Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

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 takes effect

on July 1, 2006, and it refers to the following hazardous substances:

• Lead (Pb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

In accordance with this EU Directive, all Leitch Technology products

sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and

“lead-free.” (See the Leitch Web site, www.leitch.com

, 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. Leitch equipment that

complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant

symbol, as shown in Figure P-1.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment

(WEEE) Directive

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. Effective August 13, 2005,

producers or users will be required to recycle electrical and electronic

equipment at end of its useful life, and must 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, Leitch Technology International,

Inc. and other companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU

will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly

recycled. (See the Leitch Web site, www.leitch.com

, for more

information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local

Leitch sales representative for information on returning these products

for recycling. Leitch equipment that complies with the EU directive will

be marked with a WEEE-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure P-2.

Introduction

Overview

The DHSD / DHSE6800+ are HD /SD dual serial digital video

distribution amplifiers. The following topics are described in this

chapter:

Chapter 1: Introduction

Product Description

The DHSD / DHSE6800+ HD / SD dual serial digital video distribution

amplifiers provide two channels of HD / SD-SDI video distribution with

cable equalizing (and reclocking on DHSE6800+ only).

The DHSD / DHSE6800+ dual distribution amplifier provide 4 outputs

for each input (two 1×4s), and provide a method that allows for a single

channel distribution amplifier with 8 outputs (one 1×8). Both

distribution amplifiers feature high video performance, low cost,

remote control, and diagnostic capability in Leitch’s control system.

You can set up, control, and monitor the DHSD / DHSE6800+ either

locally via a card-edge jumper or remotely on a PC. For remote control,

you can use either a serial RS-232 or optional ICE6800+ Ethernet

connection.

Typical Broadcast and Production Applications

DHSD / DHSE6800+ distribution amplifiers can be used in broadcast,

cable, production, educational, and auditorium applications where a low

cost method of distributing serial digital video signals is required.

Main Features

DHSD / DHSE6800+ Features

DHSD / DHSE6800+ features include the following:

• Configurable as a 1×8 or as a dual 1×4 distribution amplifier

• Automatic cable equalization on inputs

• Identical polarity for ASI compliance

• Automatic switching from input 1 to input 2, when a loss of signal

is detected on input 1 and Loss Of Signal switching is enabled

• Feedback status reports input signals present

• Card edge control by jumpers with LED feedback

• Remote control with status and alarm
