  • Page 5: Overview

    7700PTX-CTP Contribution Tally Protocol Translator OVERVIEW The 7700PTX Universal Protocol Translator module provides an interface between third-party and Evertz equipment. The 7700PTX communicates with third-party equipment either via one of four serial ports or via a built in Ethernet port. These ports can provide bi-directional protocol support.
  • Page 6 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7700PTX-CTP Contribution Tally Protocol Translator The function of the 7700PTX-CTP is to monitor the Contribution Tally Protocol to: 1. Determine which, if any, of the switcher’s inputs is contributing to the switcher’s program output. This is represented by the 7700PTX-CTP as a collection of virtual GPIs and conveyed via TCP to the display card(s) of an MVP.
