1 Introduction
Product Description
The MDP6801+D module supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals. It converts GPI trigger bit input
into VANC (using the Inserter mode), or GPI output from VANC (using the Extractor mode),
over the ancillary packets of Inter-Station Control (ISC) as per ITU-R BT.1685, ATC (Ancillary
Time Code) based on SMPTE 12M-2, or SCTE104 (2010) messaging standard.
The MDP6801+D can work in either Inserter Mode or Extractor Mode, defined by the user at
setup.
Inserter Mode
Using the Inserter mode, the MDP6801+D inserts GPI Trigger bits into the ISC packets of the
VANC signal. In addition, several types of metadata packets are inserted into the VANC SDI
input signal with the appropriate software license keys:
 Time Code (ATC_LTC/ATC_VITC)

 SCTE-104 packets
 CDP CC708 (Closed Captioning) into VANC
The Inserter mode is normally used at broadcasting network centers, where output video
with inserted metadata packets in its VANC space is distributed to affiliates.
Extractor Mode
In Extractor Mode, the MDP6801+D extracts GPI Trigger bits from the ISC packet of the
VANC signal. In addition, several types of metadata packets can be extracted from the VANC
SDI input signal and output to their respective physical ports with the appropriate software
license keys:
 Time Code (ATC_LTC/ATC_VITC)

 SCTE-104 packets
 CDP CC708 (Closed Captioning)
The Extractor mode is normally used at broadcasting network affiliates, to extract metadata
received from the Network center.

Introduction
Ports
The MDP6801+D module supports up to 16 GPI ports. The module supports
user-configurable inputs/outputs, which correspond to Insert/Extract mode, respectively. The
module also has one SDI input and two SDI output ports, as well as support for two
independent user configurable Serial ports.
The two serial ports for CC and SCTE104 separately can be configured as single RS-422 or
RS-232 transceivers. Additional options support insertion/extraction of Serial Closed
Captions (CEA-608/CEA-708) to/from VANC CDP CC708, insertion/extraction of LTC or
D-VITC to/from ATC, and insertion/extraction of serial SCTE104 to/from VANC SCTE104.
Closed Captioning, Time Code, and SCTE-104 functions are all softkey upgrades to the
base MDP6801+D GPI insertion/extraction function.

The MDP6801+ module converts GPI trigger bits in the SDI signal to GPI signals (“Extractor”
Mode) or the reverse (“Inserter” Mode).

GPI Timing for Input Processing

At the Inserter side, the GPI inputs first enter the GPI Input Processing block. The following
three diagrams indicate the intact signal flow and the function of the blocks of GPI Input
Filter and GPI Input Extension separately.

Figure 2-2 GPI Input Processing
In some cases, there may be a spark, or small short pulse on the GPI wires, which can be
considered “noise.” The MDP6801+D includes a Glitch Filter, which filters out this signal
noise in a set window (or duration), and in so doing, adds extra delay.

On the Extractor side, where the GPI information is extracted from the signal, the GPI
output timing is slightly different, depending on the different carriers.
The following ISC, ATC and SCTE104 diagrams explain the basic principle of GPI
transmission by comparing the GPI input processed signal of the Inserter to the Extractor
GPI output signal. The GPI Input Processing reflects the state of the internal signals in the
module. The GPI signals are extracting directly from the ANC packet from the Extractor
module. These also are the internal signals of MDP6801+D module, and NOT the final
output signals.
The video latency of the MDP6801+D is extremely small; the video timings of the input and
output signals can be considered identical in the same module.

GPI Delay & Hold processing re-builds the GPI output waveform. It is only capturing the
Rising edge of the “GPI Out Extracted” signals.
The GPI Delay & Hold Processing Mode parameter (see Figure 2-9) has three options:
 Bypass (for ISC and ATC) transparently transfers the waveform for each GPI.
 The Static option (for ISC, ATC and SCTE104) re-generates the waveform for each GPI,
following the set parameter values of GPI Out Static Delay Duration and GPI Out
Static Hold Duration.
 When the Dynamic option is selected, the values are taken from the received SCTE104
packet, which contains two parameters: Pre-roll Time and Break Duration. The
waveform for each GPI is re-generated following the values in the last received and
matched SCTE104 packet, with Pre-roll Time as the Delay Duration and Break
Duration as the Hold Duration (see Figure 2-9).

