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 7707VT-4-HS DWDM cards and any 7707VR-4-HS series
cards directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VT-4-HS DWDM card
produces +7dBm of power which will damage the receiver if connected
directly.
"
Do not hook up the 7707VT-4-HS cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707VT-4-HS specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707VR-4-HS-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707VT-4-HS cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

1. OVERVIEW
The 7707VR-4-HS is a VistaLINK®–enabled fiber optic receiver for two HD-SDI signals; or one HD-SDI
signal and three SDI/SDTi signals; or four SDI/SDTi signals. This single card module demultiplexes up to
four input signals that have been Time Domain Multiplexed (TDM) by the companion 7707VT-4-HS Quad
SDI/Dual HD-SDI Fiber Transmitter module.
The 7707VR-4-HS and companion 7707VT-4-HS will transparently pass embedded AES audio or any
other data in the horizontal or vertical ancillary data space. Monitoring and control of card status and
parameters is provided locally at the card edge or remotely via VistaLINK®.
Features:
•Single card TDM de-multiplexer for two HD-SDI signals, or one HD-SDI signal and three SDI/DVB-ASI
signals, or four SDI/DVB-ASI signals
•Low jitter outputs
•Independent signal outputs unaffected by loss of any other HD, SDI or
•DVB-ASI input feed
•Transparently passes embedded AES or any other data in the horizontal or vertical ancillary data
space
•Fully hot-swappable from front of frame
•Supports single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cable
•Accepts any wavelength in the 1270nm to 1610nm range
•SC/PC, ST/PC, FC/PC connector options
•Comprehensive signal and card status monitoring via four digit card edge display or remotely through
SNMP and VistaLINK®
•VistaLINK® capability is available when modules are used with the 3RU
•7700FR-C or 350FR frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK®Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame
•Can be housed in either a 1RU frame which will hold up to 3 modules, a 3RU frame which will hold up
to 15 modules, 3RU portable frame that holds up to 7 modules or a standalone frame which will hold 1

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707VR-4-HS comes with a companion rear plate that has four BNC connectors and one 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 manual chapter, section 3.

Do not hook up the 7707VT-4-HS DWDM cards and any 7707VR-4-HS series
cards directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VT-4-HS DWDM card
produces +7dBm of power which will damage the receiver if connected

"
Do not hook up the 7707VT-4-HS cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707VT-4-HS specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707VR-4-HS-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707VT-4-HS cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.
HD/SDI OUTPUTS: Two BNC connectors, one for each of the two independent, reclocked HD-SDI or
SDI/SDTi video signals compatible with HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), SD-SDI (SMPTE
259M-C) or SDTi (SMPTE 305.2M) standards.
SDI OUTPUTS: Two independent BNC connectors, one for each of the two independent, reclocked
SDI/SDTi video signals compatible with SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-C) or SDTi (SMPTE
305.2M) standards.
2.1. CARE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL FIBER
"
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 about care and handling of fiber
optic cable, see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter in the front of the binder.

4. STATUS INDICATORS AND DISPLAYS
The 7707VR-4-HS has 7 LED Status indicators and a 4 digit alphanumeric display on the front card edge
to show operational status of the card at a glance. The card edge pushbutton is used to select various
modes on the alphanumeric display. Figure 4-1 shows the locations of the indicators and pushbutton.

4.1. STATUS INDICATOR LEDS
LOCAL FAULT: This Red LED indicates poor module health and will be on during the absence of a
valid input signal, low optical power, or if a local internal power fault exists (i.e.: a
blown fuse). Whether or not this LOCAL FAULT indication is reported to the frame
may be selected by the FRAME STATUS jumper (see section 5.1).
MODULE OK: This Green LED indicates good module health. It will be ON when a valid input
signal is present, and internal board power is good.
On the edge of the 7707VR-4-HS there are five small multi-colour LEDs that indicate the status of video
signals and condition of the optical link with the companion 7707VT-4-HS transmitter.
LINK STATUS: Green indicates the presence of a valid optical signal on the fiber input.
Red indicates the detection of bit errors in the optical input signal (when bit error
detection is enabled – see section 4.2.6).
LED Off indicates signal loss on the fiber input.
