Installing CTT6800+ Modules

The CTT6800+ module has a triple-width back connector. Due to high levels of heat dissipation, the CTT6800+ modules should not be installed in frames without fans. The modules cannot be installed in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series frames.
Note
Do not install the CTT6800+ modules in slots 6 or 14 because the heat sink will interfere with the frame.
19
These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if you are installing both front module and back connector, ensure that the back connector is installed first before plugging in the front module. Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before removing the back connector. See the FR6802+ Frames Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating an FR6802+ frame and its components. A FR6802+RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800+ series frames) option is recommended for the CTT6800+ modules. See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for installation instructions.
Upgrading Module Firmware

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules. CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ or a 6800+ETH module. In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, and so on), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure on page 23.
Upgrading the Firmware

You can upgrade your 6800+ modules firmware using the Software Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.
Caution
The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. Use the Software Upgrade tool to upgrade module firmware.
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website.

Chapter 3
Configuration and Operation

Overview
This chapter describes how to operate the CTT6800+ using card-edge controls or by using CCS Navigator. The following topics are discussed in this chapter: Operating Notes on page 28 Adding a License Key on page 28 Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails on page 29 Changing Parameter Settings on page 29 Configuration Settings on page 32
For detailed information on how to operate this product remotely, see the CCS Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator, or NUCLEUS Network Control Panel, LCP-3901-1U/RCP-CCS-1U manuals for Ethernet interface. CTT6800+ does not support + Pilot Lite software; however, you can use HTTP monitoring and control (6800+ETH+HTTP). To use 6800+ETH+HTTP (especially if you are upgrading to 6800+ETH+HTTP in the field), you must have the following: 6800+ETH firmware version 3.0 or higher A PC connected to a LAN with a JavaScript-enabled web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 A FR6822+QXF frame installed and connected to the LAN 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)
27
For more information, see Appendix B: HTTP Monitoring and Control on page 77. For detailed information, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.
Operating Notes
When you set the control parameters on the CTT6800+, observe the following: When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted. Terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75 connector.

Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails

The CTT6800+ supports Q-SEE compliant thumbnails. To use Q-SEE compliant features, you must install the CTT6800+ in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH module. When you open a Control dialog box in Navigator for the 6800+ETH module, all Q-SEE compliant modules provide thumbnails on a Video Streaming tab. In addition, the CTT6800+ modules Control dialog box have a new Streaming tab where a thumbnail, updated at up to three frames per second, is displayed. For more information on Q-SEE compliant thumbnails, see your FR6802+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.
Changing Parameter Settings

There are two ways to change the parameters that control your modules operation: CCS Navigator and card-edge controls. Using CCS Navigator, you can view, set, and confirm your modules parameter settings from your computers monitor. Using the card-edge controls, you can set parameters using the modules rotary hex and navigation switches. Use the information in this chapter to configure and operate your CTT6800+ using a CCS software application or the modules card-edge controls. For more information about setting parameters using CCS software application or by using the modules card-edge control, see Changing Parameters Using CCS Navigator on page 29 and Changing Parameter Settings Using Card-Edge Controls on page 30. A complete list of CTT6800+ control parameters can be found in Chapter 4: Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms on page 39.
Changing Parameters Using CCS Navigator

Before using CCS Navigator to change your modules parameter settings, you must discover the module. Discovery is the processes by which your software finds, and then connects to your module. Discovering an CTT6800+ Module Using CCS Navigator To discover your module, your Navigator software must be in Build mode. 1. If the Discovery pane is not open, select Tools > Discovery in the main menu. A Discovery pane opens, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen.
29
2. Click Options, and then click Add. 3. Enter the IP address of the frame that contains your module, the frame that contains your ICE6800+ module, or the frame that contains a 6800+ETH module that provides access to your module. 4. Click OK, and then OK again to close the Discovery Options dialog box. 5. Click Start. Navigator runs a discovery. 6. When your discovery is complete, Discovery Completed is displayed in the Discovery pane. To continue, click Save to save the contents of your discovery to the Discovery folder of the Navigation pane. You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click CTT6800+ in the Navigation pane. The Control dialog box appears.
Changing Parameter Settings Using Card-Edge Controls

