Revision 1.6 Page-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7721DD4-HD Quad Serial data de-embedder extracts 4 x RS-232 or RS422 serial data streams and
GPI contact closure information from a 270 Mb/s SD-SDI or 1.5Gb/s HD-SDI video signal. A data error
detection and correction scheme is also applied to maintain data integrity on the output of the data de-
embedder. At the embedded packet layer, data packets resemble and have the same group DIDs as
embedded audio packets. The data is un-packetized and extracted from the AES sub-frame according to
SMPTE 337M.
Adding the +GPI option to the decoder (model 7721DD4-HD+GPI) allows the user to decode remote
control contact closure information from VITC (SD) or RP188 ATC (HD) user bits instead of decoding the
GPI information from the AES embedded data stream. This feature allows the user to use remote control
user bit patterns to control the six GPO relay outputs. At the encoder end the 7721DE4-HD+GPI GPI
Encoder module encodes the remote control user bits in VITC or RP188 ATC.
The 7721DE4-HD series modules occupy one card slots in the 3RU frame (7700FR-C), which will hold up
to 15 modules or one slot in the 1RU frame (7701FR), which will hold up to three modules. The 7721DE4-
HD series modules may also be used in a standalone unit (S7701FR).
Features:
•Automatic detection of SD-SDI or HD-SDI video input
•4 x RS232/422 serial outputs with selectable baud rate
•Parity selection: none, even or odd
•Support serial output with BREAK character according to SMPTE 207M
•Packetize data into sub-frame AES format according to SMPTE 337M
•Share the same group DIDs as for embedded audio, selectable from group 1 to 4
•Group selection for extracting data from one of four Audio Groups
•Redundant data transmission to allow data error detection and correction
•Automatically remove the existing embedded packets when the conflict of group DID occurs
•Six GPI outputs to embed simple control information into the video input.
•Card edge LEDs indicate video signal and data presence, cable equalization and module fault
Additional Features with +GPI option installed
•Decodes GPO relay contact closure information from VITC or ATC user bits (instead of decoding the
GPI information from AES data)

HD OUTPUT: There are two BNC connectors with reclocked serial component video outputs,
compatible with the SMPTE 259M-C and SMPTE 292M standard. The top output is
protected by a bypass relay, which will activate in the event of power loss to the module.
The remaining output is not bypass protected.
2.2. TERMINAL STRIP OUTPUTS
The 7721DD4-HD modules have a 16 pin terminal block containing 4 serial data port outputs and six GPI
outputs. The output cables can be secured into the removable portion of the terminal strips using a small
screwdriver. The removable part of the terminal strip is then inserted into the rear panel.

Revision 1.6 Page-5
2.2.2. RS422 Data Ports
To output RS422 data from the 7721DD4-HD module,, first set the J33 jumper to RS422 mode. See
Section 6.3. Connect the RS422 RX+/- Pins on the receiving device to the pins marked TX DATA +/- # on
the terminal strip. See Table 2-1 for details. Connect the ground signal from your RS422 device to one of
the GROUND pins, PIN 9 or 10. Configure the Port settings via the card edge menu. See Section 5.3.
2.2.3. General Purpose Outputs
Pins 11-16 are for six GPO normally open relay contacts with a pullup to either +5 or +12 volts nominal.
See section for information on changing the pullup voltage. When the GPIs on the Embedder side are
closed to ground, the GPOs on the 7721DD4-HD will go to ground.
On the standard version the GPOs are activated when the corresponding GPI inputs on the 7721DE4-HD
Data Embedder are activated. GPI information is contained in the embedded data stream in one or more
audio groups.
When the +GPI option is fitted the GPI information from the 7721DE4-HD is encoded in VITC (for SD
inputs) or RP188 ATC (for HD inputs) user bits instead of encoding the GPI information into the AES
embedded data stream. See section 5.3.

5. CARD EDGE MENU SYSTEM
5.1. NAVIGATING THE MENU SYSTEM
You can use the toggle switch to move up and down the list of available parameters to adjust. To adjust
any parameter, use the toggle switch to move up or down to the desired parameter and press the
pushbutton. Using the toggle switch, adjust the parameter to its desired value. If the parameter is a
numerical value, the number will increase if you push up on the toggle switch and decrease if you push
down on the toggle switch. If the parameter contains a list of choices, you can cycle through the list by
pressing the toggle switch in either direction. The parameter values are changed as you cycle through the
list.
When you have stopped at the desired value, depress the pushbutton. This will return to the parameter
select menu item you setting (the display shows the parameter name you were setting). To change
another parameter, use the toggle switch to select other parameters. If neither the toggle switch nor
pushbutton is operated for several seconds the card edge control will exit the menu system and return to
an idle state.
On all menus, there is an extra selectable item: BACK. Selecting BACK will take you to the previous menu
(the one that was used to get into the current menu). On the main menu, BACK will both take the user to
the normal operating mode (indicated by the moving line on the card edge display).
5.2. TOP LEVEL MENU STRUCTURE
Table 5-1 gives a brief description of the top level of the menu tree that appears when you enter the card
edge menu system. Selecting one of these items will take you down into the next menu level to set the
value of that parameter. Details for each of the menu items are described in sections 5.3 to 5.7.