Dynamic Matching
To transfer GPI with one-to-one mapping (GPI In 1 to GPI Out 1, GPI In 2 to GPI Out 2,
etc.) over SCTE104, it’s possible to use the Dynamic Matching option in the GPI Inserting
Mode parameter.
Certain parameters can be used as the Dynamic Matching source, such as AS Index, DPI
PID Index, etc.

18 Chapter 2
On the Extractor side, the related GPI Output is only triggered when the packet with the
correct Dynamic Matching source value is received.
Note: The mapping of the GPI output for Dynamic Matching is defined by the system; it
cannot be re-defined. For example, if you use AS Index for dynamic matching, then if AS
Index has a value of 1, it will trigger GPI Output 1; if AS Index has a value of 2, it will
trigger GPI Output 2, etc.
SCTE104 GPI transmission uses “packet triggering,” rather than “over-sampling” (as used by
ISC and ATC). Only one GPI input can be transferred in one video frame. If several GPI inputs
become active within one video frame, only the GPI with smallest index is recognized. In
other words, GPI 1 has the highest priority.

Note: Because SCTE104 GPI transmission utilizes “packet triggering” (rather than the
“over-sampling” method used by Inter-Station Control or ATC), only one GPI input can be
transferred in one video frame. If several GPI inputs turn active within one video frame, only
the GPI with smallest index is recognized (GPI 1 has the highest priority).

Timecode Transmission
The MDP6801+D offers the following timecode transmission features:
Insertion
 Conversion of linear timecode input or D-VITC input to VANC ATC LTC, or ATC VITC
output
 Insertion of the timecode generator into VANC ATC LTC, or ATC VITC
 Re-mapping VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC input to VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC output
 Insertion of up to 16 GPI inputs into VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC
Extraction
 Conversion of VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC to LTC output and D-VITC output

MDP6801+D 21
 Insertion of the TC generator to LTC output and D-VITC output

 Extraction of up to 16 GPI outputs from VANC ATC LTC or ATC VITC input
When the MDP6801+D module is operating in the insertion mode, you can remap the
input ATC LTC or ATC VITC to the output side. This remapping makes it possible to insert
GPI trigger bits into the input ATC LTC or ATC VITC, so that it’s not necessary to use
another ANC packet such as Inter-Station Control or SCTE104 to transfer the GPI.
Note: Remapping the ATC as described above results in a one-frame delay of ATC content.
Closed Caption Transmission

The MDP6801+D inserts serial closed captioning into the VANC SMPTE 334-2 CDP packets,
or extracts VANC SMPTE 334-2 CDP packets for serial closed captioning output.
The serial closed captioning input/outputs are compliant with RP2007-2007 (CC CDP and
Grand Alliance serial interface). The supported baud rate for serial CC is the following
 Grand Alliance: fixed 19,200 bits/sec

 CDP: optional 38,400 bits/sec, 57,600 bits/sec, or 115,200 bits/sec
Note: When the VANC CC Output Control parameter is set to Insert, the existing CC data
in the VANC space of the incoming video is automatically removed. It is then replaced by
the converted Serial CC data and embedded in the designated line in the VBI.
SCTE104 Transmission
The MDP6801+D inserts local serial SCTE104 input into the VANC SCTE104 packets when
in inserter mode, and extracts VANC SCTE104 packet to serial SCTE104 output when in
extractor mode.
Single and multiple operation are both supported.
The MDP6801+D supports the following serial SCTE104 baud rates: 4,800, 9,600, 19,200,
38,400, 57,600, and 115,200
Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the MDP6801+D, note the following:
 If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be
affected or become disabled. See MDP6801+D Control Parameters on page 24 for
more information.
 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.
 When you set the Factory Recall parameter to Yes, the module takes several seconds
to reset all of the parameters to their default settings.

22 Chapter 2
 The softkey options for this module (SCTE104 over GPI, timecode, and closed
captioning) operate independently of each other, and any or all options can be used
simultaneously
 When switching between insertion or extraction (follow General > Working Mode),
the module will automatically reboot; softkeys can be enabled at any time during
extraction or insertion
 The MDP6801+D provides separate parameter presets for insertion and extraction; the
two modes do not share the same preset function
Changing Parameter Settings at the Card Edge

For best results, use the web browser or software controls (serial/local or Ethernet/remote)
to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.
To change the parameter settings at the card edge, instead of using software or
browser-based controls, follow these steps:
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 two control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is
currently selected.

steps 3 and 4.
Recalling Default Parameter Settings

To view the original factory default settings, see the MDP6801+D insertion and extraction
parameter lists (available on our website and on the Harris Infrastructure and Networking
Documentation and Product Resources DVD). To return this module to its default settings at
the card-edge, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall by
following procedure:
1 Rotate the hex switch to 0.

