4. STATUS LEDS
The 7800IDA8-3G has eight LED Status indicators on the front card edge to show operational status of
the card at a glance. Figure 7-1 shows the location of the LEDs.
Two large Module Status LEDs on the front of the board indicate the general health of the module:
LOCAL FAULT: This Red LED indicates poor module health and will be On during the absence of a
valid input signal or if a local input power fault exists (i.e.: a blown fuse). The
LOCAL FAULT indication can also be reported to the frame through the FRAME
STATUS jumper.
MODULE OK: This Green LED indicates good module health. It will be On when a valid input
signal is present, and board power is good.
There are 18 small LEDs that indicate additional status of the module. Figure 4-1 identifies the function of
some of the status LEDs present on the board.

5. CARD EDGE MODULE CONTROL
5.1. CARD-EDGE CONTROL
The 7800IDA8-3G is equipped with a push-button shaft encoder and a four character dot matrix display to
control various functions on the card. The push-button shaft encoder is used to navigate through a menu
system to set and monitor various parameters for the module. When not in the menu system the four
character dot matrix display rotates through the module name, firmware version and IP address.
5.1.1. Navigating the Card-Edge
You can use the push-button shaft encoder to move up and down the list of available parameters to
adjust. To adjust any parameter, use the shaft encoder to move up or down to the desired parameter and
then press the shaft encoder in. If the parameter is a numerical value, the number will increase if you
rotate the shaft encoder clockwise and decrease if you rotate the shaft encoder counter-clockwise. If the
parameter contains a list of options, you can cycle through the list by rotating the shaft encoder in either
direction. The parameter values are changed as you cycle through the list.
When you have stopped at the desired value, depress the shaft encoder. This will return you to the
parameter, select the menu item that you are setting (the display shows the parameter name you were
setting). To change another parameter, rotate the shaft encoder to select other parameters. If neither the
toggle switch nor pushbutton is operated for several seconds the card edge control will exit the menu
system and return to an idle state.
Throughout the descriptions of the Menu items, default values are shown with bolded text.
5.2. CARD-EDGE MENU STRUCTURE
The following is a brief description of the top level of the menu tree that appears when you enter the ON
screen menu. Selecting one of these items will take you down into the next menu level to set the value of
that parameter.
DPSL
Sets the orientation of the four-digit LED display
PRST
Allows the saving or recalling of presets
VID
Displays or sets the operating video standard
QUIT
Exits the menu
5.3. SETTING THE DISPLAY ORIENTATION
The DSPL parameter controls the display orientation of the four digit LED display.
HORZ
The display will be shown horizontally (ideal when installed in a 1RU or
standalone frame).
VERT The display will be shown vertically (ideal when installed in a 3RU frame).

6. VISTALINK®MODULE CONTROL
This section describes the VistaLINK®control and monitoring available on the 7800IDA8-3G. For
illustration purposes, the +UMX+IG option is shown. Special mention will be noted in the title if that section
applies only to specific option versions of the module (i.e. +UMX only).
6.1. WHAT IS
VISTA LINK®?
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 products.
2. Managed devices, each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the NMS through an SNMP
Agent. Evertz VistaLINK®enabled 7700/7800 series modules reside in the 3RU 7800FR 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.

Page - 12 Revision 1.2
6.5. MIXER CONTROL (+UMX, +IG AND +DMX VERSIONS ONLY)
The Mixer Control tabs control the output audio. There are 16 individual channel mixers to control. These
Output Channel mixers perform audio inversion, audio gain adjustment and audio channel swapping for
each of the 16 output audio channels. Using the X and Y inputs of each Output Channel Mixer an
additional level of mono-mixing is also available for each channel of output audio.
For the sake of brevity, only the Mixer Control Ch1-4 control tab will be discussed in this manual. Control
tabs for Mixer Control Ch5-8, Mixer Control Ch9-12 and Mixer Control Ch13-16 are identical in their
operation. Furthermore, the controls for Channel 1 will be described in detail, as the controls for Channel
2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 operate in an identical fashion.
Figure 6-4: Mixer Control 1-4 Tab
6.5.1. Source X/Y
The Source X/Y control enables the user to route one of the 16 internally processed input audio channels
