Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on
Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in
electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of
hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the
environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006,
refers to the following hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully
RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information on dates and
deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment
sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the
EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure P-1 RoHS Compliance Emblem
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical
and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users
of these products. As of August 13, 2005, the producers or users of these products were
required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not
dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU
member states may have different deadlines.)

Preface
xii
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the
EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. (See our website
for more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local Sales
representative for information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment that
complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in
Figure 2.

1Introduction
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™, HTTP
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.
Main

Monitoring
LEDs Each 6800+module has a number of LEDs assigned to
indicate varying states/functions. See Monitoring LEDs on
page 57 for a description of these LEDs.
Local/remote
control jumper
Local: This jumper setting locks out external control panels
and allows card-edge control only; limits the functionality
of remote software applications to monitoring
Remote: This jumper setting allows remote or local
(card-edge) configuration, operation, and monitoring of
the HMX6803+and OP+HMX+(this is the default setting)