2 Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number 0.
Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+
software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank
selection.
3 Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F.

4 Toggle the navigation switch to On.
Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming
the parameter value.
Changing Parameter Settings Using CCS Software

Before using CCS Navigator to change your module’s parameter settings, you must discover
the module. Discovery is the process by which CCS Navigator finds, and then connects to
your module. Ensure that you have upgraded your 6800+ETH module to version 4.8 or
higher.
Discovering the Module Using CCS Software

To discover your module, your Navigator software must be in Build mode.
1 If the Discovery window is not open, click Tools > Discovery in the main menu.
A Discovery window opens, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen.
2 Click Options, and then click Add.

3 Enter the IP address of the frame that contains your module, or the frame that contains a
6800+ETH module that provides access to your module.
Note: ICE6800+ modules are not supported by the MDP6801+D.
4 Click OK to close the Add Host dialog box, and then click OK again to close the Discovery
Options dialog box.
5 Click Start.
This triggers Navigator to run a discovery. When the discovery finishes, Discovery
Completed is displayed in the Discovery pane.
6 Click Save to save the results of your discovery to the Discovery folder of the Navigation
pane.
7 Switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu.
8 Double-click MDP6801+D in the Navigation pane.
24 Chapter 2
The Control window opens, displaying the module’s controls.
You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the
main menu. Double-click MDP6801+D in the Navigation pane. The Control dialog box
opens, displaying the module’s controls.
Reading Software and Hardware Versions

The current software version of your module can viewed using a web browser, a
CCS-enabled control panel, or a CCS software application, such as Pilot or Navigator.
MDP6801+D Control Parameters

The MDP6801+D operates in either insertion or extraction mode, but not both at the same
time. When switching between modes (via General > Working Mode), the module will
automatically reboot.
Note: The sequence of options listed in the Options column mirrors the sequence achieved
when you move the Navigation Toggle switch up.
The On/Off combinations of the control LEDs on the card edge indicate the active bank
number. See Changing Parameter Settings at the Card Edge on page 22 for more
information.

Category Parameter Notes, Options, and Comments
-- ANC Packet Delete Method  Replace With Black removes the packet by replacing 0x40
(Y) and 0x200(C).
 Mark For Deletion replaces the DID by 0x80 as deletion
Inter-Station ISC Input Line Mode  Selecting a different mode will result in a slight difference in
Control (Extractor Mode) GPI extracting timing. See page 13 for details.
 In the Auto option, the module automatically scans the
VANC area for ISC packets.
 When you select the Fixed option, the ISC Input Field
(interlaced standard only) and ISC Input Line must be set.
ISC Input LOP Mode  If the ISC Input Line Mode is set to Auto, the ISC packet is
(Extractor Mode) expected at least every frame.
 If the ISC Input Line Mode is set to Fixed, the presence of
ISC packets must be available exactly with the ISC Input
Field and ISC Input Line. For example, if the Field value is 1
and the Line value is 8, the packet must be valid at that line.
Otherwise, the module does not detect the packet.
 When using the User Default option, the GPI outputs
switch to a default level defined in GPI Out Default Active
State if the ISC packets are lost.
 When Last Good is the selected option, the GPI outputs
hold the active status extracted from the last available packet
if the ISC packet is lost.
ISC Input CI Error Ignore The CI (Counter Index) should be consecutive in every ISC
(Extractor Mode) packet. However, the CI could be interrupted by a synchronizer,
for example, located between the Inserter and Extractor. In this
case, the recommended ISC Input CI Error Ignore setting is
Yes.
ISC Output Control  For carrying the GPI, this parameter must be set to Insert.
 The Bypass option permits the incoming ISC packet to
output untouched.
 The Remove option removes any incoming ISC packets.
 When Insert (found in the Inserter mode) is selected, the
incoming ISC packet is automatically removed and replaced
by a locally generated ISC packet, and then inserted into the
output video. This is true whether ISC is assigned for GPI or
not.
ISC Output Error This error is triggered if there is not enough space for inserting
(Inserter Mode) the ISC packets into the specified line.
Timecode D_VITC Line Clean  When Auto is selected, the specified line is automatically
(Inserter Mode) cleaned by a black signal if D_VITC is detected. Otherwise,
all data on that line is passed through.
 The Enabled option forces the module to clean the specified
line.
 When you select Disabled, no cleaning occurs.

