7710XUC-HD HD Format Up/Down/Cross Converter
Revision 1.0 7710XUC-HD-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7710XUC series of products is designed to solve the problems of adapting to different SD and HD
formats, while also offering high quality up-, cross-, and down-conversion.
There is an input BNC, an output BNC, an output BNC with an on-screen display, and a BNC that can be
configured as either an input or an output. All output BNCs contain the same video. When the input/output
BNC is an input, the video source BNC is configurable (see section 6.3.4).
On the 7710XUDC-AES4-HD, there are four additional output BNCs. Two of these BNCs are for SD serial
digital outputs, and the other two are for SD composite analog video outputs. These BNCs are on the
down-converter area of the card.
The versions available are displayed in the table below:

The 7710XUC-HD and 7710XUC-AES4-HD provide a single video format conversion. This can be an up-
conversion, a down-conversion, or a cross-conversion. It can also be used to provide an SD-to-SD
conversion. When using SD input, noise reduction can be applied. Detail enhancement and gamma
correction are available on all conversions.
HD video formats are 1.5Gb/s video formats defined by SMPTE292M, and SD video formats are defined
by SMPTE 296M.
The 7710XUC-HD has 10-bit processing plus external Genlock. The 7710XUC-AES4-HD has the same
outputs and Genlock, but also provides two composite analog video outputs. The composite analog video
outputs are only valid with SD output.
The 7710XUDC-AES4-HD High-Definition Format Up/Down/Cross Converter is similar to the 7710XUC-
HD but provides simultaneous cross- and down-conversion.

7710XUC-HD-2 Revision 1.0
All the modules accept two groups of embedded audio on the input and re-embed them into the serial
video outputs. The “-AES4” versions also accept four external discrete unbalanced AES inputs and
provide four AES outputs with the same audio that is being embedded. In the case of the 7710XUDC-
AES4-HD, the four AES outputs with the same audio are embedded on the output SD video signals, since
they share one common audio processor. The 7710XUC-AES4-HD has a separate audio processor for
the four AES outputs.
The re-embedded audio normally has the appropriate delay added to compensate for video delay incurred
by the conversion process, thus avoiding the need for external de-embedding and re-embedding of audio.
An additional audio delay adjustment can also be made for lip sync correction.
The units also transfer the closed caption and time code information from input to output performing all
necessary HD-to-SD and SD-to-HD translation and time code recalculations.
The 7710XUC-HD and 7710XUC-AES4-HD occupies two card slots in the 3RU frame (7700FR-C), which
will hold up to fifteen 1-slot modules, or one slot in the 1RU frame (7701FR), which will hold up to three
modules.
The 7710XUDC-AES4-HD occupies three card slots in a 3RU frame (7700FR-C), which will hold up to
fifteen 1-slot modules.
The units also provide card edge LEDs to indicate signal present, Genlock present, and audio groups
present.
Features:
• High quality HD -> HD cross-conversion
• High quality SD -> HD up-conversion with Noise Reduction
• High quality HD -> SD down-conversion (simultaneous cross- and down-conversion with 7710XUDC-
AES4-HD)
• Image Enhancement for HD and SD
• Supports standard aspect ratio conversions plus all user definable
• Support all necessary colour space conversions (ITU rec. 601 to ITU rec.709) and SMPTE 240M (for
1035i)
• Full video processing functions: RGB gain, YCrCb gain and offset, hue adjustment, RGB gamma
correction, and RGB colour limiter
• Reference input allows for phasing of output video
• Module supports minimum delay or variable delay for video output without reference
• Module supports video output referenced to Genlock with variable delay
• Output on-screen display (OSD) used to configure the operating modes
• De-embeds Audio from HD/SD video input and embeds into HD/SD video output (two groups)
• Supports retimed external four AES inputs and outputs (on “-AES4” versions only)
• Moves VITC time code and Line 21 captions from the SD video into the HD video ancillary data
• Moves RP-188 VITC and LTC from HD input to HD output, recalculated for frame rate changes
• Moves HD closed captions from HD input to HD output

2. INSTALLATION
The 7710XUC-HD and 7710XUC-AES4-HD modules come with a companion rear plate that occupies two
slots in the frame. The 7710XUDC-AES4-HD also comes with a companion rear plate that occupies three
slots in the frame. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame see
the 7700FR chapter section 3.
Figure 3: Rear Panels
2.1. VIDEO CONNECTIONS
PGM IN The input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the
SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M standard. The module can be set to a specific video
standard or set to automatically detect.
PGM OUT/IN This BNC connector is used to output the converted input video as serial component video,
compatible with the SMPTE 292M standard (i.e. HD only). It can also be configured as an
alternate video input compatible with SMPTE 292M standard using menu system. Only the
7710XUC-HD supports both HD and SD (SMPTE 259M) as an alternate video input.
PGM OUT This BNC connector is used to output the converted input video as serial component video,
compatible with the SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M standard.

