Chapter 1: Introduction
Description
Various color and lighting combinations of this LED indicate the module state. See LEDs and Alarms on page 58 for more information. The module has one bank of DIP switches that has four individual switches. They allow you to switch the module between receiving and transmitting, and to change the output mode of the transmitter between ASI and SDI. See Changing Parameter Settings on page 29. This switch selects between various control and feedback parameters. This switch navigates up and down through the available control parameters: Down: Moves down through the parameters Up: Moves up through the parameters
Control LEDs
Various lighting combinations of these Control LEDs (sometimes referred to as Bank Select LEDs) indicate which bank is currently selected. See Bank Select LEDs on page 30 for more information. Each 6800+ module has a number of LEDs assigned to indicate varying states/functions. See Monitoring LEDs on page 59 for a description of these LEDs. Local setting locks out external control panels and allows card-edge control only; limits the functionality of remote software applications to only monitoring the CTT6800+. Remote setting allows remote or local (card-edge) configuration, operation, and monitoring of the CTT6800+. See page 15 for more information on jumpers.

Displays the total J2K bitrate and it is the sum of the luma and chroma video bitrates. The maximum supported J2K bitrate is 190 Mbps. The luma and chroma component of the video is handled by two different J2K encoder/decoder chips. Each chip supports a maximum bitrate of 130 Mbps. The J2K Y/CrCb Ratio parameter adjusts the bitrate allocation between the two J2K encoder/decoder chips. As a result, the J2K Max Bitrate value might be reduced if the J2K Y/CrCb Ratio value is adjusted to the extreme ends of the ratio to account for each video component's maximum bitrate limit.

Chapter 5: Specifications
Propagation Delay
All modes: Between 4 and 6 frames. Note the following: This propagation delay value applies to a CTT6800+ transmitter/receiver pair operating in a point-to-point configuration without any third party equipment (such as muxes, routers, RF modulators, and so on) in the ASI transmission path. Once the receiver output is locked to the transmitters SDI input timing (the receiver relocks each time a mode change is detected, or when the receiver is power cycled), the propagation delay remains constant over the course of the program. Power cycling the transmitter causes the receiver to relock, which changes the propagation delay within the specified range. Changing the bitrate does not affect the propagation delay.
Power Consumption
The power consumption for CTT6800+ modules is <13 W.
Operating Temperature
The operating temperature for CTT6800+ modules is 41 to 113F (5 to 45C).

Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame. CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the + symbol on their extractor handles.
Check for bent pins on the back module by following this procedure: a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module. c. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module (Figure A-1 on page 74), and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins. d. Carefully reposition any bent pins; If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Figure A-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector CCS software sees the frame, but does not find all of the modules. Solutions Remove any legacy 6800 series products.
74
Plug your modules in before starting the discovery. Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully powered up.
CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it. Solution 1. Set the modules Local/Remote jumper to Remote. 2. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the module type in the frame. 3. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly and powered up. 4. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.

