Revision 1.2 Page -1
1 OVERVIEW
The 7800TR-32X24 is a Tally Router module that is housed in a 7700FR or 7800FR MultiFrame. It
provides an Ethernet-controlled interface for 32 General Purpose Outputs (GPOs) and 24 General
Purpose Inputs (GPIs). All General Purpose I/O (GPIO) are provided on two, 62-pin high density D-Sub
connectors on the rear plate. A gigabit 1000baseT Ethernet connection is used to configure and control
the unit.
The unit is configured with SNMP using the VistaLINK™ software. Advanced features such as edge
triggering on inputs, and variable-length pulse outputs are easily setup with the graphical user
interface. Each input or output can be set to normal logic (normally-open) or inverted logic (normally-
closed). In addition, the state of the inputs and outputs can be monitored or changed manually for
debugging purposes.
The Tally Router provides wet power on both of the rear 62-pin D-Sub connectors. This can be used to
power passive devices (tally lights, buttons, buzzers, etc) and to simplify wiring to GPIs and GPOs. The
wet power can be configured to come from either a 5V or 12V internal power source.
The MAGNUM control system with the MAGNUM-TALLY software module integrates the GPI and GPO
from the Tally Router into a single unified interface. The GPI and GPO of the Tally Router are
represented graphically as a virtual tally pin grid. Each GPI and GPO signal is given a source and
destination name. Custom triggers and behaviors can be easily setup to activate tally lights on
cameras, trigger Under Monitor Displays (UMDs), activate switchers, replay and record systems, and
more.
The 7800TR-32X24 occupies two slots in a 7700FR or 7800FR multiframe. The rear plate contains all
I/O connectors and is fixed to the rear of the frame. The 7800TR-32x24 module is hot-swappable from
the front of the frame. This means the module can be removed and re-inserted without disconnecting
the rear plate or any of the cabling.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 REAR PANEL
Figure 3-1 is an illustration of the rear plate I/O module that accompanies the 7800TR-32x24. The rear
plate occupies two slots in a 7700FR multiframe. There are two female high-density 62-pin D-Sub
connectors for the 32 general purpose outputs, 24 general purpose inputs, and wet voltage. There is
also a gigabit Ethernet jack for configuration and control. Install the rear plate onto the rear of the
multiframe in a free location of your choice. Secure the rear plate using the four provided M2.5 x 8mm
screws. Take note of the two slot numbers the rear plate occupies.


A ribbon cable joins the two boards inside the rear plate. When installing the rear
plate into a frame, take care that this ribbon cable does not become dislodged at
either end or pinched against the frame metal.

3.2 ETHERNET CONNECTION
The 7800TR-32x24 is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port. It can be used with either 100base-TX
(100 Mbps) or 1000base-T (1 Gbps) twisted pair Ethernet networks. Category 5e UTP cable or better
is required with a maximum length of less than 100 meters (328 feet). The cable must be “straight
through” with an 8-pin modular connector at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one
end of the cable into the tally router and the other end into an Ethernet hub or switch.
The straight-through Ethernet cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout
information in Table 3-1. A color code wiring chart is provided in Table 3-1 for the current Ethernet
standards (AT&T 258A or EIA/TIA 258B color coding shown). Also refer to the notes following the table
for additional wiring guide information.

The gigabit Ethernet port has two green LEDs marked “LNK” and “ACT”. The “LNK” LED will illuminate
green when the connection speed is 1000base-T and will be off for 100base-T. The “ACT” LED will
blink green with Ethernet activity. 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.

The current firmware (v1.00 b182) does not support 10baseT link speeds.
The link may come up, but no data will be transmitted.
