7707VT-3-HS-OC48 Triple HD/SDI/ASI/SDTi + Ethernet SONET/SDH Fiber Transmitter
Revision 1.1 7707VT-3-HS-OC48 - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707VT-3-HS-OC48 is a VistaLINK®enabled, fiber transmitter for HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi
video signal that transports signals at OC-48/STM-16 data rates (2488.32 Mb/s) and interfaces directly to
SONET/SDH infrastructure. The card also has a built-in Ethernet transceiver with a 10/100/1000 Base-T
port. This dual fiber single card combines up to one HD-SDI plus two asynchronous SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi
signals using Time Domain Multiplex (TDM) technology. A companion 7707VR-3-HS-OC48 card acts as a
demultiplexer for the incoming signal and converts them back to separate SDI video feeds, while utilizing a
separate fiber for the outgoing signal.
The 7707VT-3-HS-OC48 will transparently pass incoming HD and SD-SDI video feeds with embedded
AES audio or any other data in the horizontal or vertical ancillary data space. Monitoring and control of
card status and parameters is provided locally at the card edge or remotely via VistaLINK®.
The fiber output is available in an assortment of optical wavelengths, accommodating standard, CWDM or
DWDM transmission schemes.
7707VT13-3-HS-OC48 1310 nm FP -7dBm output, suitable for distances up to 50 Km
7707VT15-3-HS-OC48 1550 nm DFB 0dBm output, suitable for distances up to 75 Km
There are several versions with built in isolators specifically suited to coarse wave division multiplexing
(CWDM) applications. These versions all have 0dBm output and are suitable for distances up to 75 Km.

(DWDM) applications. The DWDM versions are suitable for distances >120 km @ 270 Mb/s (for DWDM
applications contact the factory).

2.1.4. Handling and Connecting Fibers
"
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber
connectors when not connected. 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 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. 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 the care and handling of
fiber optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design section of this manual binder.

if the laser is set to Discontinuous mode with no valid inputs present, or if a local
input power fault exists (i.e.: a blown fuse).
The LOCAL FAULT indications 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 input
signal is present, and the laser and board power are good.
VIDEO IN STATUS LED:
GREEN Valid signal input. No errors.
RED Valid signal input. Errors detected.

PAYLOAD STATUS LED:
GREEN Payload OK.
RED Errors detected.
4.2. CARD EDGE DISPLAY
Additional signal and status monitoring is provided via the 4-digit dot-matrix display located at the card-
edge. The card edge toggle switch is used to select whether you are displaying status from the card

The 7707VT-3-HS-OC48 card enables the user to proactively monitor the performance parameters of
three physical layers in two different counter settings. A current interval counter is indicated on the card as
CIC and the last interval counter is indicated as LIC. Both counters keep track of 15-minute and 24-hour
time period.
To display the errors, depress the pushbutton, go to STAT/FIBR and choose the appropriate setting (for
example, STAT/FIBR/CIC/15m/ESL to access the line errors reported in the last 15 minutes on the current
interval counter). Refer to Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 for menu structure.
Line Layer Performance Parameters
• ESL (Errored Seconds – Line) shows the number of seconds during which a line Bit Interleaved
Parity (BIP) error or an alarm signal was detected.
• SESL (Severely Errored Seconds – Line) displays the number of seconds during which H, line BIP,
or alarm signal error was detected. H can be set by the user through the CTRL/SETH/SESL menu.
Section Layer Performance Parameters
• ESL (Errored Seconds – Section) shows the number of seconds during which a signal Bit
Interleaved Parity (BIP) error or an alarm signal was detected.
• SESL (Severely Errored Second – Section) shows the number of seconds during which H, section
BIP, or alarm signal error was detected. H can be set by the user through the CTRL/SETH/SESS
menu.
Path Layer Performance Parameters
• ESL (Errored Seconds – Path) shows the number of seconds during which a path Bit Interleaved
Parity (BIP) error or an alarm signal was detected.
• SESL (Severely Errored Seconds – Path) shows the number of seconds during which H, more
path BIP, or alarm signal error was detected. H can be set by the user using the
CTRL/SETH/SESP menu.
Frame Errors
• SEFS (Severe Errored Seconds – Frame) shows the number of seconds during which H or more
Frame errors were detected. H can be set by the user in the CTRL/SETH/SEFS menu.
