WARNING
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can
occur in a matter of milliseconds.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-HD DWDM cards and any 7707OE-HD series cards
directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707EO-HD DWDM card produces
+7dBm of power, which will damage the receiver if connected directly.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-HD cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707EO-HD specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707OE-HD-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707EO-HD cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

Revision 1.2.2 7707OE-HD-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707OE-HD is a VistaLINK®enabled, optical to electrical converter for SMPTE 292M (1.485Gb/s),
SMPTE 259M (143-360Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540Mb/s), DVB-ASI (270Mb/s) and SMPTE 310M
(19.4Mb/s) signals. Automatic reclocking, data rate selection and data rate indication is provided for rates
from 143Mb/s to 1.485Gb/s. Monitoring and control of card status and parameters is provided locally at the
card edge, and remotely via VistaLINK®. The 7707OE-HD accepts one fiber input and provides three
reclocked coaxial outputs.
The 7707OE-HD occupies one card slot and can be housed in either a 1RU frame, which will hold up to
three modules, or a 3 RU frame, which will hold up to 15 modules.
Features:
• Supports all SMPTE 292M standards at 1.485Gb/s
• Supports all SMPTE 259M standards with operation from 143Mb/s – 360Mb/s
• Supports SMPTE310M (19.4Mb/s), DVB-ASI (270Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540Mb/s), and
SMPTE 305M (SDTi) rates
• Auto rate selection and indication for all SDI and HD-SDI data rates from 143Mb/s to 1.485Gb/s
• Reclocked optical input, with selectable non-reclock mode – 3 outputs
• 1 output maintains polarity from input to output for DVB-ASI applications

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707OE-HD comes with a companion rear plate that has three BNC connectors and one SC/PC
(shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the
module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.

Figure 2-1: 7707OE-HD Rear Panel
OPTICAL INPUT Input for SDI optical signals. Available in SC/PC, ST/PC, FC/PC female
connectors. Accepts SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310M
optical signals and provides auto-rate selection and reclocking for rates from 143Mb/s to
1.485Gb/s. A non-reclocking mode is also selectable via card edge jumpers, or through the
VistaLINK®interface. This wide range input accepts optical wavelengths of 1270nm to 1610nm,
accommodating standard CWDM or DWDM transmission schemes.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-HD DWDM cards and any 7707OE-HD series cards directly
with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707EO-HD DWDM card produces +7dBm of power,
which will damage the receiver if connected directly.

"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-HD cards that output more than -7dBm of power (see
7707EO-HD specifications for output power of various laser types) and 7707OE-HD-H
high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707EO-HD
cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will damage the receiver if connected
directly.
SDI OUTPUT The 7707OE-HD provides three reclocked serial digital video outputs for signal
distribution. Output 3 (the bottom BNC) maintains the same polarity as the input and is DVB-
ASI compliant.
2.1. CARE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL FIBER
"
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber
connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the optical
end face of a connector before making a connection.
The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore
care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz
recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will
decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with
cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the
frame that does not have a suitable I/O module. For further information about care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter in the front of the binder.

4. STATUS INDICATORS AND DISPLAYS
The 7707OE-HD has 6 LED Status indicators and a 4 digit alphanumeric display on the front card edge to
show operational status of the card at a glance. The card edge pushbutton is used to select various
displays on the alphanumeric display. Figure 4-1 shows the location of the card edge status indicators,
dot matrix display, pushbutton and jumpers.

4.1. STATUS INDICATOR LEDS
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 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 a valid input
signal is present, and the board power is good.
SIGNAL VALID: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid input signal on the optical input.
The optical input is considered valid when the module has attained lock to the
signal. If the reclocker is in non-reclock mode, then the input is considered valid
when the module detects the presence of a carrier.
CARRIER FAULT: This Yellow LED indicates a weak signal carrier on the optical input. The CARRIER
FAULT thresholds are calibrated to an optical power of -16dBm.
"NOTE: Newer cards are calibrated to –21dBm or -26dBm for the –H (high sensitivity)
version. This value is 2dBm greater than the maximum sensitivity of the cards.

RATE - SD: This Green LED indicates that the reclocker is locked to one of the SD rates.
RATE - HD: This Green LED indicates that the reclocker is locked to the 1.485 Gb/s HD rate.
EDH DISABLED: This Yellow LED indicates that error detection on the card edge display has been
deactivated. Press and hold the pushbutton until the LED goes OFF to enable EDH
detection.
REMOTE: This Yellow LED located beside the MASTER jumper indicates that local controls of
the card are disabled, and that the card is under control of the VistaLINK®interface.
(See section 6 for information about VistaLINK® monitoring and control.)
4.2. DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY
Additional signal and status monitoring is provided via the 4-digit dot-matrix display located on the card
edge. The card-edge pushbutton is used to select which data is being displayed in the alphanumeric
display. Each time the pushbutton is pressed, the display advances to the next available display. A
message indicating what display mode is active is shown for one second. After one second without the
pushbutton being pressed, the selected display data is shown.
The following display messages indicate what is being displayed.
PWR Input Optical Power
STD Video Standard in Use
EDH EDH Errors (for SD only)
The details of the optical power, video standards, and EDH error displays are described in sections 4.2.1
to 4.2.3.
4.2.1. Displaying the Optical Power
The 7707OE-HD module can measure and display the input optical power over a range of 0dBm to
-40dBm at 1dBm increments. To display the Input Optical Power, press the pushbutton one or more times
until the PWR message is shown on the display. After one second the detected input optical power will be
shown (in units of dBm).
OVR Indicates optical input power exceeding –1dBm for standard version and
-7dBm for “–H” version
-1 to –40 Optical input power within this range for standard version
-7 to –40 Optical input power within this range for “-H” version
LOWOptical input power below –40 dBm
LOS Indicates that no valid input signal is present
