2 Hardware Installation
Using a Studio Remote Panel with the HDE-200
The Diversity Delay controls are typically not
available in the studio, but the Diversity Delay
Ramp Complete tally can be used for a studio in-
dication that the Diversity Delay is active.
A Ballpark mode switch and tally can also be
used in the studio to give local control over tem-
porarily ramping the Diversity Delay to zero so
that live events that are being simulcast (like a
football game) can be delivered in real time to the
analog broadcast chain. This control also typically
sets the HD Radio blend feature to off.
As shown above, the Harris PRE99-1212 Six
Button Remote panel can be configured for status
and control of the Ballpark Mode and the optional
Profanity Delay, as well as show the status of a
critical failure alarm and the Diversity Delay.
2.3.7 HD RADIO EXCITER CONNECTIONS
When the HDE-200 is co-located with the HD
Radio Exciter, a separate GPS antenna connec-
tion on the Exciter is not required. To synchro-
nize the Exciter to the HDE-200 Exporter con-
nect the
10 MHz clock output from the HDE-200
to the Exciter’s 10 MHz Reference Input.
The HD Radio main channel audio, part of the
HD Radio data stream sent out of the Exporter’s
Ethernet ports, must be sent to and received by
the HD Radio Exciter. The
Exporter Link port is
specifically designed to receive the E2X data
stream from the Exporter when using TCP or UDP.
In order to properly route the data stream, the
correct network settings must be defined on both
the Exporter and the Exciter. Complete software
configuration of the Exporter is detailed in the
Software chapter.
2.3.8 FM EXCITER CONNECTION
When the HDE-200 is co-located with the FM
Exciter—regardless of whether or not the FM
Exciter is part of the HD Radio Exciter, the FM
Exciter’s input is connected to the
Main Delay Out .
On the Harris HDX-FM Exciter, connect the
Exporter to the
Main AES connection. If the FM
Exciter used does not have an AES input, an AES/
EBU-to-analog signal converter is required.