 There is a delay of one video frame between the TC and
video content when converting, remapping, or inserting.
 The Bypass option passes the incoming ATC packets to the
output untouched, with no delay. For example, the TC
content embedded can be any of the following:
 In video frame 1, TC value is 00h:00m:00s:01f (frame

 Remove deletes any incoming ATC packets.
 The Convert option (found in the Inserter mode) changes
either D_VITC or LTC input to ATC output, automatically
removing any incoming ATC packets.
 Remap (found in the Inserter mode) automatically removes
any incoming ATC packets when remapping incoming ATC
packet to output.
 The Insert option (found in the Inserter mode) automatically
removes any incoming ATC packets and inserts ATC packets
from the internal timecode generator into the output.
Loss of Timecode  This parameter is only valid when ATC Output Control is set
(Inserter Mode) to Convert or Remap.
 When Freeze is selected, if the source of the ATC output is
lost, a valid ATC packet is still inserted in the output, with
the frozen time code content extracted from the last good
incoming packet.
 When the Pass option is selected, if the source of the ATC
output is lost, no ATC packets are inserted in the SDI output.
ATC Embed GPI To enable this control, the following parameters must also be
(Inserter Mode) set:
 GPI Input Destination > ATC
 ATC Output Control > Convert, Remap, or Insert

Closed Serial CC Input Drop Bytes If this parameter detects an increasing number, the serial CC
Caption Counter stream must include errors that cannot be processed by the
(Inserter Mode) module.
VANC Input Drop Bytes If this parameter detects an increasing number, the VANC CC
Counter stream must include errors that cannot be processed by the
(Extractor Mode) module.
VANC CC Output Control  The Bypass option passes the incoming CC708 CDP packets
to the output without changes.
 Remove deletes any incoming CC708 CDP packets.
 Insert (found in the Inserter mode) automatically removes
any incoming CC708 CDP packets and inserts CC708 CDP
packets from the serial CC input.
When the VANC CC Output Control parameter is set to
Insert, the existing CC data in the VANC space of the
incoming video is automatically removed. It is then replaced
by the converted Serial CC data and embedded in the
designated line in the VBI.
SCTE104 SCTE104 Processing Mode The SCTE104 packets are used for GPI transmission, following
the Splice Request Data Structure; it is optional to append
the Insert DTMF Descriptor Request Data. When the Serial

SCTE104 VANC SCTE104 Output  When in Bypass, the incoming SCTE104 packet is passed to
Control (Serial Mode) the output without changes.
 The Remove option deletes any incoming SCTE104 packets.
 Insert (found in Insertion mode) automatically removes any
incoming SCTE104 packets, and inserts SCTE104 packets
from the serial SCTE104 input.
Upstream Pass Mode  When in Bypass, the incoming SCTE104 packet is passed to
(GPI Mode) the output without changes.
 The Remove option deletes any incoming SCTE104 packets.
 Remap moves the incoming SCTE104 packet to another
line.
NOTE: There is one video frame delay for remapping
Upstream Message Number  In Pass, the Message Number in the upstream SCTE104
Control (GPI Mode, Inserter packet is directly passed out during remapping, with no
Mode) processing involved.
 In the Overwrite option, the Message Number in the
upstream SCTE104 packet is replaced by the local counter
during remapping. With this option, this number would be
consecutive at output side for the remapped packets and
new inserted packets.
GPI Inserting Mode / Inserting These two parameters work with the Extractor that is selected
Dynamic Source (GPI Mode, for Dynamic Matching. By selecting the same Dynamic
Inserter Mode) Source as the Extractor's, the module matches the parameter
one-to-one for all the 16 GPI settings.
GPI 1 - 16 Insert Time Type  Using the None option, the GPI Number is not valid.
(GPI Mode, Inserter Mode)  When GPI is selected, the GPI Number carries the index of
the triggered GPI.

