Upgrading DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 FirmwareFirmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 modules. Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software applications are required for this procedure. You can use either the Discovery or the drag-and-drop method. When performing the upgrading procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the intended module.If for some reason the upgrade fails, 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 16.

Upgrading the Firmware (Discovery Method)Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware using the Discovery method:1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from the

Leitch Web site or from your CD-ROM, and then unzip the upgrade package.

2. If the affected module has not been discovered, perform the Discovery operation, as described in your CCS software application manual or online help.

3. Double-click the device icon.The Configuration... window opens. On the Software Upgrade tab, the /slotx/boot (where x is the slot number) directory appears in the Select the device directory to transfer to: field.

4. Click Add, and in the Add Upgrade Files box, browse and select the boot folder in the module’s upgrade; click OK.The Add Upgrade Files box appears.

5. Select the file and then click OK.6. Click Perform Transfer and then click Yes.

This may take several minutes.7. Wait for the message File transfer to device succeeded in the

status bar.



If an fl0 folder is included in the .zip file, the files within that folder must now be uploaded as shown below. (In some cases, the readme file may indicate other separate files must be uploaded instead.)Follow these steps to upload the remaining files:1. On the Software Upgrade tab, select the /slotx/fl0 (where x is the

slot number) directory in the Select the device directory to transfer to: field.

2. Click Add, and in the Add Upgrade Files box, browse and select the fl0 folder in the module’s upgrade package.

3. Click OK.4. Select the files shown in the Add Upgrade Files box, and then

click OK.5. Select and delete unwanted files (for example: vxWorks.lzs) in the

Add upgrade files for transfer to device: field by clicking Remove.

6. Click Perform Transfer and then click Yes.7. Wait for the message File transfer to device succeeded.

This may take a moment.8. Click Reboot Device and then click Yes.9. Wait 30 seconds, and then close the Configuration... box.

The module name appears at the card edge.

CautionYou must delete unwanted files in the Add upgrade files for transfer to device: field before transferring the files. Otherwise, the upgrading procedure will fail.



Upgrading the Firmware (Drag-and-Drop Method)Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware using the drag-and-drop method:1. Download the appropriate most recent upgrade package from the


2. If the affected module has not been discovered by your CCS software application, enter the Build mode, and then drag or copy and paste the module’s device icon from the catalog folder into the Network or Discovery folder.

3. Right-click the device icon and then select Properties. 4. On the NRO or Device tab of the Navigation Properties box, enter

the IP address of the frame that holds the module. (See Figure 2-1.)

This may take a moment.8. Click Reboot Device and then click Yes.9. Wait 30 seconds and then close the Configuration... box.





Correcting a Failed Upgrading ProcedureFirmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if too much data is uploaded to the NEO module. Often, uploads of too much data can occur for one of the following reasons:• The boot file (typically vxWorks.lzs) was accidentally uploaded

during the fl0 procedure, instead of the boot procedure.• Files were sent to the wrong NEO module.• The particular hardware version of the module requires only some

(but not all) of the available fl0 files.• The upgrade .zip file was mistakenly sent to the module.All of these problems can be corrected by re-installing the firmware while in a fail-safe mode, as described in the following pages. When you are performing this procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the intended module.

Setting the Module to Fail-Safe Loader ModeFollow these steps to set a NEO module to the fail-safe loader mode:1. Remove the affected module from the NEO frame.2. Press the Nav switch down while simultaneously pressing both the

Operation

OverviewInstallation, navigation, configuration, and setup information is now included in the NEO FR-3901, FR-3903, and FR-3923 Mounting Frames Installation and Operation Manual. If your current NEO frame manual is Edition A, B, C, or D, you will need to download an updated version from the Leitch Web site (www.leitch.com) to access this information.This chapter describes how to operate the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 module using card-edge controls. The following topics are found in this chapter:• “Operation Notes” on page 20• “Descriptions of Selected Parameter Values” on page 21• “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 23• “Navigating the Operator and All Lists” on page 26• “Operator and All List Parameters” on page 27• “Setup Parameters” on page 34• “Alarms” on page 35• “NEOScope” on page 38• “State Recovery Parameter Availability” on page 38• “LEDs and Indicators” on page 39