5.3. GPI USER BIT REMOTE CONTROL OPTION (+GPI OPTION)
When the +GPI option is fitted, the 7721DD4-HD+GPI ATC GPI Decoder module decodes GPI information
from time code user bits and outputs them on six relay contact outputs. The companion 7721DE4-
HD+GPI allows the user to encode remote control contact closure information as special remote control
user bit patterns in VITC (for SD inputs) or RP188 ATC (for HD inputs) instead of encoding the GPI
information into the AES embedded data stream.
The User bit remote control system works on one of two modes. In immediate mode, the GPI1 to GPI6
inputs of the 7721DE4-HD+GPI encoder are used to set special codes in the time code user bits as long
as the GPI is closed to ground. When the 7721DD4-HD+GPI decodes these special user bit codes it
closes the corresponding GPO output. In deferred GPI mode the GPI input to the encoder card occurs a
fixed number of frames (user programmable on the encoder using the DLAY menu item) before the user
actually wants the GPO Output to occur at the decoder. When the GPI input occurs at the encoder, a
special code is sent in the user bits indicating the amount of delay and which GPI should activate. When
the decoder receives this code, instead of outputting the GPO immediately, it will start a countdown timer
and output the GPO at the delayed time. In addition, the encoder will output a second user bit code at the
delayed time. The decoder will receive this code at the same time as its countdown reaches zero and
output a GPO based on one or the other or both of these codes. This redundancy provides protection for
lost contact closure data due to breakups in the video path between the encoder and decoder.
When the 7721DD4-HD+GPI is operated with high definition video, its ATC GPI decoder is compatible
with the 7721DE4-HD+GPI (in immediate or deferred mode) as well as the HD9010TM. When the
7721DD4-HD+GPI is operated with standard definition video, its VITC GPI decoder is compatible with the
7721DE4-HD+GPI (in immediate or deferred mode) as well as the 8010TM. Standard definition VITC
encoded GPIS may also be decoded by the 7721GPI-D SDI decoder, in immediate mode only.
The parallel port pin designations for the various encoders are shown in Table 5-2 below. Table 5-2 also
shows the corresponding output pins of the various decoders and the user bits that control them.

5.3.1. Monitoring the GPI Delay
DLAY
“0010”, etc.
The DLAY menu is used to display the delay (in frames) between GPIs
that are received over VITC or ATC. This delay value is set by the
upstream 7721DE4-HD.
A
n updated value is displayed once a GPI is received over VITC or ATC.
Until that point, the last valid delay value is displayed.
The 7721DD4-HD only monitors this parameter.
5.3.2. Setting the VITC Reader Lines
The VRLN menu sets the range of VITC lines to look for incoming VITC with GPI information encoded in
the user bits for standard definition video formats. The chart below shows the items available in the VRLN
menu. Sections 5.3.2.1 to 5.3.2.2 give detailed information about each of the menu items.
STRT Sets the beginning of the VITC reader range.
END Sets the end of the VITC reader range.
5.3.2.1. Setting the Start Line of the VITC Reader Range
VRLN
STRT
0010 to 0032 (525)
006 to 0032 (625)
This parameter allows the user to set first line to look for VITC on the
incoming video.
For 525i/59.94 video the range is line 10 to line 32 and the default value is
line 10.
For 625i/50 video the range is line 6 to line 32 and the default value is line
6.
5.3.2.2. Setting the End of the VITC range
VRLN
END
0010 to 0032 (525)
006 to 0032 (625)
This parameter allows the user to set last line to look for VITC on the
incoming video.
For 525i/59.94 video the range is line 10 to line 32 and the default value is
line 20.
For 625i/50 video the range is line 6 to line 32 and the default value is line
21.
"
The 7721DD4-HD+GPI will NOT allow the user to selects values where the START
line is greater than the END line. If the user selects a START line greater than the
END line, the module will automatically move the END line to another valid value.

5.5. ENABLING THE DATA DE-EMBEDDER
DEMB
TRUE
FALS
The DEMB function allows the user to enable or disable the de-embedding of
the data.
Setting the DEMB to TRUE will enable the de-embedding of data from the
audio group.
Setting the DEMB to FALS will disable the de-embedding of data.
5.6. SETTING THE HANDLING OF HANC DATA
HANC
PASS
CLN
The HANC menu allows the user to pass or remove HANC audio data from the
incoming Video feed. The RS232/422 data sent from the 7721DE4-HD is
preserved, but all audio in the HANC can be removed.
Selecting PASS will pass all upstream audio in the HANC.
Select CLN to clean all upstream audio.
5.7. CONFIGURING/MONITORING TRANSMIT PORTS
The PRT1, PRT2, PRT3, and PRT4 menus allow the user to configure and monitor some of the transmit
port settings. The user will be allowed to configure which audio group and channel to de-embed for each
port. However, the user will only be allowed to monitor the transmit settings of the port. The setting of the
port will occur on the upstream 7721DE4-HD. Sections 5.7.1 to 5.7.8 will describe the various
configuration and monitored parameters of the transmit ports.

6.1. SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
FRAME STATUS: The FRAME STATUS jumper located at the front of the module determines whether
local faults (as shown by the Local Fault indicator) will be connected to the 7700FR
frame's global status bus.
To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the PS FRAME
STATUS LED's and on the Frame's Fault Tally input) install this jumper in the On
position. (Default)
When this jumper is installed in the Off position, local faults on this module will not be monitored.
