Introduction
Overview
The ADC6800+A4BC Analog-to-Digital Converters with Delay handle four-channel A-to-D conversion applications. The ADS6800+A4BC modules are audio delay synchronizers that are often used for solving timing problems within a facility (for example, integrating a non-synchronous digital island or compensating for fixed or variable path delays). For added audio capabilities such as audio-tracking delay and hot-switching, you can use ADS6800+A4BC in combination with other 6800+ product modules (such as the DES6800+, ENS6800+, and VFS6800+). The ADS6800+A4BC module handles four-channel applications. The following topics are described in this chapter: Product Description on page 2 Module Descriptions on page 4 Signal Flow on page 7
Product Description
General Description
ADC6800+A4BC and ADS6800+A4BC modules provide four balanced analog audio channel inputs, two AES unbalanced (coax) audio outputs, and two AES balanced audio outputs. They also provide a balanced and unbalanced DARS reference input. ADC/ADS6800+A4BC modules can be controlled locally (via card edge) or controlled and monitored remotely with CCS software applications such as +PilotLite, Pilot, and Navigator, or CCS-compliant remote control panels and products. The back connectors for ADC/ADS6800+A4BC modules require two frame slots within a frame, and provide for balanced and unbalanced connections. ADS6800+A4BC modules accept audio tracking delay and a hot-switching signal from 6800+ video modules with synchronizers (DES6800+, ENS6800+, and VFS6800+).
Typical Broadcast and Production Applications

Broadcast and production facilities can use ADS6800+A4BC modules to solve audio sampling delay and synchronization problems. The insertion of a fixed and variable delay will ensure proper synchronization between picture and sound. ADS6800+A4BC modules can also be used for accurate audio tracking. They track the timing signal generated by various cards (DES6800+, ENS6800+, and VFS6800+), thereby increasing the 6800+ system capability.
Main Features
Common ADC/ADS6800+A4BC features include the following: Fixed audio delay operation of up to 1.3 sec @ 48 kHz sampling rate for each input channel Auto tracking delay capability with 6800+ video synchronizer modules (ADS6800+A4BC only) Internal audio processing amplifier with controls for gain, mute, invert, channel multiplexing, and channel resolution adjustment Internal audio test tone generators (750 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and 6 kHz) Compliance with AES11 32/48/96 kHz sampling rate capability Selectable 16-bit, 20-bit, and 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion Two or four balanced analog audio inputs; 600 or high impedance (jumper selectable) Up to two pairs independent analog-to-digital conversion channels (two variations) Peak/silence/tone indication Selectable delay adjustment for each input channel External video and DARS reference input (video reference drawn from frame)

Chapter 3
Operation
Overview
This chapter describes ADC6800+A4BC and ADS6800+A4BC module operation, processing, and parameters, including the following topics: Operating Notes on page 28 Changing Parameter Settings on page 30 Setting ADC/ADS6800+A4BC Control Parameters on page 32 LEDs and Alarms on page 39
See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for a description of generic card-edge controls (such as toggle and rotary/hex switches). For information on how to operate this product remotely, see these documents: +Pilot Lite User Manual for serial interface CCS Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator, or RCP-CCS-1U Remote Control Panel manual for Ethernet interface
27
Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the ADC/ADS6800+A4BC, 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. You can connect up to four ADS6800+A4BC modules to a single data I/O chain using a maximum cable length of 984 ft (300 m). T-connectors are recommended. When reference video is applied to the module, expect a momentary audio disruption due to the locking process. For AES11 compliance in 525 mode, the ADC6800+A4BC and ADS6800+A4BC modules require the presence of a DARS signal locked to the reference video. Ensure that the DARS input on the back connector (either balanced or unbalanced) is connected to the appropriate source. A DARS signal is not required for AES11 compliance in 625 mode. Note the following Tone frequencies: Tone 1: 750 Hz Tone 2: 1500 Hz Tone 3: 3000 Hz Tone 4: 6000 Hz
Delay control is not applicable when a tone is selected as a source for an output channel. To achieve AES11 compliance, you must select only valid Lock Mode and Lock Source parameter options. Valid parameters for Lock Mode are Delay and Sync. Valid parameters for Lock Source are DARS and Genlock w/ DARS.
Note
Before you select Genlock w/DARS, both the Genlock and DARS signals must be locked together.
If you select Freerun as the Lock Mode, or Genlock as the Lock Source, you will not achieve AES11 compliance. See Bank 0 on page 32 to select Lock Mode and Lock Source.
28
The LED display mode (selected in Bank 3) is not saved through power cycles like other parameters. The module always powers up to display General Status. See Bank 3 on page 36 to select an LED display mode.
Analog Audio Input Level Offset

