7707VR-8-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707VR-8 is a
Vista
LINK
®
– enabled fiber optic receiver for SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi signals. This
double card module demultiplexes up to eight SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi video signals that have been Time
Domain Multiplexed (TDM) by the companion 7707VT-8 Octal SDI Fiber Transmitter module.
The 7707VR-8 and companion 7707VT-8 will transparently pass 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
Vista
LINK
®
.
The 7707VR-8 occupies two card slots in the 3 RU frame, which will hold up to 7 modules or one card slot
in the 1RU frame, which will hold up to three modules. One 7707VR-8 module can also be installed in the
S7701 stand-alone enclosure.
