Revision 1.6 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7700R Evertz modular series is a small form factor router designed for critical applications where
space is limited, whether for existing facilities that have run out of rack space or for trucks and vans.
The 7700R16X16 series uses only 3 slots of a traditional Evertz 7700FR-C Multiframe and has its own
integrated controller, while the 7700R8X8 series uses only 2 slots of a traditional Evertz 7700FR-C
Multiframe. This means five 16x16 routers can fit in just 3RU or seven 8x8 routers.
The 7700R16X16 series consists of 16 equalized inputs and 16 reclocked outputs, while the 7700R8X8
series consists of 8 equalized inputs and 8 reclocked outputs. Each input and each output is interfaced
through a common crosspoint that is controlled by the main processing unit.
The processing unit interfaces the various control options such as Q-Link, Ethernet and serial with the
crosspoint, allowing full control of the routing resources. The processing unit also provides a video
reference to the crosspoint to maintain clean switching on the switch line.
Features:
•Hot-swappable, front-loading modular 16x16 or 8x8 routing
•Full support for SMPTE 424M (2.97Gb/s), SMPTE 292M (1.5Gb/s), SMPTE 259M (270, 360,
143Mb/s), ASI with all outputs
•Features independent isolated outputs to ensure no cross channel loading effects (no need to
terminate unused outputs)
Inputs:
•8 or 16 Inputs
•SMPTE 424M (2.97Gb/s), SMPTE 292M (1.5Gb/s), SMPTE 259M (270, 360, 143Mb/s), ASI
•Return Loss > 15 dB up to 1.5 Gb/s
•Automatic cable equalization up to 100m at 1.5 Gb/s
Outputs:
•8 or 16 re-clocked outputs
•Return loss > 15 dB up to 1.5 Gb/s
•Wideband jitter < 0.2 UI

2.1. VIDEO CONNECTIONS
INPUTS: Input connectors will accept serial digital signals compatible with SMPTE 424M,
SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 259M standards.
OUTPUTS: The reclocked connectors are used to route the input video. Inputs can be routed
via various control options detailed in section 4.2.
MONITOR OUTPUT: The connector provides a video output that is controlled by one of the control
options.
2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
REFERENCE: The Reference signal may be NTSC or PAL colour black or tri-level sync. There
must be a reference present to ensure the crosspoint changes occur during the
field-blanking interval. If the reference is missing then the routing will occur
asynchronously. If you experience problems with clean switching then refer to
application note AN-0008.
Jumper J13 on the 7700R Series selects whether the selected reference input is
terminated to 75 ohms (default) or to high impedance. The Genlock reference
may also be supplied to the 7700R series card through the frame Genlock if the
7700FR-G frame or 7800FR is being utilized.
2.3. Q-LINK CONNECTION (FOR 7700R16X16 ONLY)
Q-LINK: The rear of the 7700R16X16 Series has a BNC connector to allow connection to
an external Q-Link. Q-Link is a dedicated control system specific to Evertz brand
of Quartz products.
2.3.1. Manual Remote Control - Using Q-Link (For 7700R16X16 only)
All 7700R16X16 series routers can be connected to other Evertz routers and remote control panels by
a single coaxial link called Q-Link. This link uses standard 75Ωvideo cable daisy-chained from frame to
frame and from panel to panel over a maximum cable length of 500m. Each end of the link must be
terminated in 75Ω.
This daisy-chain method ensures the best transmission quality of the control signals down the cable.
Short cuts that might save cable (i.e. running stubs to some panels) are not recommended as this may,
under certain circumstances, cause data errors.
The system can support up to 8 devices. Each unit being connected to the Q-Link has its own address
switch, which is set up as part of the system configuration.

Note: The installer must fit a 75
Ω
terminator at each end of the cable.

2.5. ETHERNET CONNECTIONS
ETHERNET: There is one RJ-45 network connector on the rear panel. The RJ-45 connector is
an Ethernet port used for monitoring and control of the system, etc. See section
4.3.1 for information on connecting to an Ethernet network. See section 4.1.2 for
information on configuring the network address for the router.

