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 7707VT-8-OC48 DWDM and 7707VR-8-OC48 cards directly with
a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VT-8-OC48 DWDM card produces +7dBm of
power, which will damage the receiver if connected directly.
"
Do not hook up 7707VT-8-OC48 cards that output more than -7dBm of power (see
7707VT-8-OC48 specifications for output power of various laser types). Do not hook
up the 7707VR-8-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707VT-8-OC48 cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

7707VT-8-OC48 Eight Channel SDI + Ethernet SONET/SDH Fiber Transmitter
Revision 1.4.2 7707VT-8-OC48-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707VT-8-OC48 is a VistaLINK®enabled, fiber transmitter for SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi video signal that
transports signals at OC-48/STM-16 data rates (2.488 Gb/s) and interfaces directly to SONET/SDH
infrastructure. The card also has a built-in Ethernet transceiver with a 10/100 Base-T port. This single card
combines up to eight asynchronous SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi signals using Time Domain Multiplex (TDM)
technology and transmits them over a single fiber. The companion 7707VR-8-OC48 Octal SDI Receiver
demultiplexes the signals and converts them back to separate SDI video feeds.
The 7707VT-8-OC48 and companion 7707VR-8-OC48 will transparently pass incoming 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.
7707VT13-8-OC48 1310 nm FP -7dBm output, suitable for distances up to 50 Km
7707VT15-8-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. INSTALLATION
The 7707VT-8-OC48 comes with a companion rear plate that has nine BNC connectors and one SC/PC
(shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the
module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.
Figure 2-1: 7707VT-8-OC48 Rear Panel
SDI INPUT: Eight independent BNC input connectors for 10-bit serial digital video signals
compatible with the SMPTE 259M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 305M standards. These inputs provide
adaptive compensation for up to 250m of industry standard Belden 8281 cable, at 270Mb/s.
MON OUTPUT: User selectable video loopback output. Any of the inputs can source this output for
reclocked loop back functionality. Selection is controlled via card edge menu or VistaLINK®. If
EDH correction is activated, the selected output will be EDH corrected.
FIBER OUTPUT Output SC/PC, SC/PC with cover (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector. This
optical output contains the eight input SDI video 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 fiber output.

Do not hook up the 7707VT-8-OC48 DWDM and 7707VR-8-OC48 cards directly with
a short fiber optic cable. The 7707VT-8-OC48 DWDM card produces +7dBm of
power, which will damage the receiver if connected directly.
"
Do not hook up the 7707VT-8-OC48 cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707VT-8-OC48 specifications for output power of various laser types) and/or
the 7707VR-8-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707VT-8-OC48 cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

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.

LOCAL FAULT: On the 7707VT-8-OC48 board this Red LED will be ON if a laser fault exists, or 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.
On the 7707VT-8-OC48 there are nine small LEDs on the front of the board that indicate the optical link
status and the presence of video signals.

4.2.1.13. Performance Monitoring and Error Reporting
The 7707VT-8-OC-48 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.
