedded Dolby-E without the need for deembedding, decoding, encoding and re-embedding. This can be accomplished for input video with frames rates of 30Hz or less. To deembed synchronized Dolby-E to AES outputs, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the Frame Sync Mode parameter is set to Sync Mode. 2. Set the Fast Switch parameter to Disable. 3. Set the Output AES 1-4 Source Select parameter to one of the Output Demux Ch xx options, where xx is the embedded pair containing Dolby-E. To pass synchronized, embedded Dolby-E to the SDI outputs, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the Frame Sync Mode parameter is set to Sync Mode. 2. Set the Fast Switch parameter to Disable. 3. Set the ADS Clean parameter to No. 4. Disable the audio embedder associated with the incoming embedded Dolby-E by setting one of the Audio Grp 1-4 Pair 1-2 Embed Control to Disable. For example, if Dolby-E is present in group 1 pair 1 (ch 1-2) of the input video, set the Audio Grp 1 Pair 1 Embed Control parameter to Disable.
Audio Path
You can reassign each of the 16 embedded audio channels, and the 4 AES output channels (with the AES option), to one of the following output channels: Input Ch (1 to 16) In Pair (1 to 8) Sum AES In (1A to 4B) (with AES option) AES In (14) Sum (with AES option) TstTone 400 Hz TstTone 1 kHz TstTone 2 kHz TstTone 4 kHz Ch1 + Ch3 Ch2 + Ch4 Ch3 + Ch5 Ch4 + Ch6 Ch3 + Ch7 Ch4 + Ch8
You can reassign each AES channel (with the AES option) to one of the following sources:

Input Demuxed audio (Ch1/2 Ch 15/16) Input demux refers to audio deembedded prior to the frame synchronizer (the input to the module).
Output Demuxed audio (Ch1/2 Ch 15/16) The Output Demux options output audio deembedded after passing through the frame synchronizer. This can be used to synchronize Dolby-E without the need to decode-synchronize-re-encode.
A corresponding Audio procamp AES output (Audio procamp 1A/1B 4A/4B to AES1-4)
Note
The Demuxed audio selection for AES outputs is provided for the minimum audio propagation delay purposes. This audio path also provides a direct output of the non-PCM audio such as Dolby if the Frame Sync Mode parameter is set to synchronizer mode. AES outputs in this mode are not AES11 compliant and are not aligned with video.
Test Pattern Generator

When the Test Pattern Enable parameter (listed on page 51) is set to On, the video output displays 75% color bars.
Dolby-E Automatic Header Alignment

When you embed Dolby E audio, the module automatically adjusts input audio delay such that the Dolby E header resides on an optimal line, with a tolerance of up to +1 line. This line can be positively offset using the Dolby E Align Delay parameter. Table 3-6 illustrates the targeted optimal line numbers for the Dolby E header according to video standard. Table 3-6.

Module Status LEDs

SFS6800+ modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, a module status LED on the corner of the module lights up if an error is detected. See Figure 3-10 on page 54 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 3-14 for a definition of the LED colors.
Note
If the LED is flashing red, please contact your Customer Service representative.
Table 3-14. Module Status LED Descriptions LED Color Sequence

Off Green Red Flashing red Amber
Meaning
There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. There is an alarm condition. The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. The module is undergoing configuration.

55
Alarms
If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your SFS6800+ module, the Status LED lights red. Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example, CCS Navigator). You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information. The following settings can be made for each alarm within Pilot or Navigator software. Table 3-15. Alarm Options Alarm Option
Enable/Disable
Effect
This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If the alarm is Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored. This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported as major or minor. The range is 110. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm This option determines how long an alarm condition must exist (in seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger duration, then the alarm will not trigger. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 (or two hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition exists for any period of time, the alarm will trigger. Determines the amount of time the alarm condition must be in abatement in order for the alarm to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or two hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition ceases for any period of time, the alarm will clear. When an alarm is active, click this option to allow other users on the network to see that you have acknowledged the alarm.

Appendix B
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

Software Communication Problems
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with + Pilot Lite or 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.
Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame. + Pilot Lite and CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+XF 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 B-1 on page 72), 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.

71
Figure B-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector The frame is powered up, but + Pilot Lite does not communicate with the module. Solutions Ensure you have installed the correct cables between the PC and the frame: A null modem serial cable must be used between a PC and an FR6802+ frame (not a straight-through cable). At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed, but pin 5 (ground) is straight-through to pin 5. A USB cable must be used between a PC and an FR6802+QXF frame.
Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. + Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH control module is installed in the frame.
Set the Frame ID DIP switch settings correctly (the Frame ID DIP switch is located at the rear of the frame.) If only one frame is connected, set the DIP switch to 00. If multiple frames are used in a daisy-chain, set the DIP switch numbers consecutively to the following: 00 (frame 1) 01 (frame 2) 10 (frame 3 11 (frame 4)
See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about frame ID switch settings. Check that the correct COM port is configured in + Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port.
72

+ Pilot Lite and CCS software see the frame, but do 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 + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh), and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up first before discovery.
+ Pilot Lite and CCS Pilot/Navigator do not respond after they have been launched. Solution Close either + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator. Both programs cannot be running at the same time on the same PC. + Pilot Lite and CCS software show a module in the Control window, but cannot control it. Solution 1. Set the modules 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.

73
Hardware Communication Problems

After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate. Solution 1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure. 2. Close the + Pilot Lite or 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 B-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.
