Introduction

Product Description

The HMX6803+ is an auto-sensing SD/HD-SDI 4-AES audio multiplexer and processing
amplifier with one digital video input and one DARS reference input, and has four processed
SD/HD-SDI outputs. The OP+HMX+ module has the same features, and an additional optical
transmitter. The modules support embedding and passing of Dolby E™ metadata, and
picture and sound control through integrated processing amplifiers. The basic HMX6803+
and OP+HMX+ provide SD and HD-SDI audio embedding, and there is an optional upgrade
to 3G HD-SDI (including dual-link). Another optional upgrade adds four AES inputs, for a
total of eight.
Each HMX6803+ or OP+HMX+ 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. Balanced AES inputs are
supported with external baluns. The breakout cable includes an RS-232/RS-422 serial
connector to embed metadata.
HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ can be operated locally (using card-edge controls); or operated
and monitored remotely with control software applications such as CCS Navigator
web browser, third-party SNMP-based control applications, or CCS-compliant remote
control panels such as NUCLEUS. The modules are QSEE™-compliant, so you can monitor a
thumbnail when it is installed in an Ethernet-equipped FR6802+QXF or FR6822+ frame.
The HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ back connector requires two frame slots within an
FR6802+XF, FR6822+, or FR6802+QXF frame. The HMX6803+AI+T and OP+HMX+AI+T
require three slots within the same frames. There is no backward compatibility provided for
use with 6800/7000 series frames or FR6802+DM frames. HMX6803+ and OP+HMX+ must
be installed in a frame with fans.
