period, we will return the product prepaid after servicing.
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 Web site,
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch, 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 P-1.

Preface
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,
producers or users will be 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.)
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 Web site,
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch, 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 P-2.

Preface
Safety
Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent
damage to this product or any products connected to it. If this product is
rack-mountable, it should be mounted in an appropriate rack using the
rack-mounting positions and rear support guides provided. It is
recommended that each frame be connected to a separate electrical
circuit for protection against circuit overloading. If this product relies
on forced air cooling, it is recommended that all obstructions to the air
flow be removed prior to mounting the frame in the rack.
If this product has a provision for external earth grounding, it is
recommended that the frame be grounded to earth via the protective
earth ground on the rear panel.
IMPORTANT! Only qualified personnel should perform service
procedures.

Introduction
Overview
The HDX6800+B2/C2 and HDX6800+B4/C4 are two- and
four-channel high-definition audio demultiplexers, respectively. The
HDX6800+B2 and HDX6800+C2 modules can de-embed two AES
audio signals from a provided HD video signal, while the
HDX6800+B4 and HDX6800+C4 can de-embed four AES audio
signals.
HDX6800+B2/B4 module versions provide balanced AES outputs,
while HDX6800+C2/C4 module versions provide unbalanced AES
outputs.
The following topics are described in this chapter:
•“Product Description” on page 2

Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
General Description
The HDX6800+B2/C2 and HDX6800+B4/C4 HDTV Two and Four
Channel AES Demultiplexers can (respectively) de-embed two and four
AES audio signals from a single 1.5 Gb/s HD video signal in both
balanced (B2 and B4) and unbalanced (C2 and C4) formats.
Following SMPTE 299M specifications, these demultiplexers are able
to de-embed to up to four AES audio signals from HD inputs; an
included unbalanced DARS input provides AES-11 compliance. These
modules can either be controlled locally (via card edge) or controlled
and monitored remotely (with software applications such as +Pilot
Lite™, CCS™Pilot™, and CCS Navigator™, or CCS-compliant remote
control panels and other products).
Four module types are available:
• HDX6800+B2 has one unbalanced DARS input, one balanced
DARS input, one HD-SDI video input, four HD-SDI reclocked
outputs, and two balanced AES output channels.
• HDX6800+B4 has one unbalanced DARS input, one balanced
DARS input, one HD-SDI video input, four HD-SDI reclocked
outputs, and four balanced AES output channels.
• HDX6800+C2 has one unbalanced DARS input, one HD-SDI
video input, four HD-SDI reclocked outputs, and two unbalanced
AES output channels.
• HDX6800+C4 has one unbalanced DARS input, one HD-SDI
video input, four HD-SDI reclocked outputs, and four unbalanced
AES output channels.
The back connectors for both module types require two frame slots
within an FR6802+XF frame (there is no backward-compatibility
provided for use with 6800/7000 series frames).
