Preface
This manual provides safety and installation information for the ECO8000 Series
Automatic Changeover Unit. Also included is information about basic instrument
operation.
Product description
The ECO8000 Series Automatic Changeover Unit is a highly versatile automatic
sync and signal changeover unit with configurations and capabilities required
to address modern master sync application and other advanced sync timing
application. The ECO8000 Series offers exceptional reliability, stability, and is
designed with optional high-bandwidth input changeover capabilities for HD/SD
and/or 3G-SDI signal environments.
Each ECO8000 unit can be used with the following signal generators to form the
complete sync generator system, which offers extra redundancy for the critical
timing and synchronization system in the facilities.
A pair of Telestream Tektronix Video Master Sync / Master Clock
Reference Generators (SPG8000A, SPG8000 or SPG700) for most
broadcast facility timing applications.
A pair of Telestream Tektronix Video Test Signal Generators (TG8000) for
more advanced post production facility timing applications.
ECO8000 Series models The ECO8000 Series consist of the following models:
ECO8000: This model provides up to nine user-configurable BNC
channels and four LTC channels. The base configuration has three 50
MHz Electronic Fast Switch (REF/ELSW) channels with options for six
more 50 MHz Electronic Fast Switch or 3 GHz Relay Switch
(HREF/Relay) channels in groups of three channels each, plus four
optional LTC channels. Each channel consisting of primary and backup
inputs, and an output.
ECO8020: This model provides up to 20 user-configurable high-density
BNC channels and four LTC channels. The base configuration has five 50
MHz Electronic Fast Switch (REF/ELSW) channels with options for 15
more 50 MHz Electronic Fast Switch or 3 GHz Relay Switch
(HREF/Relay) channels in groups of five channels each, plus four optional
LTC channels. Each channel consisting of primary and backup inputs, and
an output.

Key features and benefits Innovative architecture provides highly reliable basic ECO function and
advanced monitoring capability
Switches analog black burst, HD tri-level sync, AES/DARS, word clock,
LTC, as well as 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals – all the timing and
synchronization signals required in modern broadcast, production, and post
production facilities
Scalable product architecture to fit various application needs
Electronic Fast Switch function for near glitch-less sync source switching,
minimizing disruption in operations if a switch is necessary to service the
primary sync source
Relay backups provide continued signal connection in the event that the
ECO loses power
Automatic and Manual changeover modes with indicator
Front panel LED indicators for the status of each Primary and Backup channel
Front panel LED indicators for the AC and DC status of each installed power
supply
Dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure continuous availability of
reference signals
Web Interface. An easy to navigate Web-based interface allows quick access to
most of the instrument settings and views. (See How to use the Web Interface.) In
most cases, it is easier to access and configure the instrument using the Web
Interface. Examples of where this is especially true are:
Viewing instrument status
Viewing the Event Log
Viewing diagnostic results
Configuring event reporting
Configuring e-mail reporting
Configuring channel settings such as threshold levels, labels, etc.

Rackmount installation
(Option RACK only)
This instrument is configured at shipment for use in an equipment rack only
if Option RACK was ordered. Refer to the Rackmount Slides and Rails Kit
Instructions that was supplied with the instrument for instructions on how to
install the rackmounting hardware.
WARNING. Personal injury or damage to the instrument can occur if the
instrument is not properly secured in the equipment rack.
To install the instrument into an equipment rack. After you have
installed the rackmounting hardware, perform the following steps to
install the instrument into an equipment rack:
WARNING. To prevent injury during product installation, use care not to
pinch hands or fingers in the rails and slides.
1. Insert the instrument left and right slides into the ends of the rack rails while
tilting the long handle part of each lever upward. (See Figure 1.)
NOTE. Make sure to insert the instrument slides inside the inner rack
rails. You may also need to tilt the rear of the instrument up or down at a
slight angle to fit the slides into the rails.
2. Push the instrument into the rack until it stops.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument and rackmount, do not
force the instrument into the rack if it does not slide smoothly. The rails
assembly may need to be adjusted to resolve the problem.
3. Retighten any loose screws and push the instrument all the way into the rack.
If the tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the rail assemblies.
4. When adjusting is completed, tighten all rail assembly 10-32 screws using
28 inch-lbs of torque.
5. If the instrument has knob screws on the front corners, tighten them so that
they are secured in the rack.
6. To remove the instrument from the rack, loosen the knob screws.
