1. OVERVIEW
The 7700R16X16 Series is a small form factor router designed for critical applications where space is
limited, whether for existing facilities that have run out of rack space or for trucks and vans. The
7700R16X16 Series uses only 3 slots of a traditional Evertz 7700FR-C Multiframe and has its own
integrated controller. This means five 16x16 routers can fit in just 3RU.
The 7700R16X16 Series consists of 16 equalized inputs and 16 reclocked outputs. Each input and
each output is interfaced through a common crosspoint that is controlled by the main processing unit.
The processing unit interfaces the various control options such as Q-Link, Ethernet and serial with the
crosspoint, allowing full control of the routing resources. The processing unit also provides a video
reference to the crosspoint to maintain clean switching on the switch line.
Features:
•Hot-swappable, front-loading modular 16x16 routing
•Full support for SMPTE 292M (1.5 Gb/s), SMPTE 259M (270, 360, 143 Mb/s) with all outputs
maintaining polarity from input to output
•Features independent isolated outputs to ensure no cross channel loading effects (no need to
terminate unused outputs)
Inputs:
•16 Inputs
•SMPTE 292M (1.5 Gb/s), SMPTE 259M (270 Mb/s, 360 Mb/s, 143 Mb/s)
•Return Loss > 15 dB up to 1.5 Gb/s
•Automatic cable equalization up to 100m at 1.5 Gbs
Outputs:
•16 re-clocked outputs
•Return loss > 15 dB up to 1.5 Gbs
•Wideband jitter < 0.2 UI

2. INSTALLATION
The 7700R16X16 Series comes with a companion rear plate that occupies three slots in the frame. For
information on inserting the module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.

2.1. VIDEO CONNECTIONS
INPUTS: Input DIN connectors 1 to 16 will accept serial digital signals compatible with
SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M standards.
OUTPUTS: The 16 reclocked DIN connectors are used to route the input video. Inputs can
be routed via various control options detailed in section 4.2.
MONITOR OUTPUT: The BNC connector provides a video output that is controlled by one of the
control options.

2.2. GENLOCK REFERENCE
REFERENCE: The Reference signal may be NTSC or PAL colour black or tri-level sync. There
must be a reference present to ensure the crosspoint changes occur during the
field-blanking interval. If the reference is missing then the routing will occur
asynchronously. If you experience problems with clean switching then refer to
application note AN-0008.
Jumper J13 on the 7700R16X16 Series selects whether the selected reference
input is terminated to 75 ohms (default) or to high impedance. The Genlock
reference may also be supplied to the 7700R16X16 Series card through the
Frame Genlock if the 7700FR-G frame or 7800FR is being utilized.
2.3. Q-LINK CONNECTION
Q-LINK: The rear of the 7700R16X16 Series has a BNC connector to allow connection to
an external Q-Link. Q-Link is a dedicated control system specific to Evertz brand
of Quartz products.
"
Note: Q-Link connection to the 7700R16X16 Series router requires an SC-1000.
See section 4.2.2 for more details.
2.3.1. Manual Remote Control - Using Q-Link
All 7700R16X16 Series routers can be connected to other Evertz routers and remote control panels by
a single coaxial link called Q-Link. This link uses standard 75Ωvideo cable daisy-chained from frame to
frame and from panel to panel over a maximum cable length of 500m. Each end of the link must be
terminated in 75Ω.
This daisy-chain method ensures the best transmission quality of the control signals down the cable.
Short cuts that might save cable (i.e. running stubs to some panels) are not recommended as this may,
under certain circumstances, cause data errors.
The system can support up to 16 devices. Each unit being connected to the Q-Link has its own address
switch, which is set up as part of the system configuration.
"Note: The installer must fit a 75Ωterminator at each end of the cable.

2.4. SERIAL CONNECTIONS
S1, S2: The 12-pin terminal strip has two serial ports, S1 and S2. The 7700R16X16
Series supports Quartz (-1) protocol commands over the serial port. For
information regarding the Quartz protocol, contact Evertz service.
The pin-out for the serial ports is shown in Table 2-1 below:

As an option it is possible to convert either of the two serial ports to RS-232 with the following pin-out,
as shown in Table 2-2.

2.5. ETHERNET CONNECTIONS
ETHERNET: There is one RJ-45 network connector on the rear panel. The RJ-45 connector is
an Ethernet port used for monitoring and control of the system, etc. See section
4.2.1 for information on connecting to an Ethernet network. See section 4.1.2 for
information on configuring the network address for the router.
2.5.1. Connecting to an Ethernet Network
The 7700R16X16 Series uses 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps) or Gigabit (1Gbps)
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. The cable must be “straight-through” with a RJ-45
connector at each end. Establish the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-
45 receptacle of the 7700R16X16 Series and the other end into a port of the supporting hub.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pin-out information
in Table 2-3. A colour coded wiring table is provided in Table 2-3 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 2-3: Standard RJ-45 Wiring Colour 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 cable must use Category 5 rated connectors.
The maximum cable run between the router and the supporting hub is 300 ft (90 m). The maximum
combined cable run between any two end points (i.e. router and PC/laptop via network hub) is 675 feet
(205 m).
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.
