"
Do not hook up the 7707CVT-4 series cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707CVT-4 series specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707CVR-4 series high sensitivity (-H versions) receiver cards directly with a short
fiber optic cable. The 7707CVT-4 series cards that produce more than -7dBm of
power will damage the receiver if connected directly.
ANALOG VIDEO OUTPUTS
1 to 4: On the 7707CVR-4 series there are four composite analog video outputs. Each output can
have cable pre-emphasis applied independently.
AUDIO OUTPUTS: The 7707CVR-4-A16 modules provide terminal block output connections compatible
with either balanced or unbalanced analog audio. Balanced audio signals should be connected
to the positive (+) and negative (-) output terminals. Unbalanced audio signals should be
connected to the positive (+) output terminal, while the negative (-) output terminal remains
unconnected. The audio 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.
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 on the care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter in the front of the binder.

5.1. SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
The FRAME STATUS jumper J4 determines whether local faults (as shown by the Local Fault indicator)
will be connected to the 7700FR frame's global status bus.
FRAME STATUS: To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the Power
Supply FRAME STATUS LED's and on the Frame's Fault Tally output) 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.
5.2. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
UPGRADE: The UPGRADE jumper J5 is used when firmware upgrades are being done to the module.
For normal operation it should be installed in the RUN position. See the Upgrading Firmware
chapter of this manual for more information.
To upgrade the firmware in the module unit pull it out of the frame. Move the UPGRADE
jumper into the UPGD position. Install the Upgrade cable provided (located in the vinyl pouch
in the front of this manual) onto the SERIAL header at the card edge. Re-install the module
into the frame. Run the upgrade as described in the Upgrading Firmware section of this
manual. Once the upgrade is complete, remove the module from the frame, move the
UPGRADE jumper into the RUN position, remove the upgrade cable and re-install the module.
The module is now ready for normal operation.

6. VISTALINK®REMOTE MONITORING/CONTROL
6.1. WHAT IS VISTALINK®?
VistaLINK®is Evertz’s remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet
network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a standard computer network
protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other.
VistaLINK®provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm
events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server. Card configuration through
VistaLINK®PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste
routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally, VistaLINK®enables the
user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration
has been carried out.
There are 3 components of SNMP:
1. An SNMP manager also known as a Network Management System (NMS) is a computer running
special software that communicates with the devices in the network. Evertz VistaLINK®Pro Manager
graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and
control Evertz VistaLINK®enabled fiber optic products.
2. Managed devices (such as 7707CVT-4 and 7707CVR-4 cards), each with a unique address (OID),
communicate with the NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK®enabled 7700 series modules
reside in the 3RU 7700FR-C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC
VistaLINK®frame controller module, which serves as the Agent.
3. A virtual database known as the Management Information Base (MIB) lists all the variables being
monitored and which both the Manager and Agent understand. Please contact Evertz for further
information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS.
For more information on connecting and configuring the VistaLINK®network, see the 7700FC Frame
Controller chapter.
6.2. VISTALINK®MONITORED PARAMETERS
The following parameters can be remotely monitored through the VistaLINK®interface.
Parameter Description
Video 1 to 4 Standard A range of values describing the detected video signal
Video 1 to 4 Signal Valid Indicates the valid video signal
