2.1.1. Electrical Signal Connections
HD/SD INPUT:Input BNC connector for serial digital video signals compatible with HD-SDI
(SMPTE 292M), SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-C), SDTi (SMPTE 305.2M) and DVB-ASI
standards. This input provides adaptive equalization for up to 100m of industry
standard Belden 1694A cable, at 1.485Gb/s. At 270Mb/s, this input provides
adaptive equalization for up to 300m of Belden 1694A cable. See section 3.1 for
video input specifications.
HD/SD OUTPUT: Reclocked, level-restored, loop-back output BNC connector for serial digital video
signals compatible with HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-C), SDTi
(SMPTE 305.2M), or DVB-ASI (EN 500083-9) standards. See section 3.2 for video
output specifications.
AES IN: AES audio input connections of the removable terminal block. The 7707MTA-HD
accommodates four AES audio channels, designated as A1, A2, A3, and A4. Each
of these four channels has a positive and negative terminal associated with it, and is
able to accept balanced or unbalanced AES without card configuration. Balanced
and unbalanced audio signals are connected as follows:
Balanced - Connect positive and negative audio signals to the corresponding
positive and negative terminals of the 7707MTA-HD. This connection arrangement
yields a nominal 110Ωinput impedance for balanced audio signals.
Unbalanced - Connect unbalanced audio signals to the positive input terminal of
the 7707MTA-HD. Leave the negative input terminal unconnected. This connection
arrangement yields a nominal 75Ωinput impedance for unbalanced audio signals.
See section 3.3 for AES audio input specifications.

7707MTA-HD Multi-Signal HD/SD, AES, and Control Fiber Transmitter
Revision 1.3 Page-5
SERIAL: Bi-directional serial data connections of the removable terminal block. The 7707MTA-HD
accommodates one channel of RS-422, RS-232, or RS-485 serial data. Data input
connections are labeled DI, while data output connections are labeled DO. The card must
be configured for use with RS-422, RS-232, or RS-485, as described in section 3.4. Serial
data connections are assigned per the data type selected. RS-422 and RS-232 signals are
connected as follows:
RS-422 - Connect positive and negative RS-422 input and output signals to the
corresponding positive and negative terminals of the 7707MTA-HD. Bi-directional data will
be communicated to and from the companion 7707MRA-HD.
RS-232 - Connect each RS-232 input data signal to the negative DI terminal (DI-) of the
7707MTA-HD. The companion 7707MRA-HD will output each signal on the corresponding
negative DO terminal (DO-). Likewise, serial data signals applied to the companion
7707MRA-HD will be output from the 7707MTA-HD.
RS-485 - Operation with RS-485 requires that DI and DO terminals be connected together.
The DI+ terminal should be connected to the DO+ terminal, and the DI- terminal should be
connected to the DO- terminal. Connect positive and negative RS-485 signals to the
corresponding positive and negative terminals of the 7707MTA-HD.
See section 3.4 for serial data specifications.
See section 4.2.10 to 4.2.15 for serial data configuration instructions.
GPI: General Purpose Input connections of the removable terminal block. The General Purpose
Input is an active-low, opto-isolated connection activated by connection to the ground pin.
GPO: The General Purpose Output is dry-contact relay closure. The A and B terminals are
jumper selectable as normally open, or normally closed, via a jumper on the I/O board.
See section 3.5 for GPIO specifications.
2.1.2. Optical Signal Connections
For details about link operation, see sections 4.1 and 4.2.
2.1.2.1. Single Fiber Versions
FIBER I/O: This is the optical input/output of the single-fiber 7707MTA-HD-W module. The connector
is a female SC/PC (shown), ST/PC, or FC/PC connector as specified at the time of
purchase. This input/output should be connected to the FIBER I/O connector of a
companion single-fiber 7707MRA-HD-W module with a suitable fiber optic cable.
The 7707MTA-HD-W is designed to work with single-mode fiber optic cable. The
7707MTA15-HD-W transmits and receives on 1550nm and 1310nm wavelengths
respectively.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7707MTA-HD Multi-Signal HD/SD, AES, and Control Fiber Transmitter
Page-6 Revision 1.3
Note that while the optical input to the companion 7707MRA-HD-W is invalid (eg. not
connected) then the optical output of the companion 7707MRA-HD will also be invalid. This
will result in a LINK…LOS condition (section 4.2.1) at the optical input of the 7707MTA-HD-
W.
The optical output of the 7707MTA-HD-W can be configured to operate in continuous or
discontinuous mode as described in section 4.2.8. If discontinuous mode is selected, while
the video input to the 7707MRA-HD-W is invalid (VID…LOS condition, section 4.2.1) then
this optical output will be disabled. If continuous mode is selected, then a valid optical video
output will be maintained.
2.1.2.2. Dual Fiber Versions
FIBER IN: This is the optical input to the dual-fiber 7707MTA-HD-F2 version of the module. The
connector is a female SC/PC (shown), ST/PC, or FC/PC connector as specified at the time
of purchase. This input should be connected to the FIBER OUT connection of a companion
dual-fiber 7707MRA-HD-F2 module with a suitable fiber optic cable. The dual fiber
7707MTA-HD-F2 version accepts input wavelengths from 1270nm to 1610nm,
accommodating standard, CWDM or DWDM transmission schemes. When connected
directly to a companion dual-fiber module, the 7707MTA-HD-F2 is compatible with multi-
mode fiber optic cable. If not connected directly (i.e. connected through CWDM, DWDM,
WDM, or splitter/combiner) the 7707MTA-HD-F2 is compatible only with single-mode fiber
optic cable.
FIBER OUT: This is the optical output of the dual-fiber 7707MTA-HD-F2 version of the module. The
connector is a female SC/PC (shown), ST/PC, or FC/PC connection as specified at the time
of purchase. This optical output is available in 1310nm, 1550nm, and up to sixteen CWDM
wavelengths (ITU-T G.694.2 compliant). This output should be connected to the FIBER IN
connector of a companion dual-fiber 7707MRA-HD-F2 module with a suitable fiber optic
cable. The output wavelength is marked on the rear panel of each 7707MTA-HD-F2. When
connected directly to a companion dual-fiber module, the 7707MTA-HD-F2 is compatible
with multi-mode fiber optic cable. If not connected directly (i.e. connected through CWDM,
DWDM, WDM, or splitter/combiner) the 7707MTA-HD-F2 is compatible only with single-
mode fiber optic cable. The optical output can be configured to operate in continuous or
discontinuous mode as described in section 4.2.9.
If discontinuous mode is selected, while the optical input to the 7707MTA-HD is invalid
(LINK…LOS condition, section 4.2.1) then this optical output will be disabled. If continuous
mode is selected, while the optical input is invalid then this optical output will contain invalid
information, but will still output.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
2.2.2. Assembly
Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is done only at Evertz facility and performed only by qualified
Evertz technical personnel.
2.2.3. Labeling
Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label. As there is not enough room on the
product to place the label it is reproduced here in the manuals.
•There is no date of manufacture on this label as it can be traced by the bar code label placed on
the Printed circuit board of each Evertz plug-in module
•The Model number is 7707MTA15-HD-W
Figure 2-3: Reproduction of Laser Certification and Identification Label
2.2.4. 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 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 care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter of this manual binder.

