Introduction

OverviewThe MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ A- Series Analog Audio Multiplexer modules provide embedding of up to four analog audio channels into one audio group of an SDI video stream. Some versions of MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules have either two balanced or unbalanced AES audio outputs (see “Product Descriptions” on page 2). The MSA6800+A4, MSA6800+A4B2, and MSA6800+A4C2 also provide a data I/O input for audio signal synchronization.Using the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexers control parameters, you can adjust input audio before it is embedded in the SDI stream. Control parameters can be set from the card-edge or by using a PC running a CCS™ software application such as CCS +Pilot Lite, Pilot, or Navigator.This chapter covers the following topics:• “Product Descriptions” on page 2• “Main Features” on page 4• “Module Descriptions” on page 5• “Signal Flow” on page 10

See the Pilot or +Pilot Lite manuals and Online Help for information on how to configure the CCS software application to communicate with the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules.

NoteExcept where noted, the term MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexers is used in the manual to refer to both the MXA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexer and the MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexer with Synchronizer modules.

Installing MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ ModulesThe MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules have double-width back connectors that must be installed in an FR6802+XF frame.These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing both front and rear modules, ensure that the back module is installed first before plugging in the front module. Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before removing the rear module. See the FR6802+ Frames Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating an FR6802+ frame and its components.

CautionBefore installing your modules, see Table 2-1 "Maximum Power Ratings for FR6802+ XF Frames" on page 16.



Upgrading Module FirmwareFirmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules. Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ 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 intended module.In the unlikely event that 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 30.

Chapter 3

Operation

OverviewThis chapter describes how to operate the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexers using card-edge controls only. See the following product documents for information on how to operate this product remotely:• +Pilot Lite User Manual for serial control interface• CCS™ Navigator™, Pilot™, CoPilot™, NUCLEUS Network

Control Panel or RCP-CCS-1U Remote Control Panel manual for Ethernet control interface

The following topics are discussed in this chapter:• “Activating Multiplexer Functions” on page 35• “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 38• “Control Parameters” on page 40• “LEDs and Alarms” on page 46

Operating NotesWhen setting the control parameters on the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules, observe the following:• When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However,

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



Chapter 3: Operation

• If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 38” for more information on these cross-functional parameter changes.

• When you turn the rotary hex switches to select between channels or groups, the LED indicators change to reflect the channel or group that is currently selected. If you do not make a change to your selection within five seconds, the LEDs will revert to their normal display mode. If you then turn the rotary hex switches to change your channel or group selection, the LEDs will temporarily change to reflect the selections that you are making.

• For information on audio embedding, see “Appendix A: Audio Embedding”.



Activating Multiplexer FunctionsThe following sections provide information about the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexer’s main functions.

Audio Data ProcessingThe MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules convert analog audio input signals to digital audio signals that have a sample rate of 48 kHz and a resolution of 24-bits. All audio processing, including audio gain and delay adjustments, is done on the 24-bit resolution audio data stream. You can use the 24-bit Mode parameter to select the resolution of the digital audio stream before it is embedded as an SDI audio group. This parameter also controls the resolution of the output AES audio on modules equipped with AES outputs. By default, the 24-bit Mode parameter is set to Disabled, meaning that the embedded audio and output AES audio is set to 20-bits. Enabling the 24-bit Mode parameter sets the resolution of the embedded audio and output AES audio to 24-bits.

Audio Embedding OptionsThe audio embedder component in the analog audio multiplexer modules is controlled by two principal parameters: ADS Clean and Audio Embed Mode. These parameter options are described in the sections below.

ADS CleanEnabling the ADS Clean parameter removes all the audio groups presently embedded in the input SDI stream. This process leaves the ADS region clean prior to MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ audio embedding.

Audio Embed ModeThe MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules provide three different embed modes. Each mode embeds only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a predetermined group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) onto the SDI stream. See “Appendix A: Audio Embedding” on page 65 for illustrated explanations of audio embed modes, and for information about avoiding audio embedding errors.



Each embedding mode is described below:• Overwrite Using this option, the module overwrites an existing

audio group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) with a new audio group. The new audio group is embedded using the same sample distribution as the overwritten group. If there is no pre-existing audio group to overwrite (or only auxiliary data), an embedding error is returned. Don’t 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, enable the ADS Clean parameter.

