Chapter 2: Installation Unpacking the Module Preparing the Product for Installation Before you install the ENC/ENS6800+, perform the following: • Check the equipment for any visible damage that may have Note occurred during transit. • Confirm receipt of all items on the packing list. See “Checking the Contact your customer service representative if parts are...
Chapter 2: Installation Setting Jumpers The ENC/ENS6800+ module has three jumpers that you need to set: • J3 (See “Jumper J3 for Local or Remote Control” on page • J1 (See “Setting Jumper J1 for Genlock Source” on page • P1 (See “Setting Jumper P1 for Reclocking and IO_DELAY Output”...
Chapter 2: Installation 2. Place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 to set the module for Remote control or pins 2 and 3 to set the module for Local control. See Figure 2-2. Local control setting Remote control setting Figure 2-2.
Chapter 2: Installation the FR6802+ frame genlock input. This is determined by the position of jumper J1 on the ENC6800+ or ENS6800+ module as shown in Figure 2-3. • Genlock 2 (labeled 625 on the rear module): If this setting is chosen, the genlock source will be taken from the Genlock 2 input of the rear module and is independent of the jumper J1 setting.
Chapter 2: Installation Installing 6800+ Modules There are two types of modules: Caution • Double-slot back connectors Before installing your modules, • Front modules see the Maximum 6800+ Frame Back connectors for this module come in the double-slot size. Up to ten Power Ratings chart at the front modules can fit in an FR6802+ frame if they are connected to beginning of this chapter.

Appendix A Filters Composite Encoder Filter NTSC/PAL-M Pass Filter Luminance This filter is an “all pass” filter. No digital filtering is done on the composite encoder. It is up to the user to supply a suitable signal that corresponds to the user’s encoder application. This is very important when the signal is being fed to a bandwidth-limited channel.
Appendix A: Filters PAL-B Pass Filter Luminance This filter is an “all pass” filter. No digital filtering is done on the composite encoder. It is up to the user to supply a suitable signal that corresponds to the user’s encoder application. This is important when the signal is being fed to a bandwidth-limited channel.
Appendix A: Filters Cross-Color Reduction Filter This section describes the cross-color reduction filters that are available for the ENS-6804 board. The filter responses and characteristics are limited to the structure of the custom FIR filter ASIC. These are 12-bit coefficients with 15-tap folded FIR. Filter Summary The implementation of each Cross-Color Reduction filter consists of two filters: a vertical high pass filter and a horizontal high pass filter.

Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting Genlock Issues If the ENC/ENS6800+ cannot lock to genlock, proceed through the following checklist: 1. Check that the Reference Input Select parameter is properly set. Note There are three choices: • Genlock 1/Frame Genlock - When this setting is chosen, the Although the ENC6800+ does not have a frame synchronizer, genlock source must come from either the Genlock 1 input...

Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting source. Remember that the jumper determines whether Genlock 1 or the Frame is the source of the second genlock input (see Figure B-1 on page 48). When the genlock input is valid, the D7 Genlock LED on the card Note edge will turn green.
Page 64
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting c. Check that the 20 pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module does not have any bent or pressed in pins. (See Figure B-2.) Even a slightly depressed or bent pin may cause genlock issues.
Appendix B: ENC/ENS6800+ Troubleshooting Output Issues If the SDI output has issues such as no output, unstable output or frozen output, proceed with the following checklist. 1. Check that the Video Output Standard Set parameter is set correctly. If a 525 SDI input is present, then the valid output standard choices are NTSC or PAL-M.