A standard 100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable segment (use a crossover RJ-45 cable to connect to a PC, or a normal straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect to an Ethernet hub/switch)
1. Discover the 6800+ETH module. 2. If required, add the HTTP License key. You are now ready to control and monitor your 6800+ devices using a web browser. See Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP on page 79.
78
Figure B-1. 6800+ Control Interface Screen If the 6800+ETH module is off or in a failed state (that is, disconnected), then you will see a file not found message.
79
2. Click Enter. If necessary, you can enter a license key now. The initial Control screen will appear similar to the following:
Figure B-2. 6800+ETH+HTTP Control Window The left side of the screen displays a nested menu of all the sub-devices found at that IP address. If you click the + beside a frame, you can see a list of up to 20 modules contained in that frame. If you click the + to the left of a module, there are three folders, which contain the parameters, alarms and configuration information available for each device. You can click on any of these nested items to go straight to the options on that page of the interface.
Note
Names of items in the navigation tree cannot be changed within the HTTP interface.
The upper right side of the screen updates to display the path of the currently displayed contents. You can click portions of the path to navigate backwards. The lower right side of the screen updates to display the controls available on the selected level.
80
3. Click a frame link in either the left or right pane. A Frame View window opens.
Figure B-3. Frame View in the 6800+ Control Interface The Frame View window has two tabs, Status and Alarms. The Status tab graphically represents the major components in the frame. Slot StatusEach slot that contains a module displays the name of that module. If a module is a double-slot module, the name will appear in the main slot, and the adjacent slot that is also taken up displays Empty. Any empty slots also display Empty. You can click on the slot that contains a module to see parameters, alarms, and a Configuration page for that module. If a module has an alarm condition, that modules slot appears red. Fan StatusDisplays red if the fan has failed. Fan InstalledDisplays Installed if fans are present. Power Supply StatusDisplays a red box if the power supply has failed.
81
Frame AlarmDisplays True if the frame has an alarm condition; False if the frame has no alarm condition.
The Alarms tab lists the six alarms that are associated with the frame (four fan alarms and two power supply alarms). Each alarm has a status indicator and a button to enable or disable the alarm. 4. Click a module in the tree view at the left side of the screen, or a slot in the Frame View, to view controls specific to that module.
Figure B-4. Module Parameters in the 6800+ Control Interface Controls are divided into three groups: ParametersOften these are further subdivided so various pages of parameters appear in the right portion of the page, with nested sub-directories on the left. Each module has specific controls. See the documentation for your module(s) to view complete descriptions of the modules unique controls. AlarmsDisplays control settings for all alarms on the module, input, or frame. Depending on the type of module, controls and options may vary. See each modules documentation for complete descriptions. ConfigurationContains the following options:

VersionRead-only display of hardware and software version for the module. PresetsAllows you to save and load pre-defined parameter settings on a module-by-module basis. See Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTP on page 83 for more information.
InputAppears on QSEE6800+ modules only. Open the + to see all the module inputs to the QSEE6800+ module. Each module has its own Parameters, Alarms, and Configuration options.
83
2. Open the + beside that module so that the Configuration folder is visible, and then open the + beside the Configuration folder so that the contents of the Configuration folder are visible.
Figure B-5. Preset Folders in the 6800+ Control Interface 3. Click Preset in the Configuration folder of the module. In the main screen, there are two buttons, Load Preset and Save Preset. If your module is a QSEE6800+ module only (not an input to a QSEE6800+, but the parent module only) two extra options appear on this window (see Figure B-6 on page 85). Root Device - Created preset will contain settings for the QSEE6800+ module only, with no sub-device parameters or settings Root and Sub Devices - Created preset will contain settings for the QSEE6800+ module and all sub-devices
4. Click Save Preset. Depending on your browser configuration, normally another browser window will open. This window contains the contents of your preset file.
84
5. In your browsers window, click File > Save As, or follow your browsers procedure for saving the contents of the page. By default, your preset file will inherit the name of the frame connected to the 6800+ETH module followed by the name of the module. By default your preset will be saved in the last-saved location on your network or system drive. You can choose a different location using your browsers tools. Your preset is saved. You can now load it to another module of the same type, or e-mail it, or archive it, and so on. Loading a Preset to a Module The process of applying the settings included in a preset file is referred to as Loading.
To load a preset file to a module of the same type
1. Browse to the module for which you want to load a preset. 2. Open the + beside that module so that the Configuration folder is visible, and then open the + so that the contents of the configuration folder are visible. 3. Click Preset in the Configuration folder of the module. Information similar to this appears on the screen:
Figure B-6. Presets in HTTP Browser 4. Click Browse, and then use the tools to find and double-click the preset you want to load. The path and file name you have selected appear in the field beside the Browse button.
85
5. If the preset you are installing is from a module of the same type but with a different version, select Disable Checking of interface version to apply the preset. This option is deselected by default. 6. Click Load Preset. If the file you have chosen is a preset for the correct device, the preset is applied to the module. If the preset does not match the selected device, you will see an error message on the screen.
Figure B-7. Modify Host Dialog Box 2. In the Modify Host dialog box, select HTTP, and then click OK to close the Modify Host dialog box, and again to close the Discovery Options window. 3. Click Start to run a discovery. 4. When your discovery is complete, click Save to transfer the results of the discovery to the Navigation pane. In Navigators Control mode, you can now double-click on the 6800+ETH+HTTP to open a web browser window to monitor the connected frame and modules.