Revision 1.0 7710XUC-HD-5
OSD This BNC connector is used to output the converted input video as serial component video
compatible with the SMPTE 292M standard and has on-screen display menus (OSD)
superimposed over the video. When the 7710XUC-HD or 7710XUC-AES4-HD is operated
in a down-conversion mode, the OSD output will be compatible with the SMPTE 259M
standard.
COMPOSITE These BNC connectors (only on “-AES4” versions) are used to output the down-converted
or aspect ratio converted SD video as composite analog video.
2.1.1. 7710XUDC-AES4-HD
SDI OUT These BNC connectors are used to output the down-converted input video as serial component
video, compatible with the SMPTE 259M standard.
2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
For proper synchronization of the output video, the Format Translator/Cross Converter must be locked to a
Genlock signal of the output video format.
GENLOCK This BNC is used to connect a bi-level or tri-level sync reference and is auto-detected by
the module. Jumper J21 selects whether the reference input is terminated to 75 ohms or
high impedance (default). See section 7.3 for further information about jumpers. The output
video can be timed with respect to the Genlock video using the H Phase Offset and V
Phase Offset menu items (See section 6.3.1). When no Genlock is provided, the output
video is timed with respect to the input video.
6Hz IN This BNC connector is used to input a 6Hz reference for the A-frame controller used for 3:2
pulldown. This BNC connector only appears on the “-AES4” versions. On the non “-AES4”
versions, GPI4 can be used as the 6Hz reference. To do so, the jumper settings must be
configured as in Section 7.6 below.
AUX SDI IN On older versions of the 7710XUDC-AES4-HD, there was an AUX SDI IN instead of a 6Hz
IN. The AUX SDI IN does not have any functionality. If 6Hz IN support is required, the
module needs to be returned to the Evertz facility for modifications.
2.3. TIME CODE (7710XUC-AES4-HD ONLY)
LTC IN This BNC connector is used to input Time Code.
LTC OUT This BNC connector is used to output Time Code.

Figure 7: LED Status Indicators: “-AES4” Versions
Four large LEDS on the front of the main board indicate the general health of the module:
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 input power fault exists (i.e.: a blown fuse). The red
LED will also turn on if there is no valid video signal present at the module input or if
the board is not locked to the genlock source. 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, the board is locked to the genlock source, and the board power is good.
VIDEO PRESENT This green LED will be on when there is a valid video signal present at the module
input, depending on the module configuration. For example, if the video input
source is Main PGM, then the LED will indicate a signal presence on that input. The
same applies if PGM IN/OUT is configured as the video input source.
GENLOCK This green LED will be on when there is a signal present at the module Genlock
input. This LED will blink to indicate that an improper signal for the current video
format is present.
The large LEDs on the sub board of the module (only on “-AES4” versions) indicate the following:
SUBMODULE OK: This green LED indicates good module health. On the 7710XUDC-AES4-HD, it will
be on when a valid input signal is present on the sub board, and the board power is
good. On the 7710XUC-AES4-HD, it is identical to the MODULE OK LED on the
main board.
VIDEO LOCKED This green LED will be on when there is a down-converted video signal on the sub
board.

5. CARD EDGE CONTROLS
The 7710XUC-HD modules are equipped with an eight-position DIP switch to allow the user to select
various functions. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the locations of the DIP switch on the modules.
"On the “-AES4” versions, there is a second set of DIP switches that are on the main
board. These switches have no functionality and should be left in factory settings.
All positions are assigned sequentially such that the DIP switch 1 is located at the top of the DIP switch
(farthest from the card ejector). Table 6 gives an overview of the DIP switch functions. Sections 5.1 to 5.2
describe the DIP switch functions. The on (closed) position is down, or closest to the printed circuit board.

The off (open) position is up, or farthest from the printed circuit board. There is also a toggle switch and
pushbutton which are used to navigate the on screen menu (see section 0).

"
When DIP switches 6 and 7 are both off, the frame rate and video standard can be set
by either the menu system or VistaLINK™ only (i.e.: they cannot be set by the DIP
switches). The other two settings of DIP switches 6 and 7 allow setting of the frame
rate and video standard manually using the DIP switches only (i.e.: they cannot be set by
the menu system or VistaLINK™).
