7710NR-HD HD/SD Noise Reducer
Revision 1.1 7710NR-HD-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7710NR-HD Noise Reducer with Image Enhancement provides high quality and cost effective noise
reduction for HD or SD video signals. The 7710NR-HD is ideal for use in television production facilities;
mobile broadcast vehicles, production and post-production facilities.
The 7710NR-HD allows the user to remove random Gaussian noise, impulsive noise, and other temporal
varying artifacts. The 7710NR-HD uses proprietary noise reduction processing that consists of five distinct
filters and a complex motion adaptive algorithm to combine and control the filtered results based on two
motion sensors. The module also provides user adjustable image enhancements to sharpen image
details.
The 7710NR-HD occupies two card slots in the 3RU frame (7700FR-C), which will hold up to 15 1-slot
modules or one slot in the 1RU frame (7701FR), which will hold up to three modules. The 7710NR-HD
modules may also be used in a standalone unit (S7701FR).
The units also provide card edge LEDs to indicate signal presence, genlock presence and audio groups
presence.
Features:
•One 1.5 Gb/s HD input (per SMPTE 292M) or 270 Mb/s SD input (per SMTPE 259M) auto sensing
•Three 1.5 Gb/s HD or 270 Mb/s SD outputs
•Full 10-bit I/O processing
•Gaussian, impulsive and temporal artifact noise reduction
•Image enhancements – user adjustable
•User presets to store noise reducer and image enhancement settings
•Split Screen comparison mode
•Full video processing functions, GBR gain YCrCb gain and offset, hue adjustment and RGB colour
limiter
•De-embeds Audio from HD video input and embeds into HD video output (2 groups)
•Moves VITC time code and Line 21 captions from the SD video into the SD video output
•Moves RP-188 VITC from HD input to HD output, recalculated for frame rate changes
•Moves HD closed captions from HD input to HD output
•On screen display for card configuration
•Card edge control and LEDs for video and audio presence and module status
•VistaLINK®- enabled offering remote control and configuration capabilities via SNMP (using
VistaLINK®PRO, 9000NCP, or 9000NCP2 Network Control Panel) is available when modules are
used with the 3RU 7700FR-C frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK®Frame Controller module in slot 1
of the frame.

2. INSTALLATION
The 7710NR-HD comes with a companion rear plate that occupies two slots in the frame. For information
on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.

2.1. VIDEO CONNECTIONS
HD/SDI INPUT: The input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the
SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M-C standard. The module can be set to a specific video
standard or set to automatically detect.
HD/SDI OUTPUT: These BNC connectors are used to output the noise reduced video as serial
component video, in the same standard as the input video.
OSD: This BNC connector is used to output the noise reduced video as serial component video in the
same standard as the input video and has on screen display menus (OSD) superimposed over
the video.

7710NR-HD-4 Revision 1.1
2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
For proper synchronization of the output video, the Noise Reducer must be locked to a genlock signal of
the output video format.
GENLOCK: This BNC is for connecting a video or tri-level sync reference and is auto-detected by the
module. Jumper J21 selects whether the reference input is terminated to 75 ohms or high
impedance (default). (See section 7.3). The Reference menu item is used to select the
correct type of video reference being used. The output video can be timed with respect to
the genlock video using the H Phase Offset and V Phase Offset menu items. (See section
6.3.1) When no Genlock is provided, the output video is timed with respect to the input
video.
