Page 7: Installation
The 7880IP-ASI-IP comes standard with a companion +3RU rear plate. Figure 2-1 provides an illustration of the 7880IP-ASI-IP rear plate. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame, see section 3 of the 7700FR manual. -
Page 8: Ethernet Connection
Outputs corresponds to the IP Inputs on the 7880IP-ASI-IP module. 2.1.2. Ethernet Connection The 7880IP-ASI-IP Series uses 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps) or Gigabit (1Gbps) twisted pair Ethernet cabling systems. When connecting for 10Base-T systems, category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable as well as EIA/TIA –... -

(4) Debug Interface This menu is for Evertz personnel only. You may be requested to access and execute options within this menu when seeking technical support from Evertz. Guidance will be given should this be required. Before is it possible to configure the card via VLPro it is first necessary to configure the initial basic network settings via the serial cable. -

3. If required also configure option (3) Set Gateway. 4. Exit the Network Configuration menu using (s) Save and Exit, NOT (x) Exit. Figure 2-6: 7880IP-ASI-IP Network Configuration Sub-Menu You have now completed the necessary minimum configuration and can connect the cables to the rear card when ready. -

Step 1 above. It may take up to a minute to appear while the card and switch negotiate network settings (this can be verified directly on the switch if necessary). Please note that the 7880IP-ASI-IP will identify two items under the IP address in the navigation tree: IpToAsi and InputToIp. The user will be required to individually select each item to configure the appropriate function. - Page 14 VLPro finds the card and confirms its configuration. Please consult your network administrator if you continue to have problems connecting the card with VLPro, alternatively contact Evertz Microsystems Ltd. or your authorized reseller for technical support.

Select “View Configuration” from one of the modules available (Main, IpToAsi and InputToIp). The configuration page will open enabling the user to toggle the configuration tabs in order to configure the parameters of the 7880IP-ASI-IP. Sections 4.1 to 4.3 provide an explanation of the features and functions of the 7880IP-ASI-IP card. -

7700/7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880IP-ASI-IP IP/ASI/IP Converter • TS Packet Per Frame: This field enables the user to enter the number of MPEG packets to be encapsulated per IP packet. The range of MPEG packets per IP packet is from 1 to 7. Long- length packets are undesirable due to the excessive impact from losing each IP packet. -

7700/7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880IP-ASI-IP IP/ASI/IP Converter • Stream Delay (ms): This field enables the user to set the size of the stream delay. A larger stream delay value will correspond to a larger buffer size. The total delay through the card is equal to the decapsulation processing time, plus FEC processing time, plus the stream delay time. - Page 23 7700/7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880IP-ASI-IP IP/ASI/IP Converter • Clear Stream Stats: The network statistic can be reset at any time by selecting the “Clear Stream Stats” button. To apply the new setting, click the Apply button and the statistics will be reset and begin counting from zero again.
