7800MDM-12G
12G to/from Quad-Link 3G Bi-Directional Converter for UHD Signals
Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7800MDM-12G is a bi-directional multiplexer/demultiplexer for converting UHD signals between quad-
link 3G and 12G SDI. It bridges the gap between quad-link and native 12G equipment in UHD
infrastructures.
Features & Benefits
•Converts between 12G (SMPTE ST 2082) SDI and Quad-Link 3G SDI
•Bi-Directional – a single card can be used to wrap a device with both inputs and outputs
•Modular and front accessible – can be hot-swapped without de-cabling
•High Density – bi-directional conversion on a single-slot card
•Dual 12G input (software selectable as to source) and dual 12G outputs for signal distribution
when equipped with optional second input SFP
•VistaLINK capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via SNMP using
VistaLINK PRO, CP-2116E or CP-2232E Control Panels. VistaLINK is available when modules are
used with the 7800FR or 7801FR with 7800/7801FC frame controller installed.
•Web GUI for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities when modules are used with
the 7800FR or 7801FR with 7800/7801FC frame controller installed.

2. INSTALLATION
The 7800MDM-12G module comes with a companion rear plate and occupies two slots in the 7800FR
frame. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the 7800MDM-12G rear plate layout.

2.1. INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
3G IN A/B/C/D: DIN connectors used to input Quad-Link 3G SDI video streams.
3G OUT A/B/C/D: DIN connectors used to output Quad-Link 3G SDI video streams.
12 OUT/IN 1/2: When used with Evertz SFP3TR-DIN-12G, these provide main and backup DIN
connectors used to input and/or output 12 SDI video streams.
2.2. ETHERNET CONNECTION
All 7800MDM-12G 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 7800MDM-12G module and the
other end into a port of the supporting hub. If you are connecting the 7800MDM-12G module 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 2-1. 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.

4. WEB INTERFACE
The 7800MDM-12G can be controlled using Web Interface. WebEasy operates using Ethernet and SNMP
control protocols. The 7800MDM-12G DOES NOT HAVE card edge controls. As a result, 7800FC
modules must be installed in all frames that house 7800MDM-12G modules, or the card must be
connected directly with an Ethernet cable.
For the sake of brevity, the following sections describe module controls in terms of the parameters found
within the Web Interface screens for the 7800MDM-12G. As additional features and options are released,
additional sections will be appended to this manual to show those control screens.
After the card has been installed and configured with the required network addresses for the control port, it
can be completely configured using the web interface. For doing this, simply type the IP address of the
control port of the 7800MDM-12G module in the web browser.

Note: The computer must be on the same Subnet in order to have communication with
the module.
