See section 3.2 for video output specifications. Revision 1.7 Page - 3 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAT-HD HD/SDI Video and AES Audio Fiber Transmitter 2.2. AES AUDIO CONNECTIONS (MODEL 7707VAT-HD) AES IN: AES audio input connections of the removable terminal block. The 7707VAT-HD accommodates four AES audio channels, designated as A1, A2, A3, and A4. Each of these four channels has a positive and negative terminal associated with it, and is able to accept balanced or unbalanced AES without card configuration. Balanced and unbalanced audio signals are connected as follows: Balanced: Connect positive and negative audio signals to the corresponding positive and negative terminals of the 7707VAT-HD. This connection arrangement yields a nominal 110Ω input impedance for balanced audio signals. Unbalanced: Connect unbalanced audio signals to the positive input terminal of the 7707VAT-HD. Leave the negative input terminal unconnected. This connection arrangement yields a nominal 75Ω input impedance for unbalanced audio signals. See section 3.3 for AES audio input specifications. 2.3. AES AUDIO CONNECTIONS (MODEL 7707VAT-U-HD) AES AUDIO IN: Unbalanced AES audio inputs for four AES audio pairs (2 groups) designated as A1, A2, A3, and A4 are available on four BNC connectors. 2.4. OPTICAL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS FIBER OUTPUT: This is the optical output for the 7707VAT-HD. This output should be connected to the FIBER IN connector of a companion 7707VAR-HD module with a suitable fiber optic cable. The 7707VAR-HD maintains active output video while input video is not suitable for transmission (VID…LOS or STD…ERR condition. See section 4.2.1). In this case, active picture will be grey. The connector is a female SC/PC (shown), ST/PC, or FC/PC connection as specified at the time of purchase. This optical output is available in 1310nm, 1550nm, up to sixteen CWDM wavelengths (ITU-T G.694.2 compliant) and up to 40 DWDM wavelengths (ITU-T G.694.1 compliant). The output wavelength or DWDM channel number is marked on the rear panel of each module. When connected directly to a companion module, the output is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cable. If not connected directly (i.e. connected through CWDM, DWDM, WDM, or splitter/combiner) the output is compatible only with single-mode fiber optic cable. " Do not hook up the 7707VAT-HD DWDM cards and 7707VAR-HD cards directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VAT-HD DWDM card produces +7dBm of power which will damage the receiver if connected directly. " Do not hook up the 7707VAT-HD cards that output more than -7dBm of power (see 7707VAT-HD specifications for output power of various laser types) and 7707VARHD-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VAT-HD cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will damage the receiver if connected directly.

As there is not enough room on the product to place the label it is reproduced here in the manuals. • There is no date of manufacture on this label as it can be traced by bar code label placed on the Printed circuit board of each Evertz plug-in module • The Model number is one of: 7707VAT13-HD, 7707VAT15-HD, 7707VATxx-HD, (xx = 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) 7707VATDyyy-HD (Dyyy represents ITU Grid Channel: D200, D210, D220, D230, D240, D250, D260, D270, D280, D290, D300, D310, D320, D330, D340, D350, D360, D370, D380, D390, D400, D410, D420, D430, D440, D450, D460, D470, D480, D490, D500, D510, D520, D530, D540, D550, D570, D580, D590, D600) Figure 2-2: Reproduction of Laser Certification and Identification Label Revision 1.7 Page - 5 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAT-HD HD/SDI Video and AES Audio Fiber Transmitter 2.5.4. Handling and Connecting Fibers " Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the optical end face of a connector before making a connection. The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the frame that does not have a suitable I/O module. For further information about care and handling of fiber optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design section of this manual binder.

WHAT IS VISTALINK®? VistaLINK® is Evertz’s remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a standard computer network protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other. VistaLINK® provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server. Card configuration through VistaLINK® PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally, VistaLINK® enables the user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration has been carried out. There are 3 components of SNMP: 1. An SNMP, manager also known as a Network Management System (NMS), is a computer running special software that communicates with the devices in the network. Evertz VistaLINK® Pro Manager graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and control Evertz VistaLINK® enabled fiber optic products. 2. Managed devices (such as 7707VAT-HD and 7707VAR-HD cards), each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK® enabled 7700 series modules reside in the 3RU 7700FR-C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC VistaLINK® frame controller module, which serves as the Agent. 3. A virtual database, known as the Management Information Base (MIB), lists all the variables being monitored, which both the Manager and Agent understand. Please contact Evertz for further information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS. For more information on connecting and configuring the VistaLINK® network, see the 7700FC Frame Controller chapter. 6.2.
