WARNING
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can
occur in a matter of milliseconds.
"
Do not hook up the 7707MT DWDM cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707MT DWDM cards produce +7dBm of power which will damage
the receiver if connected directly.

7707MT Multi-Signal SDTV Fiber Transmitter
Revision 1.8 7707MT-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707MT Multi-Signal Fiber Transmitter is a VistaLINK
®
enabled, fiber transmitter for SDI Video, AES
Audio, RS422 control and GPIO. This single card module transports one uni-directional SDI Video plus
two uni-directional AES Audio plus one bi-directional RS422 plus two bi-directional GPI’s and GPO’s.
These signals are combined using Time Domain Multiplex (TDM) technology and transmitted over a single
fiber. The companion 7707MR Multi-Signal Fiber receiver de-multiplexes the signals and converts them
back to their original formats.
The 7707MT and companion 7707MR will transparently pass incoming SDI video feeds with embedded
AES audio or any other data in the horizontal or vertical ancillary data space. Minimal Audio to Video
latency over the transport interface is also achieved.
The fiber output is available in an assortment of optical wavelengths, accommodating 1310nm/1550nm,
CWDM and DWDM transmission schemes.
The 7707MT 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:
•SDI Video, 2 AES Audio, 1 bi-directional RS-232/422 and 2 GPI/O fiber optic transmitter
•Supports 525 or 625 line 4:2:2 component SDI signals
•Supports SDTi signals
•Supports 32, 44.1, 48kHz AES audio inputs
•Dolby-E™ compatible
•Supports bi-directional RS-422 signals at baud rates up to 3Mb/s
•AES audio inputs can be synchronous or asynchronous to each other and/or to input video
•Reclocked SDI output for additional signal distribution
•Signal transport over fiber uninterrupted by loss of input SDI, AES, Serial Data or GPI/O feeds
•Low Audio to Video latency over transport interface
•Comprehensive signal and card status monitoring via four digit card edge display or remotely through
SNMP and VistaLINK
®
•VistaLINK
®
capability is available when modules are used with the 3RU 7700FR-C or 350FR frame
and a 7700FC VistaLINK
®
Frame Controller module in slot1 of the frame
•Local display of optical signal strength, video, audio, and data presence, video and AES formats, EDH
errors, GPI and GPO status
•Automatic coaxial input equalization to 300m at 270Mb/s (Belden 1694A)
•Fully hot-swappable from front of frame with no fiber disconnect/reconnect required
•Bi-directional optical input/output
•Accepts any wavelength in the 1270nm to 1610nm range
•Optical output wavelengths of 1310nm, 1550nm, and up to sixteen CWDM wavelengths (ITU-T
G.694.2 compliant)
•DWDM wavelengths (ITU-T G.694.1 compliant) also available
• Supports multi-mode and single mode fiber optic cable

7707MT-2 Revision 1.8
Different versions of the 7707MT 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 (1310nm) and transmit on different wavelengths (1550nm) 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.
The following chart shows some typical applications and power budget calculations for the 7707MT:

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707MT comes with a companion rear plate that has two BNC connectors, one female DB15 and one
SC/PC, SC/PC with cover (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the
rear plate and inserting the module into the frame see the 7700FR chapter section 3.
Figure 2-1: 7707MT and 7707MT-F2 Rear Panels
SDI IN: Input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals, compatible with the SMPTE 259M, or
SMPTE 305M standards. Optional support for DVB-ASI signals. This input provides adaptive
equalization compensation for up to 300m of industry standard Belden 1694 cable, at 270Mb/s.
SDI OUT: Output BNC connector for reclocked serial digital component video signal, compatible with the
SMPTE 259M, or SMPTE 305M standards.

7707MT-4 Revision 1.8
Single Fiber Version
OPTICAL I/O: There is one SC/PC, SC/PC with cover (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector.
This optical I/O contains the input SDI video signal, the AES audio present at the AES1
and AES2 inputs and the bi-directional Serial Data and GPI/O signals. Any ancillary
data (e.g. embedded audio, closed captioning, etc) present in the input SDI video
stream prior to multiplexing, is transparently passed through to the output. This
connector also serves as the optical input for the bi-directional serial data and GPI/O
signals
Dual Fiber (-F2) Version
FIBER IN: There is one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector with the optical input
to the module. This connector should be connected to the FIBER OUT connector of a
dual fiber 7707MR module at the destination end with a suitable fiber optic cable. The
dual fiber 7707MT versions receive on wavelengths in the 1270 to 1610nm range.
FIBER OUT: There is one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector with the optical output
from the module. This connector should be connected to the FIBER IN connector of a
dual fiber 7707MR module at the destination end with a suitable fiber optic cable. The
dual fiber 7707MT versions transmit on the wavelength marked on the rear panel and
are designed to work with either single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable.