Chapter 3: Operation

Operation NotesWhen using the DMX-3901H-B4 or the DMX-3901H-C4 modules, observe the following operation notes:• If you change parameters within 16 seconds after the

DMX-3901H banner first appears on the VFD, your changes will not be saved. Parameter changes that you make after this 16-second delay will be saved and restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

• Although the effect of a parameter change may appear to be immediate, the module requires 20 seconds to save the latest change. If another change is made during these 20 seconds, the first parameter change and the second parameter change will not be saved until 20 seconds after the second parameter change. There is no limit to the number of changes that can be made within 20 seconds of each other. However, none of these changes will be saved until 20 seconds after the last parameter change.

• When you set the FctryRcl (factory recall) parameter to Yes, the module takes several seconds to reset all of the parameters. (Setup parameters are not affected by this factory recall mode.) The lists of “Operator and All List Parameters” on page 27 and “Tree View Parameters” on page 51 indicate parameter default settings that are restored when FctryRcl is set to Yes.

• Changes in some parameters will cause additional changes in other parameters, or lock them out entirely. See page 23 for more information on these cross-functional parameter changes.

• Leitch recommends that you terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75Ω terminator.

CautionFailure to observe these Operation Notes will result in accidental changes to the module’s parameter settings.



Descriptions of Selected Parameter Values

Audio Output Channel Status (Out1aStat to Out4b Stat)Table 3-1 describes the audio output channel status read-only values.

Input Channel V-Bit Feedback (In01VbitFb to In16VbitFb)Table 3-2 describes the input channel v-bit feedback read-only values.

Demux Group Control (Grp1Ctrl to Grp4Ctrl)Table 3-3 describes the demux group control options.

Table 3-1. Audio Output Channel Status

Item DescriptionPeak The audio output level has reached a level of 0 dBFS.

Silence The audio output level is lower than -96 dBFS.

Normal The audio output level is between the Peak and Silence threshold levels.

Table 3-2. Input Channel V-Bit Feedback

Item DescriptionOn The V-Bit of the incoming audio channel is set to 1. This can

indicate that the audio sample word data is invalid (or possibly compressed audio) and is not suitable for D/A conversion.

Off The V-Bit of the incoming audio channel is set to 0. This can indicate that the audio sample word data is valid and is suitable for D/A conversion.

Table 3-3. Demux Group Control

Item DescriptionRepeat Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder will

repeat the last good AES sample.

Mute Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder will mute the current outgoing AES sample.



Audio Group Sample Rate (G1SmplRate to G4SmplRate)The output audio rate of the DMX-3901H is always 48 kHz. De-embedding audio that was embedded at a rate other than 48 kHz is not supported. The DMX-3901H will report the embedded audio group sampling rates, as indicated by the "Rate" word of the audio control packet, in the G1SmplRate, G2SmplRate, G3SmplRate and G4SmplRate parameters.

HD-SDI Input Presence Detection (SdiPrsnt)Table 3-4 describes the meaning of the read-only values in the SdiPrsnt parameter..

Table 3-4. HD-SDI Input Signal

SdiPrsnt Value Description

Yes One of the following conditions has taken place:• The SdiStdSet parameter is set to Auto and the SdiStdFb

parameter is recognized as being one of the supported video standards.

• The SdiStdSet parameter matches the detected standard as reported in the SdiStdFb parameter.

No One of the following conditions has taken place:• The HD-SDI signal is physically not connected to the

module. In this situation, the SdiStdFb parameter will report Unknown.

• The SdiStdSet parameter does not match the SdiStdFb parameter. As a result, the module indicates that the user-selected video standard is not present.



Cross-Functional Parameter ChangesWhen you select values in certain specific parameters, you force changes to occur in other parameters. Table 3-5 lists the forced settings and disabled parameters that result when you change certain parameter settings.

