2. INSTALLATION
The 7760VMS-HD comes with a companion rear plate that occupies two slots in the frame. For
information on inserting the module into the frame see the 7700FR chapter section 3.
Figure 2-1: 7760VMS-HD Rear IO Module
2.1. HD AND SD VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
HD/SDI INPUT A, B: Input BNC connectors for 10-bit serial digital signals compatible with the
SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M-C standards. The HD/SDI INPUT A connector is
the Primary input and the HD/SDI INPUT B connector is for the Secondary input.
Both input video feeds must be clock-locked to the genlock signal in order to
properly split the picture.
HD/SDI OUT A: These three BNC connectors are reclocked outputs from the HD/SDI INPUT A
connector.
HD/SDI OUT B: This BNC connector is a reclocked output from the HD/SDI INPUT B connector.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7760VMS-HD HD Video Monitoring Splitter
Revision 0.3 Page - 3
HD/SDI MONITOR OUTPUT: This BNC connector provides a split screen output in the same video
standard as the input video. The left portion of the picture comes from Input A and the right
portion of the picture comes from Input B.
SDI MONITOR OUTPUT: This BNC connector provides a downconverted version of the signal
on the HD/SDI MONITOR OUTPUT BNC. When the input video standard is standard
definition the downconverter is bypassed and this BNC connector become an additional
monitor output.
2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
For proper synchronization of the output video the module must be locked to a genlock signal of the output
video format. In addition, both input video feeds must be clock-locked to the genlock signal in order to
properly split the picture.
GENLOCK: The genlock signal may be NTSC or PAL colour black or tri-level sync (the same frame rate
as the input video format). The reference input type must be selected in the menu. Jumper
J17 on the 7760VMS-HD module selects whether the selected reference input is terminated
to 75 ohms (default) or high impedance.
2.3. GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS & OUTPUTS
The 6 pin terminal strip has 2 general purpose inputs and 2 general purpose outputs. The GPI inputs are
active low. This means that if you leave an input floating (not connected) then it will not be activated. The
user can activate GPIs simply by connecting the GPI input pins to Ground using a button, switch, relay or
an open collector transistor. The inputs are internally pulled up to either +5 or +12 volts DC set by jumper

5. CARD EDGE CONTROLS
The 7760VMS-HD is equipped with an 8 position DIP switch, toggle switch, push button and a 4 character
dot matrix display to allow the user to select various functions. The DIP switch provides basic
configuration functions that will normally be set only once such as video standard selection, dot matrix
display orientation, and VistaLINK®remote control selection. All other card functions are available through
a menu system controlled by the toggle switch and push button and displayed on the 4 character dot
matrix display. (See section 6.2)
DIP switch 1 is located at the top of the DIP switch (farthest from to the card ejector). Table 5-1 gives an
overview of the DIP switch functions. Sections 5.1 give a detailed description of each of the DIP switch
functions.
"
There are two types of DIP switches possible. For slide switches the On (closed)
position is farthest from the front edge of the printed circuit board. For ‘piano key’
switches the On (closed) position is down or closest to the printed circuit board.

6. CARD EDGE MENUS
6.1. NAVIGATING THE CARD EDGE MENU SYSTEM
Status monitoring and control over the card’s parameters is provided via the 4-digit alphanumeric display
located on the card edge. The toggle switch and pushbutton are used to navigate through a menu system
to set various parameters for the module. In Status mode the menu system provides status of the card
only. To enter the menu system, press the pushbutton. This will bring you to the main setup menu where
you can use the toggle switch to move up and down the list of available sub menus. Once you have
chosen the desired sub menu, press the pushbutton to select the next menu level.
Once you are in the sub menu, there will be a list of parameters to adjust. To adjust any parameter, use
the toggle switch to move up or down to the desired parameter and press the pushbutton. Using the toggle
switch, adjust the parameter to its desired value. If the parameter is a numerical value, the number will
increase if you lift the toggle switch and decrease if you push down on the toggle switch. If the parameter
contains a list of choices, you can cycle through the list by pressing the toggle switch in either direction.
When you have stopped at the desired value, depress the pushbutton. This will update the parameter to
the selected value and return to the sub menu. To change another parameter, press the pushbutton to
enter the main menu system again and continue selecting and adjusting other parameters.
Each of the menu items is described in the following sections, with an explanation of what each choice
does. Throughout the descriptions of the menu items, the default values are shown in underlined text.

7.1. SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
The FRAME STATUS jumper J5, located at the front of the module determines whether local faults (as
shown by the Local Fault indicator) will be connected to the 7700FR frame's global status bus.
FRAME STATUS: To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the power
supply’s FRAME STATUS LED's and on the Frame's Fault Tally output) install this
jumper in the On position.
When this jumper is installed in the Off position local faults on this module will not
be monitored.
7.2. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
UPGRADE: The UPGRADE jumper J4 located at the front edge of the module, near the serial
port header, is used when firmware upgrades are being done to the module. For
normal operation it should be installed in the RUN position. See the Upgrading
Firmware section in the front of the binder for more information.
To upgrade the firmware in the module pull it out of the frame. Move Jumper J4 into
the UPGRADE position. Install the Upgrade cable provided (located in the vinyl
pouch in the front of this manual) onto header J24 near the card ejector. Re-install
the module into the frame. Run the upgrade as described in the Upgrading
Firmware section in the front of the binder. Once the upgrade is completed, remove
the module from the frame, move J4 into the RUN position, remove the upgrade
cable and re-install the module. The module is now ready for normal operation.
"Note that the baud rate for firmware upgrades is 115200 baud.

7.3. SELECTING WHETHER THE GENLOCK REFERENCE INPUT IS TERMINATED
TERM: The TERM jumper J17 located at the rear of the module is used to terminate the
genlock loop input. Then it is in the 75R position a 75 ohm terminating resistor will
connect the input to ground. When it is in the HI-Z position the genlock input will be
high impedance.
7.4. CONTROLLING GPI PULLUP VOLTAGE
Jumper J16, located at the rear of the module controls whether the GPI inputs are pulled up to 5 volts or
12 volts.
GPI SELECT: To pull the GPI inputs to 12 volts install this jumper in the position closest to edge of
the module.
To pull the GPI inputs to 5 volts install this jumper in the position closest to centre of
the module.

8. VISTALINK®REMOTE MONITORING/CONTROL
8.1. What is VistaLINK®?
VistaLINK®is Evertz’ remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet
network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a standard computer network
protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other.
VistaLINK®provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm
events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server. Card configuration through
VistaLINK®PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste
routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally, VistaLINK®enables the
user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration
has been carried out.
There are 3 components of SNMP:
1. An SNMP manager, also known as a Network Management System (NMS), is a computer running
special software that communicates with the devices in the network. Evertz VL-Fiber demo Manager
graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and
control Evertz VistaLINK®enabled fiber optic products.
2. Managed devices, (such as 7760VMS-HD), each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the
NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK®enabled 7700 series modules reside in the 3RU
7700FR-C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC VistaLINK®frame controller
module, which serves as the Agent.
3. A virtual database, known as the Management Information Base (MIB), lists all the variables being
