7707MR-HD Multi-Signal HD/SD, AES, and Control Fiber Receiver
Revision 1.3 Page-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707MR-HD is a VistaLINK
®
enabled fiber optic receiver for one HD or SD digital video signal,
accompanied by four AES audio signals, serial data, and one GPIO signal. Audio and control signals are
de-embedded from the HD, SD, or SDTi video signal that is applied to the optical input. The 7707MR-HD
is designed to operate with a companion 7707MT-HD transmitter, to permit communication over fiber optic
cable with low latency.
Monitoring and control of card status and parameters is provided locally, at the card-edge, or remotely via
VistaLINK
®
capability. The wide-band optical input of the 7707MR-HD is compatible with all available
7707MT-HD transmitter wavelengths. This card occupies one card slot and can be housed in either a 1RU
frame, which will hold up to three modules, or a 3 RU frame, which will hold up to 15 modules.
Features
•HD/SD video, AES audio, serial data, and GPIO conveniently presented in a single product.
•Provides de-embedding of audio and control signals from HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), SD-SDI (SMPTE
259M-C), or SDTi (SMPTE 305.2M).
•With sample rate conversion enabled on the companion 7707MT-HD transmitter, transport of audio
and control signals is independent of video interruptions other than format change.
•Controllable audio output interface for balanced or unbalanced AES.
•Bi-directional serial port accommodates RS-422, RS-232, or RS-485 data.
•Serial data rates up to 153Kb/s with low latency through link.
•Comprehensive signal and status monitoring via four-digit card-edge display, or VistaLINK
®
.
•DWDM wavelengths also available (ITU-T G.694.1 compliant).
•Accepts any optical wavelength in the1270nm to 1610nm range.
•Compatible with multi-mode and single-mode fiber (dual fiber version).
•SC/PC, ST/PC, or FC/PC fiber connector options.
•Fully hot-swappable from front of frame.
•VistaLINK
®
enabled for remote monitoring and control when installed in 7700FR-C frame with 7700FC
VistaLINK
®
Frame Controller.
Several versions of the 7707MR-HD allow the user to choose the optimal function / price / performance
ratio to suit a particular application. Versions with an F2 suffix transmit and receive optical over separate
fibers. Versions with a W suffix transmit (1310nm) and receive (1550nm) on different wavelengths over a
single fiber. Versions with no suffix transmit and receive on the same wavelength (1310nm) over a single
fiber.
Table 1-1 shows some typical applications and power budget calculations for the 7707MR-HD.