Parameter Function
Parameter Name
Core Name
(not applicable) Reserved * Reports a two-byte field that is fixed to a value of 0xFFFF; it is
automatically inserted as the first word in the SCTE104 packet
in the Inserter mode.
Message Size * messageSize Displays the size of the entire Multiple Operation Messages
[multiple_operation_message()] structure in bytes; it is
automatically calculated and inserted in the Inserter mode.
Protocol Version * protocol_version Reports a value in an 8-bit unsigned integer field that makes it
possible to allow this message type to carry parameters that
may be structured differently than those defined in the current
protocol. The value of zero (0x00) is fixed. (Non-zero values of
Protocol Version may be used by a future version of is this
standard to indicate structurally different messages.)
AS Index AS_Index Sets or reports the source of a message (since it is possible to
have several automation systems active at once). Values range
from 0 to 255, or 0, if this index is not required. Non-zero
values create a unique AS Index within a single digital
compression system.
Message Number ** message_number Reports an integer value in the range 0 to 255 that is used to
identify an individual message. The Message Number
[message_number] variable must be unique for the life of a
message.
This parameter is automatically calculated and inserted in

Inserter mode. Each time a new message is injected, the
message number increments. The feedback parameter under
GPI 1-16 Settings on the UI indicates the message_number
for the next new message.
DPI PID Index DPI_PID_index Sets or reports the index number (from 0 to 65535) for the DPI
PID that will carry the resulting Splice Info Sections
[splice_info_sections]. A value of 0 is used when the system
architecture is not required.
SCTE35 Protocol SCTE35_protocol_vers Reports the SCTE35 Protocol Version that is in use. In future,
Version * ion this section type may be structured differently than those
(future defined in the current protocol. At present, the only valid value
implementation) defined by SCTE 35 is zero (0x00). Non-zero values of SCTE35
Protocol Version may be used by a future version of this
standard to indicate structurally different sections. The
parameter is fixed at 0x00 and automatically inserted in
Inserter mode.

Time Type timestamp() Sets or reports the exact time to process all of the requests in
this message. The Time Type value may be 0, indicating the
messages are processed immediately. The Time Type may
contain either the UTC time or the VITC time specifying when
to process the requests. Alternatively, the Time Type may
contain the number of the GPI to use for triggering the
messages to be processed. Once the GPI is triggered, all
requests associated with that edge of the GPI will be
processed.
The MDP6801+D only supports a Time Type value of either 0
(None) or 3 (GPI).
Num Ops * num_ops Reports an integer value that indicates the number of requests
contained within the packet data. This parameter is
automatically calculated and inserted in Inserter mode. If DTMF
data is enabled, a value of 2 indicates two data tables (Splice
Request Data [splice_requeset_data] and Insert DTMF
Descriptor Request Data
[insert_DTMF_descriptor_request_data] are inserted. A value of
1 indicates only a Splice Request Data table is inserted.
Op ID * opID Reports an integer value that indicates what request is being
sent. This parameter is fixed and automatically inserted in the
Inserter mode. For Splice Request Data
[splice_requeset_data], the Op ID value is 0x101. For Insert
DTMF Descriptor Request Data
[insert_DTMF_descriptor_request_data], the Op ID value is
0x109.
Data Length * Data_length Reports the size of the Data [data()] field being sent in bytes.
This parameter is automatically calculated and inserted in the
Inserter mode. For Splice Request Data
[splice_requeset_data], the value is fixed at 14. For Insert
DTMF Descriptor Request Data
[insert_DTMF_descriptor_request_data], the value is variable
and equals DTMF Length [dtmf_length] plus 1.

