2.1. CONNECTIONS
ASI IN 1-2: BNC connectors used to input ASI MPEG2 Transport Streams.
ASI OUT 1-2: BNC connector used to bypass given ASI Transport Streams. Active bypass when
powered. Passive Bypass when un-powered.
SDI OUT 1-4: Four BNC connectors with re-clocked serial component video outputs, compatible
with the SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 424M (+3G) standards. SDI
OUT 3 and 4 can be additionally configured for ASI output from IP or the down-
converted SD-SDI output (HDC).
DATA 1-2: Two SFP cages for streaming Transport Stream data. SFPTR-RJ45-SGM-AV sold
separately.
CONTROL: One RJ-45 Ethernet port used for web interface control.
AES GPIO: The high-density DB-15 connector and Evertz breakout cable (sold separately) can
bring various signals conveniently to BNC connectors. Eight unbalanced AES
outputs per SMPTE 276M and 2x GPO’s are provided on the DB-15 connector. The
de-embedded and processed audio are available across eight AES channels. Figure
2-2 illustrates the breakout cable used for the DB-15 connection. Table 2-1 shows
the respective DB-15 rear plate pin out. Table 2-2 shows the Evertz breakout cable
pin out.

The 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI module can be shipped with a breakout cable for the DB-15 connector
(separate ordering option – Evertz Part # WPAES8-BNCM-9W-6F/A).
The breakout cable can be used to facilitate wiring for the AES audio and GPI connections. The pin out
of the DB-15 communication port and breakout cable is shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

2.2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
To successfully install the 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI, you will require:
1. An unused IP address on the network
2. An Evertz serial cable
3. VLPro Server IP address
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn. Locate on a frame chassis a vacant slot. Unpack
the 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI and separate the rear panel from the main card. Locate the slot on the
rear of the rack and remove the blanking panel. Insert the rear panel into the back of the chassis and
secure using the two screws provided.
Before inserting the front card, connect the serial cable to the board using the serial cable provided.
Now insert the 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI card into the corresponding front slot ensuring the card lines
up with the slot runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card into the slot ensuring
that when it mates with the rear panel is has been firmly pushed into a seated position. This can be
confirmed when the connectivity lights for the Ethernet port are illuminated. Do not connect the HD/SDI
Input cable to the rear card until the initial configuration has been completed (failure to do this could
cause unwanted network issues).

2.2.1. Network Settings for VLPRO – 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI
1. Connect the Evertz serial upgrade cable (ribbon cable) to the 2x3 header at the front edge of
the 7882DEC-H264HD-IPASI card.
2. Start a terminal program and configure the port settings.
3. At the “netra-platform login” prompt, enter:
•“customer” for username <Enter>
•“customer” for password <Enter>

4. From the main menu, four selections are available. Select Network Setup and the menu
illustrated below will appear. Set the desired network addresses per your requirement. After
entering all settings choose Exit two times to get back to the login prompt. The card must be
rebooted for all the network settings to take effect.
