7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880DEC-H264HD H-264 HD Decoder INSTALLATION 2.1. REAR PLATE DESCRIPTION The 7880DEC-H264HD comes standard with a companion +3RU rear plate. Figure 2-1 provides an illustration of the 7880DEC-H264HD rear plate. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame, see section 3 of the 7800FR manual. -
Page 7: Ethernet Connection
7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880DEC-H264HD H-264 HD Decoder 2.1.1. Ethernet Connection The 7880DEC-H264HD 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 – 568 100Ω STP cable may be used. When connecting for 100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable is required. -
Page 8: Hardware Installation
To successfully install the 7880DEC-H264HD, you will require: 1. An unused IP address on the network or a DHCP server 2. An Evertz serial cable 3. VLPro Server IP address Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn. -

Page 19: Misc. Control
Output Video Colour: Options are Black or Blue, this is the colour that will be output when the input is lost. NOTE: Using Blue is a good compliment to the Evertz MVP/VIP systems, which by default use Green to signify loss of the input. Thus a blue screen will indicate a loss of source at the encoder, not at the MVP/VIP. -
