2.1. VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
INPUTS: On the SN versions there are 4, 8 or 12 BNC connector inputs that auto sense composite
analog NTSC or PAL, or 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the
SMPTE 259M-C standards.
On the HSN versions there are 4, 8 or 12 BNC connector inputs that auto sense composite
analog NTSC or PAL, or 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the
SMPTE 259M-C or SMPTE 292M standards.
"
Note: There are two VIP12 rear plates. One (older version) is labeled as shown
above with four BNCs indicating auto-sensing analog video (ANLG) inputs along
with HD-SDI and SD-SDI. Newer rear plates and VIP modules have all twelve BNCs
auto-sensing HD, SD and Composite Analog input video formats.
HD/SDI OUTPUT: When the output resolution of the card is set to 720 or 1080, this BNC connector
has 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the SMPTE 259M-C or SMPTE 292M
standards. When the output resolution of the card is set to other resolutions, this output will
not be active.
2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
For proper synchronization of the output video to a station reference, the module must be locked to a
genlock signal of the output video format.
GENLOCK: The genlock signal may be NTSC or PAL colour black (the same as the output video
format). The reference input type is auto detected. The genlock reference input is
terminated to 75 ohms.

•VGA analog max length = 5 meters, or 15 feet
2.4. AUDIO INPUTS
The 7767VIP handles up to 24 channels of analog audio (or up to 2 channels of analog audio per video
input) and up to 4 AES inputs per video input (up to 2 groups/video input). Audio is connected to the
7767VIP via dual SCSI connectors on the rear plate with optional BNC and terminal block connectors via
breakout panels. Balanced analog audio or AES is connected using the 7767VIP-AI-BAL breakout panel
and unbalanced AES is connected using the 7767VIP-AI-U breakout panel. See section 2.9 for more
information on using the breakout panels.
2.5. GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
GPI interfacing with the 7767VIP is possible through 20 general purpose inputs and 8 general purpose
outputs available on the 68 pin dual SCSI connector. The 7767VIP is shipped with 7767BHP-AUX
breakout panels (that are connected using the SCSI cable provided) and provide access to 20 GPIs.
When the 7767BHP-BAUX and 7767BHP-UAUX breakout panel is connected the user has access to 20
GPI inputs and 8 GPO outputs. See section 2.9 for more information on using the breakout panels.
The GPI inputs are opto-isolated that are internally pulled up to either +5 or +12 volts DC set by the GPI
SUPPLY jumper. (See section 8.4 for information about changing the pull-up voltage) The GPI outputs
are normally open relay contacts. When the VIP is powered off the GPO Relay contacts are open. An

2.6. LTC AND SERIAL DATA INPUTS
The 7767VIP has an LTC input and a serial data port available on the 68 pin dual SCSI connector. The
7767VIP is shipped with 7767BHP-AUX breakout panels (that are connected using the SCSI cable
provided) and provide access to the LTC input and the serial data port. See section 2.9 for more
information on using the breakout panels.
2.7. ETHERNET NETWORK CONNECTIONS
ETHERNET: This RJ-45 connector is an Ethernet port which facilitates control via VistaLINK
®
PRO or
Maestro software. It is also used for FTP firmware upgrades.
The 7767VIP is designed to be used with 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 the 7767VIP and the other end into a
port of the supporting hub. If you are connecting the 7767VIP directly to an Ethernet port on a computer
you will have to use a “crossover” cable.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout information in
Table 2-2. A colour code wiring table is provided in Table 2-2 for the current RJ 45 standards (AT&T 258A
or EIA/TIA 258B colour coding shown). Also refer to the notes following the table for additional wiring
guide information.

8 N/A Brown/White or Brown Brown/White or Brown Not used (required)
Table 2-2: Standard RJ45 Wiring Color Codes
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 also work with the
other.
•Pairs may be solid colours and not have a stripe.
•Category 5 cables must use Category 5 rated connectors.
The maximum cable run between the 7767VIP and the supporting hub is 300 ft (90 m). The maximum
combined cable run between any two end points (i.e. 7767VIP and PC/laptop via network hub) is 675 feet
(205 m).

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7767VIP™ Manual
Revision 1.8.7 7767VIP-9
Devices on the Ethernet network continually monitor the receive data path for activity as a means of
checking that the link is working correctly. When the network is idle, the devices also send a link test
signal to one another to verify link integrity. The rear panel is fitted with two LEDs to monitor the Ethernet
connection.
10/100: This Amber LED is ON when a 100Base-TX link is last detected. The LED is OFF when a
10Base-T link is last detected (the LINK LED is ON). Upon power-up the LED is OFF as the
last detected rate is not known and therefore defaults to the 10Base-T state until rate
detection is completed.
LN/ACT: This dual purpose Green LED indicates that the 7767VIP has established a valid linkage to
its hub, and whether the 7767VIP is sending or receiving data. This LED will be ON when
the 7767VIP has established a good link to its supporting hub. This gives you a good
indication that the segment is wired correctly. The LED will BLINK when the 7767VIP is
sending or receiving data. The LED will be OFF if there is no valid connection.
In order to use the Ethernet connection you will have to configure the IP addresses for your network. See
section 5.1.1.
2.8. GLINK FIBER OUTPUT (-G OPTION)
The –G versions of the 7767VIP modules are fitted with an optical G-Link output (Evertz proprietary serial
connection) on a SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector. The G-Link optical output provides a
built-in extension to the display device over fiber (75m via multi-mode fiber and up to 10km – subject to
sufficient loss budget - using single mode fiber). At the display device you will need a 2430GDAC
converter to convert the fiber G-Link signal back to DVI to drive the display device. The optical output is
available in 1310nm or CWDM (ITU-T G.694.2 compliant) wavelengths and the card is compatible with
multimode fiber when connected directly to a companion 2430GDAC receiver module.

2.8.1.4. Handling and Connecting Fibers
"
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.
Dust particles on the ends of the optical fiber greatly increase the signal loss at interconnections, and
large dust particles can even obscure light transmission altogether. To minimize the effects of dust
contamination at the interconnections, the fiber should be cleaned each time it is mated or unmated. When
using interconnection housings to mate two optical fibers it is good practice to remove dust particles from
the housing assembly with a blast of dry air. Alternatively you should have received a pre-moistened
tissue with the optical module. Remove this tissue from its package and wipe the end of the fiber
connector before mating it to the module. Whenever a fiber is unmated it must be covered immediately.
Most fiber manufacturers provide a plastic boot that fits over the ferrule body for this purpose.

Revision 1.8.7 7767VIP-11
Fiber interconnections must be made securely. The Evertz fiber optical transmitters and receivers come
with SC interconnection housings built into the module. With this style of connector, the fiber assembly
and the housing assembly can only be connected in one way and with very good repeatability. The rear
fiber interconnect panel that is provided with each module can be ordered with optional SC/PC, ST/PC or
FC/PC connectors. The customer is required to provide the optical fiber with the correct connectors to
connect the modules together. SC/PC, ST/PC and FC/PC interconnection housing and connectors as well
as adapters are industry standards with many available sources.
2.9. BREAKOUT PANELS (BHPs)
2.9.1. 7767BHP-AUX
One 7767BHP-AUX breakout panel is included with every VIP module. It provides the user with a breakout
solution for auxiliary inputs and outputs including GPI 1 to 20, GPO 1 to 8, LTC inputs and serial
communication ports. The interconnection between the BHP and the rear plate are SCSI connectors. The
BHP has the pin-outs screened on the board for easy connectivity.
