Revision 1.9 7700PTX-MVP - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7700PTX Universal Protocol Translator module provides an interface between third-party and
Evertz equipment. The 7700PTX communicates with third-party equipment either via one of four serial
ports or via a built in Ethernet port. These ports can provide bi-directional protocol support. The
7700PTX is equipped with 20 general purpose inputs that can be used for the purposes of alarming or
tally.
Function:
The function of the 7700PTX generally falls into one of four categories:
1. Third-Party Router Control: In this mode the 7700PTX affords VistaLINK®the ability to control
and monitor third-party routers. The 7700PTX can convey UMD information to Evertz
monitoring equipment.
2. Third-Party UMD Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX translates third-party UMD protocol data
into a format suitable for Evertz monitoring equipment.
3. Third-Party Switcher Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX extracts tally information from third-
party switchers and translates and conveys that tally information to Evertz monitoring
equipment.
4. Third-Party Device Control: In this mode the 7700PTX allows VistaLINK®to control third-party
devices such as satellite controllers.
Features:
•4 serial ports RS232/422 selectable
•20 opto-isolated General Purpose inputs (GPI)
•Selectable +5V or +12V supply for driving GPI over longer cable runs
•GPI easily accessed through pin-headers (2x6 Phoenix Terminal Blocks) on the rear plate
•Modular, conveniently fits into 7700FR-C 3RU frame
•Module status LED and 20 GPI LEDs for simple GPI input diagnostics
•Frame status trigger
•VistaLINK®- capable for remote monitoring and control via SNMP (using VistaLINK®PRO)
1.1. PORTS
The 7700PTX-MVP is an Under Monitor Display (UMD) protocol converter that translates unidirectional
protocols from Other Vendor Equipment (OVE) into a protocol suitable for the Evertz MVP.
The 7700PTX-MVP has the following ports for protocol usage:
•4 serial ports
•1 10/100 Ethernet port
•20 General purpose inputs

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
7700PTX-MVP - 2 Revision 1.9
The 7700PTX-MVP can:
•Receive 1 protocol per serial port
•Receive up to 4 TCP protocol streams, one for each unique configurable TCP port
•Receive status data via the 20 general purpose inputs
•Transmit data over each of its serial ports
•Transmit data to a maximum of 12 peers via TCP
1.2. UMD PROTOCOLS
1.2.1. Incoming
The 7700PTX-MVP supports the following incoming protocols:
1. Leitch Up/Down timer
2. Image Video
3. Television Systems Limited (TSL)
4. Buftek crosspoint UMD
1.2.2. Outgoing
The 7700PTX-MVP transmits only the Image Video protocol over serial or TCP.
1.2.3. Protocol Stream Combiner
The PTX can combine incoming protocol streams received over various incoming ports into a single
stream intended for a single PPV. For instance, data received on serial ports 1 and 2 can
simultaneously be routed to serial port 3.
1.2.4. Protocol Stream Replicator
The PTX can send a protocol stream received on an incoming port to more than one outgoing port. For
example, an Up/Down timer protocol received on serial port 1 can be sent to serial ports 1, 2, 3, 4, and
up to 12 outgoing TCP connections via the Ethernet port.
1.2.5. Protocol Routing
Incoming data streams can be independently routed to outgoing ports. For instance, data received on
serial port 1 can be routed to serial port 2. Data received on serial port 3 can be routed to serial ports 1
and 3.

"The 7700PTX-MVP’s fourth serial port is not RS-422 capable.
4.6. CONNECTING TO UP/DOWN TIMER
Third party UDTs often offer two serial communications options: an RS-232 output or an RS-422
output. The default communications settings are 9600 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity.
Unless otherwise specified when ordering, RS-232 is the default output. Sometimes the rear cover of
the UDT must be removed to determine which output option is installed.
The UDT should be configured so that it outputs serial data in hh:mm:ss format (NOT hh:mm:ss.ff).
4.6.1. Accessing Serial Communications
To access the serial communications options, press the SHIFT-7 key combination. The UDT lower
display indicates which option is currently selected. The display will read — —:— —:00 for continuous
second output (HH:MM:SS), and — —:— —.30 for continuous frame output (HH:MM:SS.FF).
Alternately, ‘25’ may be displayed instead of ‘30’ when using EBU timecode.
"NOTE: While accessing the serial communications options, the UDT will
automatically pause both channels and suspend all other timing operations.
4.6.2. Changing the Output Options
To change the output options, press the <+> (plus) key to step through the selections. Press the
START/STOP key to accept a particular output option. This section may be exited at any time by again
pressing the <Shift> and <7> key combination or Clear All.

