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 SFS6803+and OP+SFS+are audio/video frame synchronizers and processing amplifiers
with SD-SDI digital video input and one genlock reference video input, and four
synchronized and processed SD-SDI outputs with embedded audio.The OP+SFS+(C)xxD
module has an optional hardware submodule that provides output over fiber in 1 of 17
wavelengths, and the optional submodule on the OP+SFS+R+D receives a fiber input in 1 of
17 wavelengths. These modules provide full video and embedded audio synchronization to a
local station reference signal and allow for clean processing of all signals. The modules
support embedding, de-embedding, and passing of Dolby E™metadata, and picture and
sound control through integrated processing amplifiers.
All versions of SFS6803+and OP+SFS+provide video hot switch and I/O delay signals for
separate downstream audio tracking modules.
The basic SFS6803+and OP+SFS+provide SD-SDI video and audio synchronization and
delay, and there are optional upgrades to 1.5G HD-SDI and 3G HD-SDI, including dual-link.
Other optional upgrades add four and eight channels of AES input and output audio to the
module, and add analog inputs or outputs.
Each SFS6803+or OP+SFS+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. It includes an RS-232/RS-422
serial connector to embed orde-embed metadata. Balanced AES outputs are supported with
SFS6803+BD, OP+SFS+BD, or external baluns.
SFS6803+and OP+SFS+can be operated locally (using card-edge controls); or operated and
monitored remotely with control software applications such as CCS Navigator™, HTTP web
browser, or third-party SNMP-based control applications, or CCS-compliant remote control
panels such as NUCLEUS. The module is QSEE™-compliant, so you can monitor a thumbnail
when it is installed in an Ethernet-equipped FR6802+QXF or FR6822+frame.
The SFS6803+and OP+SFS+back connector requires two frame slots within an FR6802+XF,
FR6822+, or FR6802+QXF frame. The SFS6803+AI+T, OP+SFS+AI+T, SFS6803+AO+T, and
OP+SFS+AO+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.
SFS6803+and OP+SFS+must be installed in a frame with fans.

Feature Description
Module status
LEDs Various color and lighting combinations of these LEDs indicate the module state. See Monitoring
LEDs on page 73 for more information.
Mode select
rotary switch This switch selects between various control and feedback parameters.
Navigation
toggle switch This switch navigates up and down through the available control parameters:
Down: Moves down through the parameters
Up: Moves up through the parameters
