Table 2-1: AES / SERIAL I/O Connector Pin Definitions
2.1.1. Connecting the AES Inputs
AES INPUT: 4 Pins on the DB15 connector are used to carry balanced or unbalanced AES audio
inputs for channels 4&5 (AES 1) and 14&15 (AES 2) of an audio group. Each input
occupies two pins (+, -) on the DB15 with a shared GND pin. AES inputs can be
synchronous or asynchronous to each other and/or input SDI video.
For Balanced AES signals connect the + and – signals to the respective input pins. The
AES Term Jumpers J26 and J27 must be set to the 110 positions for proper termination
of the balanced AES inputs. The AES LEVEL jumpers J24 and J25 are normally set to
the HI position for balanced AES signal levels of 2 to 7 volts. For signal levels below 2
volts, move the AES LEVEL jumpers to the LO position.
Unbalanced AES signals should be connected to the AES+ input pin with the ground
connected to the AES- input pin. The AES Term Jumpers J26 and J27 must be set to
the 75 positions for proper termination of the unbalanced AES inputs. The AES LEVEL
jumpers J24 and J25 should be in the LO position when the TERM jumpers are in the
75 position.

AES OUTPUT: 4 Pins on the DB15 connector are used to carry balanced or unbalanced AES audio
outputs for channels 6&2 (AES 1) and 1&7 (AES 2) of an audio group. Each output
occupies two pins (+, -) on the DB15 with a shared GND pin. AES inputs can be
synchronous or asynchronous to each other and/or input SDI video.
For Balanced AES signals connect the + and – signals to the respective output pins.
The AES Term Jumpers J26 and J27 must be set to the 110 positions for proper
termination of the balanced AES inputs. The AES LEVEL jumpers J24 and J25 are
normally set to the HI position for balanced AES signal levels of 2 to 7 volts. For signal
levels below 2 volts, move the AES LEVEL jumpers to the LO position.
Unbalanced AES signals should be connected to the AES+ output pin with the ground
connected to the AES- input pin. The AES Term Jumpers J26 and J27 must be set to
the 75 positions for proper termination of the unbalanced AES inputs. The AES LEVEL
jumpers J24 and J25 should be in the LO position when the TERM jumpers are in the
75 position.
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 7.3 and 7.4 for information on configuring
the serial data port.
2.2. CONNECTING THE GPI INPUTS AND GPO OUTPUTS
GPI’s: The two top pins on the 2x3 pin terminal strip on the 7707MB rear plate are used for two
General Purpose inputs (GPI). The GPIs are active low with an internal pull up (10k
ohm) resistor to +5V or +12V. The user can activate GPIs simply by connecting the
GPI input pins to one of the ground pins provided. This can be done with a button,
switch, relay or an open collector transistor. See section 7.10 for information on
selecting the pull-up voltage. Grounding must be done to the 7700FR-C.
GPO’s: The two middle pins on the 2x3 pin terminal strip on the 7707MB rear plate 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 7.11 for information on
setting the jumpers for normally open or closed contacts. Grounding must be done to
the 7700FR-C.

2.3. INSTALLING THE BULKHEAD BREAKOUT PANEL
The 7707MB-BHP Bulkhead breakout panel is an optional accessory that provides the user with a
convenient way of connecting the audio and RS232/422 signals into the HD DB-15 connectors on the rear
of the modules. This panel occupies 2.5 rack units of rack space and is designed for mounting at the rear
of the rack panel. The breakout panel can be used to connect any combination of up to fifteen 7707MB
modules. Each of the fifteen sets of connectors on the breakout panel is fitted with one six position
terminal strip for balanced AES input audio, one six position terminal strip for AES audio output 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. Be sure to secure the connectors with the screws supplied. The
balanced AES 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 breakout panel and secured
using the two hold-down screws.

7707MB -8 Revision 1.5
2.3.1. Connecting the Breakout Panel AES Inputs
BALANCED AES INPUTS: For Balanced AES signals connect the + and – signals to the respective
input pins on the AES terminal strips. The AES Term Jumpers J26 and
J27 must be set to the 110 positions for proper termination of the
balanced AES inputs. The AES LEVEL jumpers J24 and J25 are
normally set to the HI position for balanced AES signal levels of 2 to 7
volts. For signal levels below 2 volts, move the AES LEVEL jumpers to
the LO position.
UNBALANCED AES INPUTS: Unbalanced AES signals should be connected to the respective AES
BNCs. In addition the respective AES- pin on the AES terminal strips
must be connected to one of the ground pins by using a short wire
jumper. This will connect the unused side of the transformer input to
ground. The AES Term Jumpers J26 and J27 must be set to the 75
positions for proper termination of the unbalanced AES inputs. The
AES LEVEL jumpers J24 and J25 should be in the LO position when the
TERM jumpers are in the 75 position.
2.3.2. Connecting the Breakout Panel RS232/422 Serial Data Port
RS232/422: A 9 pin female D connector is 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 this connector is configured as two RS-232 bi-directional serial
data ports. The pin descriptions of the RS232/422 connector are shown
for both RS-232 and RS-422 jumper settings. See section 7.3 and 7.4
for information on configuring the serial data port.

2.4.4. 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 7707MB 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 7-2 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
signals.
VIDEO PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid input video signal.
AES1 PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid AES1 signal.
AES2 PRESENT: This Green LED indicates the presence of a valid AES2 signal.
DATA ACTIVITY: This Green LED indicates the presence of a Serial Data activity.
4.2. DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY
Additional signal and status monitoring and control over the card’s parameters are provided via the 4-digit
alphanumeric display located on the card edge. The card edge toggle switch is used to select whether the
user is displaying status from the card (monitoring mode) or setting control parameters for the card
(control mode). To select one of the display modes, press the pushbutton one or more times to exit the
current display mode and return to the mode select display (The display will show MON or SET). Press the
toggle switch to select monitor mode (MON) or control mode (SET). When the desired mode is selected,
press the pushbutton to enter the mode. For information about setting up the module in control mode see
section 5.
While in monitor mode, the toggle switch determines what data is being displayed on 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 return to the mode select menu item. The following display messages indicate what is being
displayed. The details of the each of the MON displays are described in the sections 4.2.1 to 4.2.8. See
section 5 for information on operating the menu system for the SET displays.
