1. OVERVIEW
The 7707RGBT RGB/DVI Fiber Transmitter extends one digital (DVI) or analog (RGB) video display
connection over a single fiber optic or coaxial link, with display resolutions up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200).
The DVI-I connector combines analog and digital display technologies, promoting optimum compatibility
with different display types. Two optional analog audio inputs are also available, as well as optional serial
data, USB, keyboard, and mouse. These options facilitate complete remote computer control and display,
including the ability to connect USB peripherals. The 7707RGBT is designed to operate with a companion
7707RGBR receiver, to allow communication over fiber optic cable with minimal latency.
The 7707DVIT provides the same features listed above, but only accepts a digital (DVI) input.
Instead of fiber optic cable connections, the -C and –C2 versions of the card provide an economical 3.125
Gb/s electrical coaxial link.
The –EO versions provide an electrical I/O path via coaxial cable in addition to the fiber I/O path. This
allows the cards to interface with electrical routers supporting 3.125 Gb/s, while providing the capability to
convert the electrical signal back to optical on the same card, prior to transmission.
The –GF version provides a fiber optic link and the –GC version provides a coaxial link to transmit an RGB
or DVI signal to interface with Evertz MVPTM or VIPTM multi-display products using the G-Link protocol.
Monitoring and control of the card status and parameters are provided locally at the card-edge, or
remotely via VistaLINK®capability. The optical output of the 7707RGBT is available in 1310nm, 1550nm,
CWDM and DWDM wavelengths.

1.1. SETTING UP THE DDC VALUE
DDC (Display Data Channel) is a series of protocols that enables plug and play communication between a
graphics adapter and a computer monitor. It allows the display to communicate its supported display
modes and display parameters to the graphics adapter.
The DDC emulation mode will need to be set on the transmitter card (RGBT/DVIT) before plugging a PC
into the RGBT/DVIT card. If the DDC is subsequently changed then a full re-boot will need to occur to
allow the DDC change to take effect.
1. Ensure that the PC is off or not connected to the RGBT/DVIT card.
2. Set the DDC emulation mode depending on your system configuration:
LCD: Emulate display with digital (DVI) input and output.
CRTA: Emulate display with analog (RGB) input and analog (RGB) output.
CRTD: Emulate display with analog (RGB) input and digital (DVI) output.
3. Connect the PC to the RGBT/DVIT card and power on the computer.
"
Please note: The DDC setting can not be set and applied while the PC is on and
connected to the RGBT card. Please ensure that the PC is not connected or is
turned off when changing the DDC.

optic cable.
2.2. SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
VIDEO INPUT:The 7707DVIT accommodates digital DVI input signals only. The 7707RGBT DVI-I
connector accommodates analog and digital display technologies, promoting optimal
compatibility with different display types. Input DVI signals may be connected directly to
this port. A DB-15 RGB connection may also be accommodated using an industry standard
DB-15 to DVI-I adapter such as the Belkin F2E4162, or appropriately terminated cable
assembly such as the Amp 16539332-1.
"When making digital DVI connections, Evertz recommends using only high quality
DVI cables, no longer than 6 feet (1.8m).
AUDIO INPUTS (A2 & A2KM Versions): The 7707RGBT/DVIT-A2 and 7707RGBT/DVIT-A2KM
modules provide a terminal block for input connections compatible with either balanced or
unbalanced analog audio. Balanced audio signals should be connected to the positive (+)
and negative (-) input terminals. Unbalanced audio signals should be connected to the
positive (+) input terminal, and a jumper connection should be installed between the
negative (-) input terminal and the ground terminal ( ).
KEYBOARD (A2KM Versions): The 7707RGBT/DVIT-A2KM provides a PS2 port for a keyboard
connection. Using a PS2 cable, connect this port to the PS2 keyboard port on the

Evertz MVPTM multi-display products. In either case, this connection may be extended
using Belden 1694 or equivalent cable.
Rx (-A2KM –C2 versions): BNC connector for the electrical link input of the 7707RGBT/DVIT. This
signal should be connected to the OUTPUT port of a companion 7707RGBR/DVIR.