Two large LEDs at the front card-edge indicate operational health of the module as follows:
MODULE OK: This green LED indicates good module health. It will be on while a valid signal is
present at the video input, the output laser is operating properly, and the card power
is good.
LOCAL FAULT: This red LED indicates poor module health. Three conditions could cause this fault
indication to be active: No valid signal is present at the optical input, operation of the
output laser is erroneous, or if a card power fault exists (i.e. a blown fuse). The
LOCAL FAULT indication can also be reported to the frame by setting the FRAME
STATUS jumper.

Page-12 Revision 1.3
There are eight small LEDs on the back of the card-edge that indicate signal presence. Some of these
LEDs are Bi-colour, and are able to illuminate as red or green. The functions of these LEDs are as follows:
LED 1, VIDEO STATUS: This LED indicates the status of the video Input. When a valid input video
signal is detected the LED will be green. When CRC errors are detected within the input video
signal (with error detection enabled, see section 4.2.22) the LED will flash red. If no video is
detected on the video input of the 7707MTA-HD the LED will remain off.
LED 2, LINK STATUS: This LED indicates the status of the Fiber Input. When a valid optical input
signal is detected the LED will be green. When CRC errors are detected within the input video
signal (with error detection enabled, see section 4.2.21) the LED will flash red. If no valid
optical signal is detected on the fiber input of the 7707MTA-HD the LED will remain off. Note
that while the optical input to the companion 7707MRA-HD is invalid (eg. not connected) then
the optical output of the companion 7707MRA-HD will also be invalid. This will result in a
LINK…LOS condition (section 4.2.1) at the optical input of the 7707MTA-HD.
LED 3, AUDIO 1 STATUS: This LED indicates the status of Audio Input 1. When a valid input audio
signal is detected the LED will be green. When errors are detected within the input audio
signal (with error detection enabled, see section 4.2.23) the LED will flash red. If no audio is
detected on the first audio input of the 7707MTA-HD the LED will remain off.
LED 4, AUDIO 2 STATUS: This LED indicates the status of Audio Input 2. When a valid input audio
signal is detected the LED will be green. When errors are detected within the input audio
signal (with error detection enabled, see section 4.2.23) the LED will flash red. If no audio is
detected on the second audio input of the 7707MTA-HD the LED will remain off.

4.2.1. Displaying Warning Status Indications
Upon entering menu level 1 on power up, or following a configuration selection, the default display
selection will indicate the warning status of the 7707MTA-HD. This warning status indication can also be
entered while already in menu level 1, by using the toggle switch. During normal operation, while no
warning conditions are active, the OK indication will be displayed. Four warning indications can supersede
this display state. The following list describes possible indications for this menu item, listed in order of
display priority:
LASR…ERR Laser Error Warning. Flashing indication alternates between LASR and ERR
LINK…LOS Loss of Optical link input. Flashing indication alternates between LINK and LOS
VID…LOS Loss of Video input. Flashing indication alternates between VID and LOS
OK Okay. No warning conditions are active
Note that while the optical input to the companion 7707MRA-HD is invalid (e.g. not connected) then the
optical output of the companion 7707MRA-HD will also be invalid. This will result in a LINK…LOS
condition at the optical input of the 7707MTA-HD.
