HD/3G/UHD Up/Down/Cross Converters
Revision 1.2 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
Addressing the needs of content procedures and distributors to be able to supply UHD, 3G and HD
content in parallel, the 7814UDX-4K, 7814UC-4K, 7814XC-4K and 7814HDC-4K are a series of broadcast
quality up/down converters that convert between common HD/SMPTE 292M and 3G/SMPTE 424M video
signals and UHD. Models are available to support upconversion, downconversion, crossconversion or a
combination:
7814UC-4K : 3G/HD to UHD upconverter
7814HDC-4K : UHD to 3G/HD downconverter
7814UDX-4K : UHD to/from 3G/HD up and downconverter
7814XC-4K : UHD cross-converter (also supports 2SI to Quadrant based UHD conversions)
The 7814UDX/UC/XC/HDC-4K Series supports broadcast quality video conversion. Advanced motion
adaptive spatial-temporal (3D) noise reduction and next generation de-interlacing techniques ensure
superior resolution and artifact reduction, generating the highest quality video suitable for broadcast and
other professional media applications. Optionally available video processing features (+VPROC option)
include full broadcast quality color correction and detail enhancement processors along with RGB based
color legalization.
The 7814UDX-4K series products are HDR capable (with +VPROC and +HDR options) and can
up/down/cross convert SDR and a range of HDR formats, including SMPTE ST 2084 (PQ), HLG and
S-Log3. It also performs all colour space conversion including BT.709, BT.2020 and S.Gamut3. Rather
than using fixed LUTs, the Evertz HDR conversion uses high-precision 32 bit mathematical modelling to
allow for very low-latency, high accuracy transforms while allowing on-the-fly changes to colour correction
or HDR transfer function parameters.
The 7814UDX-4K Series transparently supports 16 channels of embedded audio with audio delay
automatically matching video delay. Optional audio processing features (+APROC option) include audio
channel shuffling, gain, inversion and mono-mixing. With “-AES8” variants, 8 discrete AES inputs and 8
discrete AES outputs are provided, allowing for discrete AES input and output. Full audio routing capability
allows outgoing embedded and discrete AES audio (-AES8 versions) to be sourced from any combination
of embedded audio, discrete AES inputs (-AES8 versions) or processed audio.
The -12G option adds support for SMPTE ST 2082 and enables up to 2x 12G SFPs (ordered separately)
to be added to allow transport over a single coax or Fiber. The -12G-HDBNC-R option includes an
HDBNC module that supports coaxial 12G-SDI signals.
These modules are SNMP capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities using
WebEASY®, VistaLINK® PRO, CP-2116E or CP-2232E Control Panels. SNMP control is available when
modules are used with the 3RU 7800FR series or 1RU 7801 frames and a 7700/7800/7801FC Frame
Controller module is installed. Each card occupies two slots in the frame and the card does not support
direct SNMP configuration.

2. INSTALLATION
All 7814UDX-4K series modules come with a companion rear plate and occupy two slots in the 7800FR
frame or three slots in the 7700FR-C. If a 7814UDX-4K series module is installed in a 7700FR-C without
the “slot blocker” installed, the card will not power-up and will show RED on its main status LED. For
information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame see section 3 of the
7700FR manual. Refer to section 6.2 of this manual for more information on the 7814UDX-4K series slot
blocker. Refer to Figure 2-1 for 7814UDX-4K series rear plate layouts.

NOTE:For proper operation in the 7700FR-C, the on-board “slot blocker” must be installed in
order for the card to power-up.

2.1. INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
PGM IN A/B/C/D: Accepts a 10-bit serial digital video signal. All inputs are compatible with SMPTE
292M, SMPTE 372M and SMPTE 425M standards. The module can be set to
receive a specific video standard or set to automatically detect the supplied input
video standard.
Note: Non-4K inputs must be plugged in to PGM IN A.
PGM OUTPUT A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2/D1/D2:
These DIN connectors are used to output video as serial component video. All outputs are compatible with
SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M or SMPTE 372M standard.
REF IN: This DIN is for connecting a bi-level or tri-level reference. The Reference format is auto-
detected by the module. Output video can be timed with respect to the supplied
reference using the H Phase Offset and V Phase Offset module controls. When no
reference is provided, the output video is timed with respect to the input video.
Reference may also be supplied via the 7700FR-QT, 7801FR and 7800FR FRAME
REFERENCE inputs. User Control is used to select either the card’s external reference
or the FRAME REFERENCE inputs.
The 7814UDX-4K series conversion modules accept standard reference signals including bi-phase (525i59
or 625i50) and tri-level sync signals (1080i59 or 1080i50).

2.2. ETHERNET CONNECTIONS
All 7814UDX-4K series modules are designed to use either 10Base-T (10 Mbps) or 100Base-TX (100
Mbps) also known as Fast Ethernet, twisted pair Ethernet cabling systems. When connecting for 10Base-
T systems, category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable as well as EIA/TIA – 568-100ΩSTP cable may be used. When
connecting for 100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable is required. Make the network connection by
plugging one end of a “straight through” cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of 7814UDX-4K modules and the
other end into a port of the supporting hub. If you are connecting the 7814UDX-4K series modules directly
to an Ethernet port on a computer, you will have to use a “crossover” cable.
Straight-through RJ-45 cables can be purchased or can be constructed using the pin out information in
Table 2-2. A color code-wiring table is provided in Table 2-1 for the current RJ-45 standards (AT&T 258A
or EIA/TIA 258B color coding shown). Also, refer to the notes following the table for additional wiring guide
information.

Table 2-1 : Colour Code Wiring for the Current RJ 45 Standards
Note the following cabling information for this wiring guide:
•Only two pairs of wires are used in the 8-pin RJ 45 connector to carry Ethernet signals.
•Even though pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used, it is mandatory that they be present in the cable.
•10BaseT and 100BaseT use the same pins; a crossover cable made for one will work with the
other.
•Pairs may be solid colors and not have a stripe.
•Category 5 cables must use Category 5 rated connectors.
The maximum cable run between the 7814UDX-4K series modules and the supporting hub is
300 ft (90 m).

2.3. GPIO CONNECTOR
There are 8 General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIOs) on the 7814UDX-4K series modules. Each GPIO
may be configured to be an input or configured to be an output. These GPIOs are interfaced using a
15-pin DB connector and an associated breakout cable (cable part # WPAES8-DINM-9W-6F).
NOTE: The GPIO breakout cable is not included with the module when purchased. Table 2-2 shows the
Pin-out of this connector as follows:

When a particular GPIO is configured to be a GPO, the interface shown below shall apply. The GPO is
active low with internal pull up (10k Ohm) resistors to +5V. When the output goes low, it is able to sink up
to 10mA. When high, the signal will go high (+5V). Do not draw more than 100µA from the output.

2.4. AES OUTPUTS
The –AES8 versions of 7814UDX-4K series modules support 8x AES outputs per path and are interfaced
using a Multi-path Module Conversion breakout (MMX breakout) connector and a breakout cable. The part
number for the cable is #WP/1M/MMX-AUDIO. One MMX audio breakout cable is included when
the –AES8 option is ordered. The pin-out of the MMX connector is shown in Table 2-4.
