FEATURES and OPERATION 4
REV B, Oct 7, 2013
The HDx000/x000-ONE operates from 110 or 220 VAC with the included desktop universal
input 12V power supply or other source from 9 to 24 VDC and at least 12, 24, or 36VA of
power, depending on model. It uses a coaxial type connector (sleeve ground) on the rear
panel labelled POWER. If desired, the units can be powered from a battery pack or
automotive battery instead of the wall unit.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The HD6000/6000-ONE is configured at the factory for SMPTE signals Normally no user
configuration is required except in cases where non-SMPTE signals are to be transported.
Behind the front panel is a row of configuration dip switches. See Table 1 below. The first 6
switches are used to turn reclocking on or off for each channel. Normally you would leave
these is the default up position to reclock SMPTE signals. But if use with non-SMPTE signals
is anticipated, the reclockers should be turned off by setting the switches down, because
otherwise the reclocker may falsely lock to a non-SMPTE signal and corrupt it. This could
happen if the signal frequency, or a harmonic thereof, is close to 270, 1485 or 2970 MBPS.
The HD6000/6000-ONE will automatically mute a signal if the reclocker is not locked to a
SMPTE standard if the reclocker switch for that channel is on. But if reclocking is off, it will be
unmuted as long as a signal is present, whether it is locked or not. See Table 2. Switch 7 and
Switch 8 are reserved, leave up. Since the HD12000 and 18000 consist of 2 or 3 HD6000
PCBs in one enclosure, each serving a group of 6 channels, one must configure each PCB
for the group of channels it serves.

No special sequence must be followed to connect and start up the unit. RG59 or other 75
ohm coaxial cable must be used for the BNC SDI inputs and outputs. Note that when the