SCTE104
Parameter Core Description
Parameter Name
Name
Splice Insert Type splice_insert_type Sets or reports the type of insertion operation, as follows:
 The Splice Start Normal Sections [SpliceStart_normal
section(s)] occur at least once before a splice point. This
interval should match the requirements of SCTE 35 (Section
7.1) and serve to set up the actual insertion. It is
recommended that if sufficient pre-roll time is given by the
AS, the Injector should send several succeeding SCTE 35
Splice Info Section [SCTE 35 splice_info_section()] sections
(per SCTE35 and SCTE 67) in response to a Single Splice
Request Message [single splice_request message] with a
Splice Start Normal Splice Insert Type [spliceStart_normal
splice_insert_type] value. (This parameter is shown as
SpliceStart_normal section(s) in the SCTE104 standard.)
 Splice Start Immediate [spliceStart_immediate] sections
may come once at the splice point's exact location. In this
instance, the Injector sets the Splice Immediate Flag
[splice_immediate_flag] to 1, and the Out of Network
Indicator [out_of_network_indicator] to 1 in the resulting
SCTE 35 Splice Info Section [SCTE 35
splice_info_section()]. Immediate mode signaling is not
recommended by SCTE 35 and may result in inaccurate
splices. (This parameter is shown as spliceStart_immediate
in the SCTE104 standard.)
 Splice End Normal [spliceEnd_normal] sections terminate
splices made without a duration specified. They may also be
sent to ensure a splice has terminated on schedule. The
Injector sets the Out of Network Indicator
[out_of_network_indicator] to 0. To terminate a Splice Start
Normal [spliceStart_normal] with no duration specified, the
splice should be sent prior to the minimum interval before
the return point and carry a value for Pre-roll Time
[pre_roll_time]—especially if terminating a long form
insertion. (This parameter is shown as spliceEnd_normal in
the SCTE104 standard.)
 Splice End Immediate [spliceEnd_immediate] sections
terminate a current splice before the splice point, or a splice
in process earlier than expected. The Injector sets the Out of
Network Indicator [out_of_network_indicator] to 0 and
the Splice Immediate Flag [splice_immediate_flag] to 1. In
this case, the value of Pre-roll Time [pre_roll_time] is
ignored. (This parameter is shown as spliceEnd_immediate
in the SCTE104 standard.)

Parameter Name
Name
Splice Insert Type splice_insert_type  Splice Cancel [splice_cancel] sections will cancel a recently
sent Splice Start Normal [spliceStart_normal] section. The
AS must supply the correct value of Splice Event ID
[splice_event_id] for the section to be cancelled; the Injector
sets the Splice Event Cancel Indicator
[splice_event_cancel_indicator] to 1. (This parameter is
shown as splice_cancel in the SCTE104 standard.)
Splice Event Source splice_event_source Reports or sets the source of a cue message to 0, 4, 6, or 12. A
value of 0 indicates the cue source is embedded. A value of 4
indicates a cue created by automation system switching. A
value of 6 defines a cue created by a live event trigger system,
and a value of 12 indicates a cue created by a local content
replacement system. The Splice Event Source
[splice_event_source] and Splice Event Number
[splice_event_number] together define the Splice Event ID
[splice_event_id] parameter that is inserted into the SCTE104
message.
Splice Event Number splice_event_number Reports the event source to identify an instance of the cue
** message, making up the lower 28 bits of the Splice Event ID
[splice_event_id]. This parameter is automatically calculated
and inserted in the Inserter mode. The feedback parameter
under GPI 1-16 Settings on the UI indicates the Splice Event
Number [splice_event_number] for the next new message.
Unique Program ID unique_program_id Reports or sets the two-byte program number (the use of this
field by servers and splicers is not confirmed at this time.
Pre-roll Time pre_roll_time Reports or sets the 16-bit time before the insertion point (in
milliseconds). This value is ignored for Splice Insert Type
[splice_insert_type] values other than Splice Event Normal
and Splice End Normal [spliceStart_normal and
spliceEnd_normal]. If the value is 0 and Component Mode is
not in use, the Injector sets the Splice Immediate Flag
[splice_immediate_flag] to 1 in the resulting SCTE 35 Splice
Info Section [splice_info_section]. In the MDP6801+D module,
this parameter is also used as Delay Duration if the GPI Delay
& Hold Processing Mode is Dynamic in the Extractor.
Break Duration break_duration Reports or sets the duration of the insertion in tenths of
seconds (a value of 0 prevents the injector from making an
insertion). The Break Duration [break_duration] value is
ignored for Splice Insert Type [splice_insert_type] values other
than Splice Start Normal and Splice Start Immediate
[spliceStart_normal and spliceStart_immediate]. In
theMDP6801+D module, this parameter is also used as Hold
Duration if the GPI Delay & Hold Processing Mode is set to
Dynamic in the Extractor.

