7707MR

SDI, 2 AES Audio, Bi-Directional RS-232/422, 2 GPI & 2 GPO, Fiber Receiver

Interact with this product in a Layout Tool:

The 7707MR Multi-Signal Fiber Receiver is a VistaLINK® capable fiber optic receiver for SDI Video, AES Audio, RS-422 control, and GPI/O signals. This single card module demultiplexes one uni-directional SDI Video, two uni-directional AES Audio, one bi-directional RS-422 and two bi-directional GPI's and GPO's that have been Time Domain Multiplexed (TDM) by the companion 7707MT Multi-Signal Fiber Transmitter module. Evertz's patented SoftSwitch™ technology is applied to the received signal to ensure virtually glitch free AES Audio output signals when upstream SDI or AES feeds are switched. The 7707MR and companion 7707MT 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 1310/1550nm, CWDM and DWDM transmission schemes.

The 7707MR occupies one card slot and can be housed in the 1RU 7801FR frame which holds up to four single or two dual slot modules, the 3RU 7800FR frame which has a 15 slot capacity, the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity, or a standalone enclosure which holds a single module.