• Append Using this option, the module embeds an audio group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) after the last currently embedded audio group. If the group specified by the Embed Group parameter already exists, an error is returned. Using Append mode does not destroy any audio data packets (ADPs) already present in the ancillary data space (ADS), assuming any existing packets in the ADS are left justified.If the pre-existing ADPs are not left justified (and do not follow each other within a 3 or 4 of clocks), the gap will cause an error, stopping the embedding process. This is a non-standard condition.

• Automatic Using this option, the module attempts to embed audio using Overwrite mode. If this operation fails because there is no existing audio group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) in the input SDI stream to overwrite, the module automatically switches to Append mode for audio embedding.

Audio embedding errors are indicated on the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ card-edge monitoring LEDs (See Table 3-3 on page 47).

Analog Audio Input Level OffsetUsing the IP Level Offset parameter you can amplify all analog audio inputs simultaneously. This allows you to achieve additional analog audio input levels beyond what can be achieved using the analog level jumpers (see “Channel Analog Audio Input Level Jumpers” on page 23). This input level adjustment is achieved by the IP Level Offset parameter, which has a range of 0 to 5.0 dB in 1.0 dB steps.



For example, to set an analog input level of +15 dBu for a digital input audio level of 0 dBFS, you can use a combination of analog audio level jumper settings and adjustment of the IP Level Offset parameter. The following steps sets the analog audio level input to +15 dBu.1. Set jumpers A, B, and C to set the analog audio input level to +16

dBu (“Channel Analog Audio Input Level Jumpers” on page 23). For this setting, refer to Table 2-3 on page 23.

2. Adjust the IP Level Offset parameter to 1.0 dB. Use either a remote control application (e.g. +PilotLite, Pilot or Navigator) or card-edge control to adjust the parameter to this setting.

The combination of these two settings will set the audio input level to +15 dBu for analog audio inputs and 0 dBFS for digital audio inputs.



Changing Parameter SettingsFollow these steps to change the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ parameter settings:1. Rotate the mode select rotary switch to “0.”2. Once the rotary switch is set to “0,” toggle the navigation switch up

or down to select a bank. View the two control LEDs immediately below the navigation toggle switch to see which group is currently selected.

See Table 3-2 on page 40 to view the various banks, rotary switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values.

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

Recalling Default Parameter SettingsTable on page 40 describes all of the parameter settings for the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules and includes the original factory defaults. To return these modules to their default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall using the following procedure:1. Rotate the hex switch to “0.”

Table 3-1. Selected Group as Indicated by Control LEDs

Bank Mark 0 Bank Mark 1 Group Off Off 0

On Off 1

Off On 2

On On 3

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



2. Toggle the navigation switch to group number “0.”Use the control LEDs to verify which group you have selected, or use an available 6800+ software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your group selection.

3. Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter, “F.”4. Toggle the navigation switch to recall the default parameter

settings.

Reading Software and Hardware VersionsThe current software and hardware versions of the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ module can only be viewed using a software control application such as Pilot or +Pilot Lite. For more information, see your CCS Pilot User Manual or Online Help.



Control ParametersThe following table lists all of the available control options and parameters for the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ unless otherwise indicated. The On/Off combinations of the control LEDs on the card-edge indicate the active bank number. See “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 38 for more information.

LegendBold Option= Indicates that this is the default setting for the parameter

NoteThe sequence of options listed in the Options column mirrors the sequence achieved when you move the Navigation Toggle switch up.

Module Status LEDsThe MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, module status LEDs on the corner of the module light up if an error is detected. See Figure 3-1 on page 46 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 3-6 for a definition of the LED colors.Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example, +Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot). See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information.

AlarmsTable 3-7 describes the specific alarms for the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ modules. You can only identify specific alarms using a software control application.

General Troubleshooting StepsFollow these steps in troubleshooting 6800+ product problems:1. Review the “Software Communication and Control Issues” on

page 59 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 product Customer Service representative if, after following these initial steps, you cannot resolve the issue.To contact your product Customer Service, see “Contacting Customer Service” on page 63.

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.