7700 Multi-Frame Manual
7707RGBT/DVIT DVI and RGB Video/Audio Fiber Transmitter
Page - 6 Revision 1.6
Tx OUT (-EO Versions): BNC connector for the electrical bypass output of the 7707RGBT/DVIT
optical output (see Figure 1-1). This port should be connected to the Tx IN port of another
7707RGBT/DVIT card and may be switched using a 3.125Gb/s capable electrical router.
This signal may be extended using Belden 1694 or equivalent cable. If switching of this
signal is not required, it may be directly connected to the card’s own optical output by
installing a short BNC cable between Tx OUT and Tx IN.
Tx IN (-EO Versions): BNC connector for the electrical bypass input of the 7707RGBT/DVIT optical
output. The incoming electrical signal to this port will be converted to an optical signal at
the optical output port (see Figure 1-1). This port accepts the Tx OUT signal from another
7707RGBT/DVIT card, which may be switched using a 3.125Gb/s capable electrical router.
If switching of this signal is not required, it may be directly connected to the card’s own
electrical output by installing a short BNC cable between Tx OUT and Tx IN.
Rx OUT (-A2KM -EO versions): BNC connector for the electrical bypass output of the
7707RGBT/DVIT optical input. The incoming optical signal to the 7707RGBT/DVIT will be
converted to an electrical signal at this port (see Figure 1-1). This port should be
connected to the Rx IN port of another 7707RGBT/DVIT and may be switched using a
3.125Gb/s capable electrical router. This signal may be extended using Belden 1694 or
equivalent cable. If switching of this signal is not required, it may be directly connected to
the card’s own electrical input by installing a short BNC cable between Rx OUT and Rx IN.
Rx IN (-A2KM -EO versions): BNC connector for the electrical bypass input of the 7707RGBT/DVIT
optical input (see Figure 1-1). This port accepts the Rx OUT signal from another
7707RGBT/DVIT, which may be switched using a 3.125Gb/s capable electrical router. If
switching of this signal is not required, it may be directly connected to the card’s own optical
input by installing a short BNC cable between Rx OUT and Rx IN.
2.3.1. Interfacing Coaxial/Optical (-EO) Version Cards with an Electrical Router
-EO version cards are equipped with on-board electrical/optical conversion capabilities. Electrical bypass
ports for the optical in/outputs allow the use of a 3.125 Gb/s capable electrical router for switching signals
between the transmitters and receivers without requiring the use of additional external electrical-to-optical
and optical-to-electrical converters.
See section 2.3 for an explanation of the electrical bypass ports (Tx IN, Tx OUT, Rx IN, Rx OUT). Figure
2-2 illustrates a typical setup using an electrical router with unidirectional (non-A2KM version)
coaxial/optical 7707RGBT/DVIT transmitters and 7707RGBR/DVIR receivers. The electrical outputs of
multiple 7707RGBT/DVIT cards may be switched among the electrical inputs of the same cards. The
optical output will reflect whichever electrical input happens to be connected to that particular card. This
allows electrical switching of the optical signals connected to the companion 7707RGBR/DVIR receivers.
Figure 2-3 illustrates a typical setup using an electrical router with bidirectional (-A2KM version)
coaxial/optical 7707RGBT/DVIT transmitters and 7707RGBR/DVIR receivers. Note the additional pair of
electrical connections to the router. To ensure proper system operation in bidirectional configurations, it is
important that the Tx OUT and Rx OUT from any one 7707RGBT/DVIT are both switched at the same time
to the Tx IN and Rx IN on a single destination 7707RGBT/DVIT. This should be taken into account when
programming router salvo operations.

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 clean the optical end face
of a connector properly 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 caused by 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. Evertz fiber optic modules come with
lockout devices to prevent the user from damaging the fiber connector by installing a module into a slot in
the frame that does not have a suitable rear plate. 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.
