1. OVERVIEW
The 7760VMS-HD is a Video Monitoring tool for two 1.5Gb/s HDTV serial digital video signals. The
7760VMS-HD has a HDTV split-screen output from two input signals and also provides a monitoring
downconverted split screen. The 7760VMS-HD accepts all the popular international SMPTE 292M video
formats. This module is useful in mobile broadcast vehicles and broadcast plants to compare primary and
secondary video feeds.
This 7700 series module provides 3 reclocked primary outputs and 1 reclocked secondary output. The
7760VMS-HD occupies two card slots in the 3RU frame which will hold up to 7 modules, or 1 slot in the
1RU frame which will hold up to 3 modules.
Features:
•Two Serial digital 1.5Gb/s HD inputs per SMPTE 292M
•3 Reclocked DA outputs from input 1 and 1 Reclocked DA output from input 2
•Mixer takes left half of input 1 and right half of input 2 and keys them together to form the HD Program
Output
•Monitoring downconverter for SDI monitoring of split signal
•Occupies two card slots in the 3RU frame, which will hold up to 7 modules, or the 1RU frame, which
will hold up to three modules
•Card edge LEDs indicate module health, video present
•Tally output on Frame Status bus upon loss of input signals
•VistaLINK®-capable offering remote control and configuration capabilities via SNMP (using
VistaLINK® PRO, 9000NCP or 9000NCP2 Network Control Panel) is available when modules are
used with the 3RU frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK®Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame

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

The GPO outputs are internally pulled up to +3.3 volts DC. Figure 2-3 shows the circuitry for each of the
I/O pins.

The GPIO cables can be secured into the removable portion of the terminal strips using a small
screwdriver. The removable part of the terminal strip is then inserted into the rear panel and secured
using the hold down screws.