Software Communication and Control Issues• “+ Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules” on

page 59• “+ Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in Frame” on page 60• “+ Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding” on

page 61• “+ Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing

in the Control Window” on page 61• “+ Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports ‘Not Ready’” on page 61• “CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does Not

Communicate with Module” on page 62• “Alarm Query Fails When a Device Reboots” on page 62

+ 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 (Check that the correct COM port is configured in + Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port).

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

• Null modem cable is not being used. Between the PC running + Pilot Lite and the FR6802+ frame, there should be a null RS-232 modem cable. At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed and 5 to 5 for ground.

• 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).



• A legacy 6800 series product is in the frame. + Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products. They will not be discovered or controlled by + Pilot Lite, although they can be installed in the FR6802+ frame and work using card edge controls. The module must be from the 6800+ product family.

• Check that the back module does not have any bent pins. Follow this procedure:a. Unplug the front module first b. Unscrew and remove the back module.c. View the 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back

module. See Figure A-1.

Figure A-1. Connector on 6800+ Back Module

This connector should not have any bent or pressed pins. Even a slightly depressed or bent pin may cause genlock issues.

d. If there are bent pins, carefully re-position them to their correct positions. If this is not possible, a back module can be obtained from the manufacturer.

+ 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.

20-pin connector



If a module is plugged into the frame after a discovery, + Pilot Lite does not automatically detect the module. Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh) to discover the newly installed module.If a Legacy 6800 series product is in the frame, + Pilot Lite will not detect it. + Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products. They will not be discovered or controlled by + Pilot Lite although they can be installed in the FR6802+ frame and work using card edge controls. For + Pilot Lite to find a module, it must be from the 6800+ product family.

+ Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding+ Pilot Lite and CCS applications such as Navigator or Pilot 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 set the jumper for local control? If so, set this

jumper to the REM position for remote control.• Does the card name in the control window physically match the

card type in the frame? • 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.



Hardware Communication and Control Issues• “Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure”

on page 63• “Module Does Not Seem to Work” on page 63

Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure

Have you exited the software and restarted 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

Appendix A

Audio Embedding

OverviewThis appendix provides illustrations to help explain how the MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ Analog Audio Multiplexers modules use each Audio Embed mode to embed audio onto an input SDI stream. It also provides information about avoiding audio embedding errors.It includes the following topics: • ‘Overwrite Embedding” on page 65• ‘Append Embedding” on page 67• ‘Enabling ADS Clean” on page 68• ‘Embedding Errors” on page 69• ‘Preventing Embedding Errors” on page 70

Overwrite EmbeddingUsing this option, the module overwrites an existing audio group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) with a new audio group. The new audio group is embedded using the same sample distribution as the overwritten group. If there is no pre-existing audio group to overwrite (or only auxiliary data), an embedding error is returned. For information about Overwrite embedding errors, see page 69. Figure A-1illustrates examples of audio embedding using Overwrite Embed mode.

Append EmbeddingUsing this option, the module embeds an audio group (specified by the Embed Group parameter) after the last currently embedded audio group. If the group specified by the Embed Group parameter already exists, an error is returned. Using Append mode does not destroy any audio data packets (ADPs) already present in the ancillary data space (ADS), assuming any existing packets in the ADS are left justified.If the pre-existing ADPs are not left justified (and do not follow each other within a 3 or 4 of clocks), the gap will cause an error, stopping the embedding process. This is a non-standard conditionFor more information on Append embedding errors, see page 69.Figure A-2illustrates examples of audio embedding using Append Embed mode.

Enabling ADS CleanEnabling the ADS Clean parameter removes all the audio groups embedded present in the input SDI stream. This process leaves the ADS (ancillary data space) region clean prior to MXA6800+ and MSA6800+ audio embedding (as specified by the Embed Group parameter. No embedding errors are reported in this mode.

Embedding ErrorsDuring the embedding operation, errors may arise for the following reasons:• An attempt is made to append a group when it is already present• An attempt is made to overwrite a group when it is not present• An attempt is made to overwrite a group composed of 20-bit audio

samples with a group composed of 24-bit audio samples• There is an overflow condition in the ancillary data space• There is an overflow or underflow of the internal buffer

Pre-existing group 1



Preventing Embedding ErrorsTo 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 warnings that the desired operation is not being performed.

• Don’t 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.

• Use the ADS Clean feature to avoid ADS overflow situations.
