2. OVERVIEW
The VIP Advanced DUO is the most advanced compact multi-image display processor technology
available. It supports up to 3Gbps SDI inputs and up to two unique display outputs. The VIP-A DUO takes
compact multi-image display to the next level.
The VIP Advanced DUO is available in three sizes: 8 inputs with up to 2 outputs, 16 inputs with up to 2
outputs, and 32 inputs with up to 2 outputs. The VIP-A DUO inputs are auto-sensing SD, HD, and 3Gbps
(SMPTE 424M). Each VIP-A DUO input can be displayed in any size, position or aspect ratio on any
display. Both display outputs from the VIP-A DUO are provided over DVI and HD-SDI, which are both
available simultaneously. The VIP-A DUO provides the best quality input reproduction, borrowing the
latest in video processing technology from Evertz industry acclaimed conversion products.
The VIP Advanced DUO is a hot-swappable device, which can be populated in Evertz widely installed
3RU 7800 multi-frame chassis with an option for redundant power supplies.
The VIP Advanced DUO device is VistaLINK® - enabled, offering remote monitoring, control and
configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The VIP-A DUO is easily
configurable via the web server interface or card edge. Similar to the MVP, layout creation can be
performed in a live control environment using Evertz' Maestro™ software. Other key features include
automatic aspect ratio adjustment on a source-by-source basis, graticule generation, VITC/HD time code
decode, and much more.
Key VIP™ Features:

• Accepts 8 (VIPA8-DUO), 16 (VIPA16-DUO), 18 (VIPA18-DUO), 24 (VIPA24-DUO) or 32 (VIPA32-
DUO) inputs with embedded audio

3.4. GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

GPI interfacing with the 7867VIPA is possible through 4 general purpose inputs (pins 10, 11, 12, 13) and
2 general purpose outputs (pins 4, 9) available on the HD-15 connector on the rear plate of the module.
The GPIs are active low with internal pull-up resistors (4.7k Ohms) to +5 V. To make an input active,
lower the signal to near ground potential (i.e. connect to shell or chassis ground). This can be done with a
switch, relay, TTL drive, GPO output, or using another similar method. Figure 3-4 shows the input circuit
for the general-purpose inputs. Figure 3-6 shows an example of how to interface the VIP GPI inputs to
higher voltage systems.

The GPOs are active low with internal pull-up (10kΩ) resistors to +5 V. When the output goes low, it is
able to sink up to 10 mA; when the output goes high, the signal will go high (+5 V). Do not draw more
than 100µA from the output. Figure 3-5 shows the circuit for the general-purpose output.

3.5. ETHERNET NETWORK CONNECTIONS
ETHERNET1 / 2: These RJ-45 connectors are Ethernet ports which facilitate control via VistaLINK®
PRO or Maestro software. It is also used for FTP firmware upgrades. The VIP
module comes delivered from the factory with Ethernet 2 as the default active port;
Ethernet 1 is disabled and is not used at this time.
Figure 3-10: Rear Plate – Ethernet Ports
The 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA16-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA18-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA24-DUO-HS, and the

7867VIPA32-DUO-HS are designed to be used with either 10Base-T (10 Mbps) or 100Base-TX (100
Mbps) also known as Fast Ethernet, 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. Make the network connection by
plugging one end of a “straight through” cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS,
7867VIPA16-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA18-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA24-DUO-HS, or the 7867VIPA32-DUO-HS and
the other end into a port of the supporting hub. If you are connecting the VIPA card directly to an
Ethernet port on a computer you will have to use a “crossover” cable.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout information in
Table 3-2. A colour code wiring table is provided in Table 3-2 for the current RJ-45 standards (AT&T

7800FR MultiFrame
258A or EIA/TIA 258B colour coding shown). Also refer to the notes following the table for additional
wiring guide information.

Table 3-2: Standard RJ45 Wiring Colour Codes
Note the following cabling information for this wiring guide:

• Only two pairs of wires are used in the 8-pin RJ-45 connector to carry Ethernet signals.
• Even though pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used, it is mandatory that they be present in the cable.
• 10BaseT and 100BaseT use the same pins; a crossover cable made for one will also work with the
other.
• Pairs may be solid colours and not have a stripe.
• Category 5 cables must use Category 5 rated connectors.
The maximum cable run between the 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA16-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA18-DUO-

HS, 7867VIPA24-DUO-HS, or 7867VIPA32-DUO-HS and the supporting hub is 300 ft (90 m). The
maximum combined cable run between any two end points (i.e. 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS and PC/laptop via
network hub) is 675 feet (205 m).
Devices on the Ethernet network continually monitor the receive data path for activity as a means of
checking that the link is working correctly. When the network is idle, the devices also send a link test
signal to one another to verify link integrity. The rear panel is fitted with two LEDs to monitor the Ethernet
connection.
10/100: This Amber LED is ON when a 100Base-TX link is last detected. The LED is OFF
when a 10Base-T link is last detected (the LINK LED is ON). Upon power-up the
LED is OFF as the last detected rate is not known and therefore defaults to the
10Base-T state until rate detection is complete.
LN/ACT: This dual purpose Green LED indicates that the 7867VIPA card has established a
valid linkage to its hub, and whether the 7867VIPA card is sending or receiving
data. This LED will be ON when the 7867VIPA card has established a good link to
its supporting hub. This gives you a good indication that the segment is wired
correctly. The LED will BLINK when the 7867VIPA card is sending or receiving data.
The LED will be OFF if there is no valid connection.
In order to use the Ethernet connection you will have to configure the IP addresses for your network. See
section 7.2.1.

