1. OVERVIEW
The 7800EMR-HYDRA2 interface module provides 7800EMR existing and new EMR audio systems
the ability to integrate directly to Calrec Hydra2* audio systems, by means of a seamless bidirectional
translation between Evertz TDM and Calrec Hydra2. Featuring primary and secondary Hydra2 paths
that are capable of 512 bidirectional audio channels (at 48kHz), primary and secondary TDM paths
all are monitored and provide an automatic failover mechanism, in addition there is a licensable
feature to allow for name transfer, from a Magnum Unified Control System to the Calrec Hydra 2
system for the appropriate audio labels.
The 7800EMR–HYDRA2 interface module just makes sense, it simplifies system wiring, configuration
and overall management of the audio signals, monitoring and name transfers, not to mention it
provides path redundancy as well as saving rack and module slots space. When we compare this to
a traditional or equivalent system one would require multiple MADI lines to interlink the systems via
numerous MADI conversion boxes on both ends, which to a key point do not have an inherently
incorporated path redundancy as seen with Hydra2/TDM Audio paths, and then names would be
handled in a separate protocol translator card with additional complicated configuration required.
Features & Benefits
•Compact 2 Slot design
•512 mono channels
•Main and Redundant paths with auto fail over or dual path
•Reference Via Frame or external connection
•High Availability, 24/7 Design
•Full modular design
•Hot swappable
•Passive I/O rear plate
•Redundant Frame power supply
•Comprehensive system monitoring bus
•VistaLINK® PRO SNMP monitoring of I/O modules
•Supports Backwards compatibility to 7700FR
* Hyrda2 is a Trade Mark of Calrec Audio Ltd.

3. INSTALLATION
Before handling the card, it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap to be worn.
7800EMR-HYDRA2 module must have minimum 1 slot vacant in the frame. Each rear plate can house
one 7800EMR-HYDRA2 module.
3.1. Installation of 7800EMR-HYDRA2 on 7800FR Frame
Step 1: Install the 7800EMR-HYDRA2 rear plate to the 7800 Frame with screws provided and make
sure the orientation of the card as is shown in Figure 3-1.

Step 2: Insert the 7800EMR-HYDRA2 card in the 7800 Frame and make sure the orientation of the
card will be as is shown in Figure 3-2.

3.2. FRONT CARD EDGE CONTROLS AND LEDS
The 7800EMR-HYDRA2 front card edges have some key controls and indicators that can help in the
installation and debugging processes. Figure 3-3 shows the card edges and Table 3-1 describe the
expected behaviour of each component. When applied relevant signal to the card, the following card
edge LED’s should light up.

4.3. HID ADDRESS
This section allows the user to check the HID address of H2M module. Go the menu (3) Audio
Configuration, then (4) Hydra Module Options, then (10) Send HID request to Hydra module.
HID address is used to communicate with the Calrec.
If H2M module not plugged in to the Hydra2 card, there will be no communication between Calrec and
Hydra2 card. HID should not be detected.

Setting up Calrec’s Test Rack
Secondary SFP should configured same as Primary SFP only difference will be control and router SFP
location (Use Secondary SFP location)
1. Calrec rack IP address is set to 192.1.1.0, to change this please refer to Calrec’s initial setup for
Evertz document or the label on top of the chassis. Set your test pc’s 2nd network adaptor IP
address to 192.1.134.0 and Netmask 255.255.0.0 and MAC address to 000D07FF8600 (also called
the locally administered address).
2. Insert the two Eoptolink Copper SFP’s provided, one into the CONTROL card’s Surface port 1 or 2
and the other into any of the ROUTER card’s Hydra2 ports. Also plug a PAL/NTSC video reference
into Video 2 Sync input on the central RESET card – see picture below.
CAUTION: Do not hot plug SFPs into the Calrec Rack
Figure 4-6 : Carlec Setup
3. Plug the Control CAT5 cable into the test pc’s 2nd network connection and power cycle the Calrec
Rack. Wait 30 seconds until Active and Module OK leds both on for CONTROL and ROUTER cards.
Confirm that you can ping 192.1.1.0.
