WARNING
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can
occur in a matter of milliseconds.
"
Do not hook up the 7707OO DWDM cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707OO DWDM cards produce +7dBm of power which will damage
the receiver if connected directly.

Revision 1.3 7707OO-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707OO is a VistaLINK
®
enabled, optical to optical converter for any bi-level encoded signal @ rates
from 19.39Mb/s to 540Mb/s. As such it can be used for SMPTE 259M (143-360Mb/s), SMPTE 344M
(540Mb/s), DVB-ASI (270Mb/s) and SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s) signals. Monitoring and control of card
status and parameters is provided locally at the card edge, and remotely via VistaLINK
®
. The 7707OO
accepts one fiber input and provides two reclocked coaxial outputs and one optical output. A coaxial SDI
input can be used as a fallback source, in case of optical link failure or can be selected as the primary
input.
The 7707OO is available in different versions to meet a variety of applications. All versions accept
1310 nm to 1610 nm optical input signals on multi-mode or single-mode fiber and translate the signal to
another wavelength as indicated below. (See specifications for complete information).

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707OO comes with a companion rear plate that has two BNC connectors and two SC/PC (shown),
ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module
into the frame see the 7700FR chapter section 3.

7707OO-4 Revision 1.3
OPTICAL INPUT: Input for SDI optical signals. Available in SC/PC, ST/PC, FC/PC female
connectors. Accepts SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, DVB-ASI,
SMPTE 305M(SDTi) or SMPTE 310M optical signals and provides auto-rate
selection and reclocking for rates from 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. A non-reclocking
mode is also selectable via card edge jumpers, or through the VistaLINK
®
interface. This wide range input accepts optical wavelengths of 1270nm to
1610nm, accommodating standard, CWDM or DWDM transmission schemes.
COAXIAL SDI INPUT: This input provides a second Serial Video input. When the SOURCE jumper is
set to the AUTO mode, the module will switch to the coaxial input in case of
optical link failure. In addition either input may also be selected as the sole
signal source. The coaxial input is non-reclocked. (See section 5.1 for more
information on setting the SOURCE jumper).
OPTICAL OUTPUT: There is one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector with the video
output converted to an optical signal as specified in section 3.2. The optical
output laser is enabled only while a valid input signal is detected indicated by
the SIGNAL VALID LED.
SDI OUTPUT: The 7707OO provides two reclocked serial digital video outputs for signal
distribution. Both outputs maintain the same polarity as the input and are DVB-
ASI compliant.

product to place the label, it is reproduced here in the manuals.
There is no date of manufacture on this label as it can be traced by bar code label placed on the Printed
circuit board of each Evertz plug-in module.

2.1.4. 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. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with
cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the
frame that does not have a suitable I/O module. For further information regarding care and handling of the
fiber optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design section of this manual binder.
