Chapter 1 Introduction Overview This chapter introduces the DVSD / DVSE6800+, and includes the following topics: • “Product Description” on page 2 • “Module Descriptions” on page 3 • “Signal Flow” on page 6 DVSD / DVSE6800+ Installation and Operation Manual...
Chapter 1: Introduction Product Description The DVSD / DVSE6800+ dual distribution amplifiers provide two channels of SD-ASI video distribution; the DVSE6800+ also provides cable equalizing and reclocking. The DVSD / DVSE6800+ dual distribution amplifiers provide four outputs for each input (two 1×4s), and provide a method that allows for a single channel distribution amplifier with 8 outputs (one 1×8).
Chapter 1: Introduction DVSE6800+ Only • Auto / manual reclock (19.4 / 143 / 177 / 270 / 360 / 540 Mb / s) • Reclocking status report • Auto bypass Module Descriptions Front Module Figure 1-1 is a generic top-front view of a typical DVSD / DVSE6800+ module and shows the general location of standard LEDs, controls, and jumpers.
Chapter 1: Introduction Back Modules FR6802+ Frame Back Module Figure 1-2 shows the double-width back connector module used by the Note DVSD / DVSE6800+ when installed in an FR6802+ frame. Distribution amplifiers with unused inputs should have the input terminated. Not doing so may cause erroneous readings of a valid input signal that can be induced from adjacent slots.

Chapter 1: Introduction Signal Input / Output Connections for FR6802+DM Frames Figure 1-3 shows the signal input / output connections used by the Note DVSD / DVSE6800+ when installed in an FR6802+DM frame. Distribution amplifiers with unused inputs should have the input terminated.
Chapter 2 Installation Overview This chapter describes the DVSD / DVSE6800+ installation process, Caution including the following topics: • “Installing DVSD / DVSE6800+ Modules” on page 14 Before installing this product, read the 6800+ Series Safety • “Making Connections” on page 14 Instructions and Standards •...
Chapter 2: Installation Maximum 6800+ Frame Power Ratings Power consumption information is listed in Chapter 4: “Specifications,” on page Table 2-1 describes the maximum allowable power ratings for 6800+ frames.Note the given maximums before installing any 6800+ modules in your frame. DVSD / DVSE6800+ modules can be installed in FR6802+ frames.
Chapter 2: Installation Unpacking the Module Preparing for Installation Before you install the DVSD / DVSE6800+, 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 Leitch customer service representative if parts...
Chapter 2: Installation Setting Jumpers The DVSE6800+ module has three standard jumpers; the DVSD6800+ Note has one standard jumper. (The DVSD6800+ only uses the P1 jumper set.) Follow this procedure to set the jumper for the proper signal: You need to configure modules for local or remote operation 1.
Page 25
Chapter 2: Installation 3. (For DVSE6800+ only) Place a jumper on the P2 and / or P3 pin that corresponds to the reclocker output setting that you want. See Figure 2-3. Figure 2-3. P2 / P3 Jumper Set Settings “P2 / P3 Jumpers” on page 17 for more information about P2 and P3 jumper set settings.
Chapter 2: Installation Installing 6800+ Modules Required Frames and Back Module Connector Types The DVSD / DVSE6800+ modules have double-width back connectors Note that can be installed in an FR6802+X(F) frame. See the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for details on installing back DVSD / DVSE6800+ modules connectors in an FR6802+ frame.
