2 Hardware Installation
NOTE:
The HDE-200 uses two IP
addresses, one for the CPU (default:
10.10.10.10), the other for the iBiq-
uity HD Radio DSP board (default:
10.10.10.22). Do not connect any
CAT-5 cables to the HDE-200’s three
Ethernet ports until after the IP ad-
dresses and other network settings are
configured. This can be done is two
ways: by following the procedure in
the Software chapter (page 3-6), or by
running the ECC app on a host com-
puter with its IP address set to the
10.10.10.x subnet in order to connect
to the Exporter.
If the subnet of the Exporter is
changed from the default, then the
Host Subnet must also be changed.
For most installations it will probably
be easier to use the HDE-200 configu-
ration method presented in the Soft-
ware chapter.
2.2 Optional Upgrade Kits
Three upgrade kits are available to expand the
HDE-200 functionality: a Profanity Delay Up-
grade (HARHDE200-PROFAN) adds the profan-
ity delay option so that a separate profanity delay
and controller are not required; an Arbitron PPM
Encoder Interface (HARHDE200-PPM) activates
the rear panel Loop Thru connection to interface
two Arbitron PPM Encoders (one for the analog
channel, the other for the HD Radio main chan-
nel); and a combined upgrade (HARHDE200-
PROF/PPM) which adds the Profanity Delay and
activates the Arbitron PPM Encoder interface.
The Profanity Delay adds a second delay func-
tion to the HDE-200—with remote studio logic
control via the Remote I-O Logic connector or via
on-screen commands, so that a separate profanity
delay controller is not required. It has variable
ramp times and allows profanity delays of up to
35 seconds to be set through the ECC app. This
delay is completely separate from—and does not
affect, the Diversity Delay built into the HDE-200.
The Arbitron PPM Encoder Interface connects
two PPM Encoders to add the People Meter sig-
nals to the main HD and analog carrier audio
streams. These are post processing and Diversity
Delay so that ramping the Diversity Delay in or
out does not affect the PPM Encoding.
The PPM Encoders connect to the HDE-200
using XLR interface cables, included in the up-
grade kit, which plug into the
Post Delay Loop
In/Out connector. The six foot long cables plug
into the PPM Encoder’s
In and Out connectors.
2.2.1 UPGRADE KIT INSTALLATION
Installing an upgrade
kit requires that the
HDE-200 top panel be
removed to install an
iButton which activates
the purchased option.
Power down the HDE-200, then remove 11 flat-
head Phillips screws along the edges of the cover,
and lift the cover off.
Dissipate any static charges before removing the
iButton from its antistatic packaging. Do not touch
any components inside the HDE-200, except for
the
iButton socket, which is on the main interface
board next to the ribbon cable going to the front
iButton