Avail Num avail_num Reports or sets the identification for a specific avail within the
current Unique Program ID [unique_program_id]. The value

of 0 indicates non-usage.
Avails Expected avails_expected Reports or sets the expected number of individual avails within
the current viewing event. A value of 0 indicates that Avail
Num [avail_num] has no meaning.
Auto Return Flag * auto_return_flag Provides status of, or sets the splicer to return to the network at
the end of the break. If this field is non-zero and a non-zero
value of Break Duration [break_duration] is present, the Auto
Return [auto_return] field in the resulting SCTE 35 section will
be set to 1. This field is ignored for Splice Insert Type
[splice_insert_type] values other than Splice Start Normal and
Splice Start Immediate [spliceStart_normal and
spliceStart_immediate]. This parameter is fixed at 0x00 and
automatically inserts in the Inserter mode.

Pre-roll * pre-roll Reports or sets the number of tenths of seconds before the
Splice Point [splice_point] . The Splice Point is signaled in the
resulting SCTE 35 section that a DTMF tone sequence should
finish. To allow for processing time, the Pre-roll signaled in the
SCTE 35 message should be greater than this value. The value
in this parameter is automatically copied from the Pre-roll
Time [pre_roll_time] parameter and the related Splice Request
Data [splice_request_data]. The module clips to 255 (25.5s) if
pre_roll_time is longer than 25500 ms.
DTMF Length * dtmf_length Reports the length of the following DTMF_char (in bytes) that
is inserted in Inserter mode. This parameter is automatically
calculated and inserted in the Inserter mode.
DTMF Char DTMF_char Sets or displays one character of a DTMF sequence to be output
by an IRD. (the field contains one of the ASCII characters 0
through 9, *, #, or A through D. The MDP6801+D inserts a
maximum of 30 characters in one SCTE104 packet.

A Communication and Control

Troubleshooting Tips
Software Communication Problems
Problem
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with CCS Navigator or the
web GUI interface.
Solutions
 Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.
See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about
slot identification.
 Confirm there is an 6800+ETH module (version 4.8 or later) installed in the frame.
 Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame.
CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even if these
modules may operate with card-edge controls in the frame. Legacy 6800 products do
not have the “+” symbol on their extractor handles.
 Check for pressed pins on the back module by following this procedure:
i. Unplug the front module.
ii. Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module, and
verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.
iv. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Harris Customer
Support.
Figure A-1 Typical Back Module Spring Connector

46 Appendix A
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
Problem
The frame is powered up, but Pilot Lite does not communicate with the module.
Solution
Verify whether there is a 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. (Pilot Lite serial control is
disabled if a 6800+ETH control module is installed in the frame.)
Problem
The IP address of the frame has been forgotten.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
1 Remove the ETH6800+ module from the frame.

2 Select DIP switch 2 on the ETH6800+ module and slide the tab to the forward position.
This sets the ETH6800+ module to its default IP address of 192.168.100.250.
Slide this DIP switch tab

forward for default IP address
Figure A-2 ETH6800+ DIP Switch
3 Use CCS Navigator or the web browser to interface with the ETH6800+ module and then
set the desired IP address.
4 Set the DIP switch back to its normal position and then re-insert the module.
Problem
There is no Ethernet connection to the frame.
Solutions
 Verify that the correct IP address is being used. If your are not certain, refer to the above
procedure to set to default IP.

MDP6801+D 47
 Verify that the ethernet cable is the correct type (a crossover cable is required for direct
connection from a PC).
 Verify the Link and Activity (left and right) status LEDS are active on the RJ-45
connector at the rear of the frame.
 Verify the Status LED is lit and green on the ETH6800+ card, as viewed from the front
of the frame with the door open.
 Verify that the security settings on the PC allow for connection to a frame (TCP port 80
and UDP ports 4000/4050 must be open).
 Verify that the PC is configured for and can communicate on the desired subnet.
Problem
CCS software sees the frame, but does not find all of the modules.
Solutions
 Remove any legacy 6800 series products.
 Plug your modules in before starting the discovery.
 Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully powered up.
 Refresh the CCS software and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up
first before discovery.
Problem
CCS Software does not respond after it is launched.
Solutions
Close any CCS software that is already launched.
Problem
CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.
Solution
1 Set the module’s 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.

48 Appendix A
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
Hardware Communication Problems
Problem
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.
Problem
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. Then
verify the Status LED on the module is lit and green.
 Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure:
i. Unplug the front module.
ii. Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Note: Pressed pins are will not affect the functionality of the product.