Table 3-5. Cross-Functional Parameters

Condition Forced Setting Enabled/Disabled Parameters



Channel DitheringWhen any audio output channel is of a Non-PCM format (OutxxFrmt=Non-PCM or OutxxFrmt=Auto and OutxxFrmFb=Non-PCM), the Dithering feature for that channel pair is disabled, even if only one channel of the pair is Non-PCM. Both channels in the pair must be of a PCM format for the Dithering feature for that channel pair to be re-enabled. For example, if Out1aFrmt is set to Non-PCM (or Out1aFrmt=Auto and Out1aFrmFb=Non-PCM), then AES output 1 has dithering disabled (DM_Out1 is set to None and the parameter is disabled), even if Out1bFrmt is PCM. If both Out1aFrmt and Out1bFrmt are changed to PCM (or Auto, and the associated feedback parameters are PCM), then the DM_Out1 parameter is re-enabled.

Channel Word LengthWhen any audio output channel is of a Non-PCM format, the Word Length feature for that channel pair is forced to 24-bits and the parameter is disabled, even if only one channel of the pair is Non-PCM.Both channels in the pair must be of a PCM format for the Word Length feature for that channel pair to be re-enabled.For example, if Out1aFrmt is set to Non-PCM, then the WL_Out1 parameter is set to 24 bits and that parameter is disabled, even if Out1bFrmt is PCM. If both Out1aFrmt and Out1bFrmt are changed to PCM (or Auto, and the associated feedback parameters are PCM), then the WL_Out1 parameter is re-enabled.

Operator and All List ParametersThis complete list of parameter settings is arranged so that the settings most likely requiring changes are placed at the top of the list. Items on the bottom of the list are the least likely to require changing. Parameters with the designation [RO] are “read-only.” An asterisk (*) indicates the default user range or value.The All List is a long flat list of all the available parameters, arranged from the most-used to least-used. It is intended for a “Supervisor” security designation. The Operator List is a condensed version of the All List, and is intended for an “Operator” security designation. The following table shows all available parameters. Parameters accessed only from within the All List are shaded in gray.See “Navigating the Operator and All Lists” on page 26 for instructions on navigating this list using card-edge controls.

NoteYou can reset the default values for all of the parameters automatically via the FctryRcl parameter, found in this table.

Setup ParametersYou can modify the Setup parameters to configure the card-edge controls for your personal needs. The Setup section appears at the end of all three navigation lists and consists of these items:• Alarms• NEOScope• Navigation modes• Adjustment modes• Browse modes• Scroll modes• Display intensity• Parameter descriptions• Name• FrameIP• Sync full• About mode

The structure of the Setup menu is located at the end of Appendix A: “Tree View Navigation.” See your NEO FR-3901, FR-3903, and FR-3923 Mounting Frames Installation and Operation Manual for more information on Setup items, including descriptions and operation notes.

NoteSetup parameters on a local or remote control panel may be different from the card-edge parameters described here.



AlarmsDMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 modules provide a default list of 23 alarms. You can disable any alarm by modifying the Alarms parameter in the Setup section.When you select Alarms, all of the active alarms are visible in the display, below Config (Configurations). If no alarms are active, only Config appears.

Alarm SynchronizationAlarm synchronization is available for this module if your NEO frame contains a 3901RES-E resource module that supports the feature. When active, alarm synchronization ensures that the alarm configuration settings of card-edge controls and the CCS control software and control panels are consistent.If the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 modules are set for local control, the alarm settings will appear the same at both the card edge and via CCS, but the settings can only be changed using the card-edge controls. If the module is set for remote control, the alarm settings can be changed via both the card edge and CCS control software and control panels.Alarm configuration settings undergo DejaView (state recovery) automatically. This means that when a module is hot-swapped, the alarm configuration for the new module is updated to the settings of the module that was previously in that slot. See “State Recovery Parameter Availability” in this chapter for more information.

Identifying the Cause of an AlarmTo identify the reason for an alarm, select the active alarm, and then press Enter. A scrolling message appears on the VFD describing the cause of the fault.