The ADC6800+A4BC and ADS6800+A4BC can amplify all analog inputs simultaneously using the IP Level Offset parameter. This allows you to achieve additional analog audio input levels beyond what can be achieved using the analog level jumpers (see Setting Channel Analog Input Level Jumpers on page 17). 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 (Setting Channel Analog Input Level Jumpers on page 17). For this setting, refer to Table 2-4 on page 17. 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.
Channel Summing (Creating a Monaural Signal)

If you select select In 1 Sum or In 2 Sum as the source for the Output Ch1A/1B/2A/2B Source parameters, the result is the sum of the two parts of the channel divided by two (the mean average). For example, In 1 Sum = (In 1A + In 1B) 2 Therefore, the stereo signal is averaged, creating a monaural signal.
29
Changing Parameter Settings

Follow these steps to change the ADC/ADS6800+A4BC parameter settings: 1. Rotate the mode select rotary switch (hex switch) to 0. 2. Once the hex switch is set to 0, toggle the navigation switch up or down to select a bank. View the two control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected.

See Table 3-2 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values. 3. Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) of the option you want to set.
Note
Leitch recommends that you use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.
4. Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter. 5. Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then repeat step 4. or Rotate the hex switch to 0 again to select a different bank, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
30
Recalling Default Parameter Settings

Table 3-2 on page 32 describes all of the parameter settings for the ADC/ADS6800+A4BC modules, including the original factory defaults. To return these modules to their default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure: 1. Rotate the hex switch to 0. 2. Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number 0. Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+ software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank selection. 3. Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F. 4. Toggle the navigation switch to On. Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming the parameter value.
Reading Software and Hardware Versions

The current software version of your ADC/ADS6800+A4BC modules can only be viewed using a CCS-enabled control panel or a CCS software application, such as Pilot or +Pilot Lite. See your RCP-CCS-1U Installation and Operation Manual, CCS software application user manual, or CCS software application online help for information on viewing software and hardware version numbers.

Before continuing, be sure to read General Troubleshooting Steps on page 52. To contact Leitch Customer Service, see Getting Help from Customer Service on page 56.
General Troubleshooting Steps

Follow these steps in troubleshooting 6800+ product problems: 1. Review the Common Problems and Suspected Failures on page 53 outlined in this chapter.
Note
Associated 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.
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 the Leitch Web site at www.leitch.com (Support section), along with technical support information, training information, product downloads, and the Leitch product knowledge base. 3. Contact your Leitch Customer Service representative if, after following these initial steps, you cannot resolve the issue. To contact Leitch Customer Service, see Getting Help from Customer Service on page 56.

Common Problems and Suspected Failures

+Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules
Confirm 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 (+Pilot Lite is not communicating with the correct COM port). Actual Slot ID and Frame ID do not match with the two DIP switch settings in back of frame (+Pilot Lite is not communicating with the appropriate slot and frame). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on Slot ID and Frame ID DIP switch settings. 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).
+Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in Frame

If 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.
+Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding

+Pilot Lite and CCS applications cannot run on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but only one can be opened at a time.
53
+Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window

Consider these questions: Did you physically configure the module for local control? If so, configure the device for remote control. 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 devices 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 devices 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 Reboots

When 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.
54
Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure

Have you exited the software application and restarted the PC 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 Work

Although 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.
