OPTICAL INPUT: SC/PC, ST/PC or FC/PC female connector. This wide range input accepts optical
wavelengths of 1270nm to 1610nm for standard, CWDM or DWDM transmission schemes.
"
Do not hook up the 7707CVTA series DWDM cards and any 7707CVRA series cards
directly with a short fiber optic cable. The 7707CVTA series DWDM card produces
+7dBm of power which will damage the receiver if connected directly.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7707CVRA Composite Video and Analog Audio Fiber Receiver
7707CVRA - 4 Revision 1.2
"
Do not hook up the 7707CVTA series cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707CVTA series specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707CVRA series high sensitivity (-H versions) receiver cards directly with a short
fiber optic cable. The 7707CVTA series cards that produce more than -7dBm of
power will damage the receiver if connected directly.
ANALOG VIDEO OUTPUTS: On the 7707CVRA there are two composite analog video outputs. On the
7707CVRA-2 there is one output for each video channel. Each output can have cable pre-
emphasis applied independently. (See section 5.3.3 for information on setting the desired pre-
emphasis)
ANALOG AUDIO OUT: Balanced analog audio outputs for 4 channels. Each output (+, -, GND) is
on three of twelve pins on the twelve pin terminal header.
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 the
fiber optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter in the front of the binder.

5.4.3.1. Procedure to Calibrate Audio Presence Detection
1. Supply the 7707CVTA module that is connected to the 7707CVRA module being calibrated with
your facilities noisiest audio feed without any audio program material present. This will be a
baseline noise level to calibrate the audio-missing detector.
2. Set the DUR control to 0.5 sec so that you can see the results of adjusting the LVL parameter
without getting confused with the detection time.
3. Adjust the audio LVL control upward from its minimum value until the corresponding AUDIO
PRESENT LED on the card edge goes Off. This will be the noise floor level. Raise the LVL a few
dB to make the detector insensitive to this noise level.
4. Set the DUR control to a time appropriate to your application. This should be set to a value longer
than your worst case acceptable quiet period.
5.5. CHANGING THE ORIENTATION OF THE TEXT ON THE DISPLAY
DISP

7.1. 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.

7.2. SELECTING WHETHER MODULE WILL BE CONTROLLED FROM THE
LOCAL CONTROLS OR THROUGH THE VISTALINK®INTERFACE
The MASTER jumper J6 selects whether the module will be controlled from the local user controls or
through the VistaLINK®interface.
MASTER: When this jumper is installed in the LOCAL position, the card functions are controlled through
the local jumpers.
When this jumper is installed in the REMOTE position, the card functions are controlled through
the VistaLINK®interface.
7.3. 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.