Enabling or Disabling an Alarm ParameterTo enable or disable an alarm parameter, follow these steps:1. Select Alarms, then select Config, and then press Enter.2. Select one of the alarm parameters, and then press Enter.3. Press Enabled or Disabled. 4. Press Enter to activate the selection.

Restoring Default SettingsTo restore the alarms to their default settings, follow these steps:1. Select Alarms, select Config, and then press Enter.2. Scroll down the list of alarms, and then select Reset.3. Press Enter to activate the selection.

The following table lists the default alarms for the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 modules. You can enable or disable these settings, but you cannot change the level of the alarm.

NEOScopeThe display screen of the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 can be used as a confidence monitor to view outgoing video images. To activate this feature, scroll through the Setup list to NEOScope, and then press the Enter button. The screen will show the outgoing video image. To turn this feature off, press any card-edge button or the Nav-/Nav+ switch.

State Recovery Parameter AvailabilityThe parameter settings for this module are automatically saved onto the 3901RES-E resource module installed in your NEO frame every five minutes. If a module should fail and be replaced with a cold spare, the state parameters can be automatically recovered. For more information on this feature, see the NEO FR-3901, FR-3903, and FR-3923 Mounting Frames Installation and Operation Manual (Edition E and above).



LEDs and Indicators

General InformationThe DMX-3901H Audio Demultiplexer modules have eleven functional card-edge LEDs and four module indicators.The module indicators include Major Alarm and Minor Alarm. These alarms alert users to failures or impending failures within the module. They are also found in the following locations:• As red or yellow LEDs on the 3901AIC Alarm Interconnect

Module or the 3901RES-E Resource Module (visible via light pipes through the frame’s front panel)

• As part of a list of activated alarms in the Setup menu• In external systems connected to the alarm contact closures at the

back of the NEO frames• On a PC screen where you use CCS Pilot or another GUI-based

control application

Tree-View Navigation

OverviewThe Tree View is one of the three navigation modes available on the DMX-3901H-B4 and -C4 module. Unlike the other navigation modes, the Tree View is a multi-level list of parameters, arranged in the following main groups:• “Input” on page 51• “Other” on page 52• “Output” on page 52• “Processing” on page 53• “Setup” on page 54(See page 34 for more information on the Setup parameters which govern the operation of the card-edge controls.)

This appendix consists of instructions for navigating the lists (see page 50) and the Tree View Parameter list.

DMX-3901H Installation and Operation Manual 49

Appendix A: Tree-View Navigation

Navigating the Tree ViewTo navigate and then view or change a parameter from the Tree View, follow these steps:1. Open the front panel of the NEO frame.2. Press any card-edge control to turn on the VFD display.

The message DMX-3901H will appear as the banner on the card-edge display.

3. Press the Enter button.The first two items in the Level One list will appear.

4. Click Nav- (down) on the Nav-/Nav+ switch to view more items in the Level One list.

5. Select the desired item in the Level One list, and then press Enter.This leads you to the Level Two list.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to view more items in Levels Two, Three, and Four.

7. If the parameter is selectable, slide the bar to the desired parameter using the Nav+/Nav-switch.ORSelect the desired item in the Level Four list, and then press Enter.

Once the Level Four parameter is set or viewed, you can leave the parameter in its current state, or return to the banner. To return to the DMX-3901H banner, repeatedly press the Escape button. Close the front panel again after you have completed the procedure to prevent the frame from overheating.

NoteIf you do not wish to make changes to your settings, return to the previously selected item in the list, and then press Escape to move up a level. See SelPar Adj Mode in the Setup section at the end of the Tree View to enable or disable this delayed adjust mode feature.

NoteAfter several seconds of inactivity, a scrolling message will appear, describing the purpose of the currently selected parameter.



Tree View ParametersUnlike the Operator and All List navigation modes, the Tree View is a multi-level structure that includes all of the available card-edge parameters. Parameters with the designation [RO] are “read-only.” An asterisk (*) indicates the default user range or value.See page 50 for instructions on navigating the Tree View.