Use the modules rotary and navigation switches to change CTT6800+ parameter settings at the card edge. You can view and confirm your changes using the On-screen display feature (see Activating On-Screen Display on page 31). 1. Rotate the mode select rotary switch (hex switch) to 0. 2. Once the hex switch is set to 0, toggle the navigation switch up or down to select a bank. View the four control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected.

3. Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) of the option you want to set. 4. Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter. 5. Do either of the following: Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then repeat step 4. Rotate the hex switch to 0 again to select a different bank, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
Throughout this chapter, in the Parameter Navigation sections, the bank and hex switch positions for each configuration setting are listed in square brackets (for example, [0, 2]) beside or below the parameter name.
Note
Use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/ remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.
Activating On-Screen Display

You can use the On-Screen Display (OSD) Monitoring feature to view the current parameter selections on your output display. When the On Screen Display parameter under OSD is turned on, the current parameter selections are displayed on the modules SD/HD/ASI OUTPUT2. This feature makes configuring the CTT6800+ using the card-edge controls much easier. To activate On-Screen Display (OSD) Monitoring, change the On Screen Display (0, 1) parameter to On. Set the OSD Transparency (0, 2) parameter to a value from 0 to 15.
31
Recalling Default Parameter Settings

You can use the modules Factory Recall parameter under System Config to return all of the modules parameters to factory default settings. In the CTT6800+ control parameter list (see CTT6800+ Control Parameters on page 39), each factory default setting appears in bold. To return this module to its default settings, set the Factory Recall parameter (0, F) to Recall.
Viewing Software and Hardware Versions

You can see the current software and hardware versions of the CTT6800+ by checking the Hardware Version and Firmware Version read-only parameters located at the end of the parameter list (see CTT6800+ Control Parameters on page 39). These parameters appear in the OSD and on CCS-enabled control panels.
Configuration Settings
The following section provides information about configuring the CTT6800+ modules. It includes the following: Configuring in Transmit Mode on page 32 Configuring in Receive Mode on page 36
If you switch the CTT6800+ module from one mode to the other, the configuration settings for each mode are maintained. You do not have to reconfigure the module each time you switch modes.
Configuring in Transmit Mode

For a full list of transmitter parameters, see Table 4-1 on page 40. Transport Stream Use the parameters found in ASI > Stream Setup to set up and monitor the transport stream data rate.
32
Table 3-2. Transport Stream Parameters Parameter

Stream Bitrate
Description
Specifies the maximum bitrate.
Note: The value in this parameter increases automatically to accommodate the minimum required bitrate to transport all data types. The data rate includes all data types (audio, video, and so on), and PSI tables.
Stream Type
Selects either a constant bitrate (188 bytes CBR) or a variable bitrate (188 bytes VBR).
J2K Max Bitrate Displays the currently-allocated maximum bandwidth for JPEG2000 video data transmission. The value calculated based on the Stream Bitrate value minus the bandwidth that is required to transmit all of the other data (ANC, audio, COM data, and PSI tables). ANC Bitrate Audio Bitrate Displays the currently-allocated bandwidth for ancillary transmission. Displays the currently-allocated bandwidth for audio data transmission.

Video (JPEG2000 Compression) Adjust the JPEG2000 compression using parameters found in ASI > Stream Setup. Table 3-4. Video Parameters Parameter
J2K Min Bitrate J2K Y/CrCb Ratio
Description
Sets the minimum bitrate threshold for J2K. Sets the ratio of the amount of luminance versus chrominance data within the J2K-allocated bandwidth. 100% means only luminance data is transmitted; 0% means only chrominance data is transmitted. 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.