Page - 6 Revision 1.67
2.5.1. Connecting to an Ethernet Network
The 7700R series can be used with 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps) or 1000BaseT
(1Gbps) twisted pair Ethernet cabling systems. When connecting for 10Base-T systems, category 3, 4,
or 5 UTP cable as well as EIA/TIA – 568 100 ΩSTP cable may be used. When connecting for
100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable is required. The cable must be “straight-through” with an
8-pin modular RJ-45 connector at each end. Establish the network connection by plugging one end of
the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the 7700R Series and the other end into a port of a supporting
Ethernet hub or switch.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pin-out information
in Table 2-3. A colour coded wiring table is provided in Table 2-3 for the current RJ-45 standards (AT&T
258A or EIA/TIA 258B colour coding shown). Also, refer to the notes following the table for additional
wiring guide information.

Table 2-3: Standard RJ-45 Wiring Colour Codes
Note the following cabling information for this wiring guide:
•10BaseT and 100BaseT use the same pins (a crossover cable made for one will also work with
the other).
•Pairs may be solid colours and not have a stripe.
•Category 5 cable must use Category 5 rated connectors.
The maximum cable run between the router and the supporting hub is 300 ft (90 m). The maximum
combined cable run between any two end points (i.e. router and PC/laptop via network hub) is 675 feet
(205 m).
Devices on the Ethernet network continually monitor the receive data path for activity as a means of
checking that the link is working correctly. When the network is idle, the devices also send a link test
signal to one another to verify link integrity.
The gigabit Ethernet port has a green and a yellow LED marked respectively “ACT” and “LNK”. The
“ACT” LED will blink green with Ethernet activity. The “LNK” LED will illuminate yellow when the
connection speed is 1000base-T and will be off for 100base-T. The Ethernet standard mandates auto-
negotiation so crossover cables are no longer required. The initial TCP/IP settings of the unit can be set
through the configuration serial port (Serial 1).

4. OPERATION – SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
4.1. SETTING COMMUNICATION SETTINGS FROM THE CARD EDGE
A shaft encoder and four digit dot-matrix display allows card edge navigation for a set of menus used to
configure the 7700R series router. To enter the menu system, rotate the shaft encoder in either
direction.
On all menus, there are three selectable items: View, Set and End. Selecting View will display the
current value of the item, while End will return the display to the main menu. Selecting Set will allow
the current setting to be changed.
To adjust any parameter, use the shaft encoder to move up or down to the desired parameter and
press the shaft encoder. The item will be underlined and flashing indicating that you can now adjust the
parameter. Using the shaft encoder, adjust the parameter to its desired value.
When you have stopped at the desired value, press the shaft encoder again. This will update the
parameter to the selected value. Continue selecting and adjusting other parameters. Scroll to the End
option when you have completed your selection.
The following chart provides a brief description of the menus that are accessible through the front
panel.
QLAD Sets the Q-Link address of the device.
IPAD Sets the IP address of the device.
NETM Sets the Netmask.
DHCP
Controls the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol function.

Note: The router must be rebooted in order for network changes to take effect.

4.2. ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION AND MONITORING MENU
The 7700R series router contains a configuration and monitoring menu that allows the user to change
some internal settings of the device and also to monitor various components on the router. Before
accessing the configuration and monitoring menu, the IP address of the device must be set.
The dot-matrix display on the front will show the default factory setting of the TCP/IP address of the
router.
The configuration and monitoring menu can be accessed using the TELNET network protocol. As
standard, the 7700R series uses port 4000 as its server port, which allows control and monitoring to be
achieved from a PC using the Telnet function. Using any TELNET client, telnet into the configuration
and monitoring menu of the device by typing telnet followed by the IP address, and then followed by
4000. (For example, telnet 192.168.0.0 4000). Login as user root and Password evertz.

Note: Access to the configuration and monitoring menu is done through port 4000.
If there is a problem communicating over Ethernet, then the user should check that there is a network
connection to the router from a PC command prompt by typing ping followed by the IP address. (For
example, ping 192.168.0. 0)
All menu items can be accessed using the number listed beside the menu item. Once in a menu, use
the numbers beside the items to set the value. Follow the on screen instructions to set the value of the
parameter, save and exit the configuration.
When all desired changes have been made, exit the telnet section by hitting Ctrl-D or closing the telnet
session.
If network communication is not available, the menu can be accessed via serial connection as well.
Serial cable has to be connected to the four pin header (J3) of the card with the Baud rate 115200, 8,
none, 1, none.
Once the prompt for login appear enter root and for password enter evertz. At the # prompt type the
following command:
#telnet localhost 4000
Enter root/evertz for login and password to enter to serial menu.

Note: To change the password, at the # prompt type “passwd” and then follow the
on screen instruction.
