Page 4 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAR-3G 3G/HD/SD with 4 AES Audio Fiber Receiver 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 7707VAT-3G DWDM cards and 7707VAR-3G cards directly with a short fiber optic cable.
Page 5: Overview
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAR-3G 3G/HD/SD with 4 AES Audio Fiber Receiver OVERVIEW The 7707VAR-3G is a VistaLINK capable fiber optic receiver for 3G, HDTV or SDTV video and AES ® audio signals. This single card module outputs one 3G, HD-SDI or SD-SDI video plus four AES audio signals that have been transmitted by the companion 7707VAT-3G fiber optic transmitter.
Page 6: Installation
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAR-3G 3G/HD/SD with 4 AES Audio Fiber Receiver INSTALLATION Each 7707VAR-3G module comes with a companion rear plate that has two BNC connectors, multi-pin removable terminal block connections, and an SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. The 7707VAR-U-3G modules come with a companion rear plate that has six BNC connectors and one SC/PC, SC/PC with cover (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector.

7700 MultiFrame Manual 7707VAR-3G 3G/HD/SD with 4 AES Audio Fiber Receiver 2.2. AES AUDIO CONNECTIONS (MODEL 7707VAR-3G) AES OUTPUT: AES audio output connections of the removable terminal block. The 7707VAR-3G has four AES audio outputs, 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 output balanced or unbalanced AES.
Page 8: Care And Handling Of Optical Fiber
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 the user maintains a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable.
