Revision 1.1 7780DLY-ASI - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7780DLY-ASI is a full function ASI Delay module designed for applications such as: satellite uplink,
redundant path matching, and matching delays in the compressed domain caused by multi-path
compression and distribution.
The 7780DLY-ASI will delay any transport streams with any content (MPEG-2, H.264, VC-1, data, audio,
etc…). It is completely agnostic of the content of the stream.
The 7780DLY-ASI offers up to 16 seconds of delay in 1 ms increments.
Model Video Standard Delay Range Bitrate
7780DLY-ASI DVB ASI 65 µs up to 16
seconds From 100Kbits/s to
213Mbits/s
The 7780DLY-ASI ASI Delay modules will delay the complete ASI stream bit by bit maintaining any
transport stream timing and ASI packet distribution. The delay can be set in seconds with 1 ms
increments.
With the broadcast environment in mind, the modules feature bypass relay protection to one output. The
7780DLY-ASI ASI Delay modules are housed in a 3RU frame that will hold up to seven 7780DLY-ASI
modules or a 1RU frame that will hold up to three modules.
Features:
•1 ASI input 100kb/s to 213Mb/s and 2 ASI outputs
•Delay from few bytes to 16 seconds in 1ms increment
•Support 188 and 204 bytes packets (Auto-detect)
•ASI input test includes:
- Sync Byte error and Sync loss detection
- Total Bitrate
- Useful Bitrate
- Null packet Bitrate
- Continuity count error
- List of active PIDs
•Controlled by VistaLINK®PRO or Card Edge
•Fully integrated with the industry leading Evertz VistaLINK®PRO NMS system
•OSD (On-Screen Display) on SDI output for status and configuration display
•7 programmable preset delays controllable by GPI and VistaLINK®PRO
•Passive bypass for increased safety

2. INSTALLATION
The 7780DLY-ASI module comes with a companion rear plate that has 4 BNC connectors and a 25 pin D
connector and 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.
Figure 2-1: 7780DLY-ASI Rear Panel
2.1. ASI CONNECTIONS
ASI INPUT: Input BNC connector for the DVB ASI signal.
ASI OUTPUT (VIDEO OUTPUT): Two BNC ASI outputs are provided. Output 1 is protected by a
bypass relay, which will activate in the event of power loss to the module. The
remaining output is not bypass protected.
2.2. SDI OUTPUT OVER OSD
SDI OSD OUT: This BNC is used to connect a SDI video monitor to view the on screen display.

4. STATUS LEDS
The 7780DLY-ASI has 2 LED Status indicators on the main circuit board and 1 indicator on the sub-
module to show operational status of the card at a glance. Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2 shows the location of
the LEDs and card edge controls.
Two large LEDS on the front of the main 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 the board power
is good and the module detects a valid input.
SIGNAL PRESENT: This Green LED will be ON when there is a valid ASI signal present at the module
input.
One LED on the sub-module (7700CC) indicates the presence of the ASI TS input.