4.8. PROTOCOL TRANSLATION CONFIGURATION
"The 7700PTX-MVP must be rebooted for any protocol translation parameter
changes to take effect.
4.8.1. Incoming Ports
The 7700PTX-MVP can receive data on its serial ports, GPIs, or Ethernet port. Incoming protocol
translation configuration specifies which protocols, if any, will be received on a particular 7700PTX-
MVP port.
4.8.1.1. Serial
The serial ports of the 7700PTX-MVP support the following incoming protocols:
•None (off)
•Up/Down Timer
•Image Video
•TSL
•Buftek Crosspoint UMD
None indicates no protocol is to be received on the serial port – effectively rendering it off. Thus, in
order to enable a serial port to receive incoming data a protocol other than None needs to be selected.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
7700PTX-MVP - 14 Revision 1.9
As an example, suppose we have the setup of Figure 4-7:
Figure 4-7: Incoming Serial Port Example Setup
The corresponding incoming serial port translation configuration would be:
Port Protocol
1 Up/Down Timer
2 TSL
3 Image Video
4 None
Table 4-8: Serial Port Translation Configuration

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
Revision 1.9 7700PTX-MVP - 15
4.8.1.2. General Purpose Inputs
As shown in Figure 4-8, the 7700PTX-MVP has 20 general-purpose inputs. Each input has an internal
pull-up resistor.
Figure 4-8: GPI Pins
To enable GPI signal monitoring the protocol associated with the GPIs must be set to GPI. If set to
None, GPI monitoring will not occur. The Virtual Offset field represents the offset added to the physical
GPI pin number when determining the Virtual GPI (VGPI) pin number. The states of the VGPI pin
numbers are transmitted to the MVP. If more than 20 VGPIs are required, then more than one
7700PTX-MVP is required – each with a unique Virtual Offset.
Physical GPI Number Virtual Offset Virtual GPI Number
1 0 1
2 20 22
3 40 43
4 0 4
Figure 4-9: Virtual GPI Numbers

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
7700PTX-MVP - 16 Revision 1.9
By default, each GPI pin has an Active Low setting of nor no. The association between the GPI pin
signal, Active Low setting, and VGPI state is summarized in Table 4-9.
GPI Pin Signal Active Low Field Setting Virtual GPI State
Low n Off
Low y On
High n On
High y Off
Table 4-9: VGPI States
Typically, a GPI pin connects to a contact closure which is tri-stated when off and drives 0 volts when
on. For this scenario, the Active Low field should be set to yes.
4.8.1.3. Ethernet
From an incoming perspective, the Ethernet port can receive data over a maximum of four TCP ports.
These are referred to as Ethernet Sub-Ports. Thus, the 7700PTX-MVP can receive TCP data from up
to 4 different hosts – one for each Sub-Port.
An incoming Ethernet Sub-Port has the following parameters:
•IP Address of host
•TCP port over which data will be received by the 7700PTX-MVP
•Type of protocol
The Ethernet Sub-Ports of the 7700PTX-MVP support the following incoming protocols:
•None (off)
•Up/Down Timer
•Image Video
•TSL
•Buftek Crosspoint UMD
None indicates no protocol is to be received on the Sub-Port port – effectively rendering it off. Thus, in
order to enable a Sub-Port port to receive incoming data, the following parameters must be configured:
•A protocol other than None
•The IP address of the transmitting host
•The TCP port to which the transmitting host is sending the data
As an example suppose we have the setup of Figure 4-10 where an Image Video console with an IP
address of 192.168.18.22 transmits data to the 7700PTX-MVP over TCP port 9800:
Figure 4-10: Incoming Ethernet Sub-Port Example
