7707MR-2 Revision 2.0
Different versions of the 7707MR allow the user to choose the optimal function / price / performance ratio
to suit a particular application. Versions with no suffix are the lowest cost, but have higher insertion losses
as they receive and transmit on the same wavelength (1310nm) over a single fiber. The W versions are
designed to receive (15500nm) and transmit on different wavelengths (1310nm) over a single fiber and
have a lower insertion loss. The F2 versions have the lowest insertion loss and are designed to receive
and transmit over separate fibers.

2.1.1. Connecting the AES Outputs
AES OUTPUT: 4 Pins on DB15 connector are used to carry balanced AES audio outputs for channels
1&2 (AES 1) and 3&4 (AES 2) of an audio group. Each output occupies two pins (+, -)
on the DB15 with a shared GND pin. AES outputs are available with SoftSwitch™
technology to provide virtually glitch-free audio outputs when upstream AES audio
sources are switched.
For Balanced AES signals connect to the respective + and – pins and the shared GND
pin. The AES Term Jumpers J30 and J31 must be set to the 110 position for proper
source impedance of the balanced AES outputs. The AES LEVEL jumpers J28 and J29
must also be set to the HI position for balanced AES signal levels of 5 volts.
For Unbalanced AES signals connect to the AES+ output pin with the ground connected
to the AES- output pin. The AES Term Jumpers J30 and J31 must be set to the 75
position for proper source impedance of the unbalanced AES outputs. The AES LEVEL
jumpers J28 and J29 must also be set to the LO position for unbalanced AES signal
levels of 1 volt.
2.1.2. Connecting the RS232/422 Serial Data Port
RS232/422: 4 Pins on DB15 connector are used for a bi-directional serial data port conforming to
RS422 signal levels when the SERIAL jumper is set to the RS422 position. When the
SERIAL Jumper is set to the RS232 position these pins are configured as two RS-232
bi-directional serial data ports. See section 6.3 and 6.3.1 for information on configuring
the serial data port.
2.1.3. Connecting the GPI Inputs and GPO Outputs
GPI’s: 2 pins on the DB 15 connector are used for two General Purpose inputs (GPI). The
GPIs are active low with an internal pull-up resistor to +5V or +12V. The user can
activate GPIs simply by connecting the GPI input pins to Ground. This can be done
with a button, switch, relay or an open collector transistor. See section 6.9 for
information on selecting the pull-up voltage.
GPO’s: 4 pins on the DB15 connector are used for two General Purpose Outputs (GPO). Each
GPO output can be configured as a normally open or normally closed relay contact pair.
They can be used to pass simple contact closure information along with the video
signal. See section 6.10 for information on setting the jumpers for normally open or
closed contacts.

2.2. INSTALLING THE BULKHEAD BREAKOUT PANEL
The 7707MX-BHP Bulkhead breakout panel is an accessory that provides the user with a convenient way
of connecting the audio, RS232/422 and GPIO signals into the HD DB-15 connectors on the rear of the
modules. This panel occupies 2 rack units of rack space and is designed for mounting at the rear of the
user’s rack panel. The breakout panel can be used to connect any combination of up to fifteen 7707MT or
7707MR modules. Each of the fifteen sets of connectors on the breakout panel is fitted with two BNCs for
unbalanced AES audio in or out (not on –B version of breakout panel), one six position terminal strip for
balanced AES audio in or out, one eight position terminal strip for the GPIO signals and one 9 pin female
D connector for the RS-232/422 signals. Figure 2-2 shows one section of the breakout panel. On the rear
of the breakout panels are fifteen male HD DB-15 connectors.
To connect the module to the breakout panel, connect the 15 pin extender cables supplied with the
breakout panel between the 15 pin female D connector on the rear of the module and the appropriate D
connector on the breakout panel. Make sure to secure the connectors with the screws supplied. The
balanced AES audio and GPIO 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 breakout panel
and secured using the two hold-down screws.

2.3.4. Handling and Connecting Fibers
"
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 the user maintains 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 section of this manual binder.

4. STATUS INDICATORS AND DISPLAYS
The 7707MR has 6 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
displays on the alphanumeric display. Figure 6-2 shows the location of the LEDs and card edge controls.
4.1. STATUS INDICATOR LEDS
Two large LEDs on the front of the board indicate the general health of the module.
LOCAL FAULT: This Red LED indicates poor module health and will be On during the absence of a
valid optical input signal, if a laser fault exists, or if a local input power fault exists
(i.e. a blown fuse). The LOCAL FAULT indication can also be reported to the frame
through the FRAME STATUS jumper.
MODULE OK: This Green LED indicates good module health. It will be On when a valid optical
input signal is present, and the laser and board power are good.
There are four small LEDs on the back of the board that indicate the presence of video, audio and data in
the input signal.
VIDEO PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid input video signal on the optical
input.
AES1 PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid AES1 signal on the optical input.
AES2 PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid AES2 signal on the optical input.
DATA ACTIVITY: This Green LED indicates the presence of a Serial Data activity on the optical input.
4.2. DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY
Additional signal and status monitoring is provided via the 4-digit dot-matrix display located on the card
edge. The card edge toggle switch is used to select which data is being displayed in the alphanumeric
display. Each time the toggle switch is pressed up/down, the display advances to the next/previous
display. A message indicating what display mode is active is shown for one second. After one second
without the toggle switch being pressed, the selected display data is shown. The card edge pushbutton is
used to select sub-items where applicable.