Module Status LEDs

The CTT6800+ modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, the module status LED on the corner of the module lights up if an error is detected. See Figure 4-1 on page 58 for the location of the LED, and Table 4-4 for a description of the LED colors. Alarms are usually logged and monitored within CCS Navigator. See the user manual or online help for more information. Table 4-4. Module Status LED Descriptions LED Color Sequence
Off Green Red Flashing Red Yellow
Meaning
There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. There is an alarm condition. The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. The module is undergoing configuration.
Note
If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.

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).

Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

Overview
Find the following troubleshooting information in this appendix: Software Communication Problems on page 73 Hardware Communication Problems on page 75
Software Communication Problems

The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with CCS Pilot/Navigator. Solutions Ensure you have specified the proper module slot. See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification. Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. FR6802+ frames only use ICE6800+ modules to communicate with CCS software and hardware. FR6802+QXF frames use ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH modules to communicate with CCS software and hardware.
73
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.
Hardware Communication Problems

After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate. Solution 1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure. 2. Close the CCS software, and then restart the PC. 3. Restart the software application. The module does not seem to work. Solutions Ensure the correct frame is powered up. Verify that all appropriate rear connections are secure. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly. Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure: a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module. c. Inspect the spring connector at the bottom of the back module (Figure A-1), and verify 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.

HTTP Monitoring and Control

Overview
The 6800+ETH+HTTP option provides HTTP control and monitoring for 6800+ frames and modules. Like other control options that use the 6800+ETH module, 6800+ETH+HTTP can control modules in the frame where the 6800+ETH+HTTP module is installed. For more information, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual. This section includes the following topics: System Requirements for 6800+ETH+HTTP on page 77 Configuring 6800+ETH+HTTP for HTTP Control and Monitoring on page 78 Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP on page 79 Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTP on page 83 Discovering HTTP Devices in CCS Navigator on page 86
System Requirements for 6800+ETH+HTTP

To use 6800+ETH+HTTP (especially if you are upgrading to 6800+ETH+HTTP in the field), make sure that you have the following: 6800+ETH firmware version 3.0 or higher A PC connected to a LAN with a JavaScript-enabled web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 A FR6822+QXF frame installed and connected to the LAN
77
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)
Configuring 6800+ETH+HTTP for HTTP Control and Monitoring

For the details, see your FR6822+QXF Frames Installation and Operation Manual.
To configure the 6800+ETH for HTTP control and monitoring
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
Control and Monitoring 6800+ Modules and Frames over HTTP

1. In your browser window, enter the IP address of the 6800+ETH module and click Enter to connect. The 6800+ Control Interface appears.
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.
Using Presets With 6800+ETH+HTTP

A preset is like a snapshot of a modules parameters. You can create a preset from one module, and then load it onto another module of the same type (that is, if you have a frame full of ENC6801+ modules that you want to configure the same, you could configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that preset to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings). Presets are saved by the monitoring computer, normally either on a system or network drive, not on the module itself. Presets store data for an individual item. You can create an HTTP preset for any single module, but not for a group of modules or an entire frame. You can create a preset for a QSEE6800+ module, but that will not contain parameter/alarm settings for the inputs to that module. Each QSEE6800+ input can have a preset made for it. HTTP presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform other normal functions just like any other file. Creating a Preset You can create a preset for any module you can browse to. You cannot create presets for multiple modules at the same time, or for the entire contents of a frame.
To create a preset, follow these steps
1. Browse to the module for which you want to create a preset.
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.
Preset options are available when you click here
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:
These options appear for QSEE6800+ modules only
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.
Discovering HTTP Devices in CCS Navigator

If you discover your 6800+ETH+HTTP as an HTTP device, you can open a web browser window from within the Navigation pane for control and monitoring purposes. 1. In the Options > Discovery window, select the IP address for your 6800+ETH+HTTP module and click Modify. The Modify Host dialog box opens.
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.