5. STATUS LEDS
5.1. MODULE STATUS LEDS
MODULE STATUS: This Green LED will be on when the module is operating properly.
LOCAL FAULT: This Red LED makes it easy to identify one module in a frame that is missing
an essential input or has another fault.
The Red LED will blink on and off if the microprocessor is not running.
The Red LED will be on when there is a fault in the module power supply or a
user configurable error condition exists (as configured through the Frame
Status Trigger menu option).
5.2. VIDEO STATUS LED AND CARD EDGE 4-CHARACTER DISPLAY

Some key user components can be found at the card edge:
1. Toggle Switch
2. Local Fault Status LED
3. 4 Character Dot Matrix Display
4. Push Button
• Toggle Switch: This component will become active once the card has completed booting.
Its primary function is to navigate through the menu system.
• Local Fault Status LED: This component will be set upon initial power up to red. Once the
card is in a normal operating mode, it will be set to green. If the card has booted,
and the LED remains red or becomes red, this indicates an internal error.
• 4 Character Dot Matrix Display: This component will become active once power is applied to
the card. This component is used to relay text-based information to the user. It
will be used to scroll build and card information, or display the menu options to
the user.
• Push Button: This component will become active once the card has completed booting. It
is primarily used for navigating through the menu system.

BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
The FRAME STATUS jumper J4, on the bottom board, determines whether local faults (as shown by the
Local Fault indicator) on the bottom board will be connected to the 7800FR frame's global status bus.
FRAME STATUS: To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the Power
Supply FRAME STATUS LED's and on the Frame's Fault Tally output) install this
jumper in the On position. (Default)
When this jumper is installed in the Off position local faults on this module will not
be monitored.
6.2. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES VIA SERIAL PORT
RUN/UPGRADE: The RUN/UPGRADE jumper on the bottom board is used when firmware upgrades
are being done to the module. For normal operation it should be installed in the
RUN position. See the Upgrading Firmware chapter in the front of the binder for
more information.
To upgrade the firmware in the module unit via the serial port pull it out of the
frame. Move the RUN/UPGRADE jumper into the UPGRADE position. Install the
Upgrade cable provided (located in the vinyl pouch in the front of the binder) onto
SERIAL header J7 at the card edge. Re-install the module into the frame. Run the
upgrade as described in section 8.2. Once the upgrade is complete, remove the
module from the frame, move the jumper into the RUN position, remove the
upgrade cable and re-install the module. The module is now ready for normal
operation.
 The serial port method of upgrading the firmware will take over 15 minutes and is
not recommended unless the FTP method fails.

7. MODULE CONFIGURATION
The parameters of the VIP™ module are configured through the following tools:
• Module Card-edge: Enables the user to set the module’s network settings.
• Module Serial Port: Enables the user to set the module IP address and TRAP destination IP
addressing, network identification.
• Web Server Interface: A web browser can be used to connect to a VIP. This interface does not
require any additional software to be installed other than your standard web browser software (i.e.
Internet Explorer, Fire Fox, etc).
• Maestro: This is a software configuration tool included with every VIP module used to design
preset layouts for one or multiple VIP systems, along with all on screen display elements including
audio bar graphs, UMD, tallys and fault messages. Specifically colour, transparency, borders, etc.
that are all included in the final display output.
• VistaLINK® PRO: An SNMP software tool that is used to set the fault monitoring thresholds and
durations for each VIP module detected on the network and/or for fault message (TRAP) receipt
and data logging.
• Module Card-edge DIP Switches: Only to be enabled during boot-up sequence, DIP switches
enable the following cases/features:
1. Used to clear high level NV– DIP switch 2, 3 and 4 open (to the right)
2. Used to clear low level NV– DIP switch 2, and 4 open (to the right)
3. If none of the above cases/features are required, leave all DIP switches closed (to the left)
7.1. CONFIGURING THE MODULE VIA THE CARD EDGE MENU

When you are not in the menu system, the user will see product identification and build revision across
the 4 character dot matrix display.
To enter the menu on the card-edge, press the card-edge pushbutton once and follow the menu headings
on the 4-character display. To adjust any parameter, use the toggle switch to move up or down to the
desired parameter and press the pushbutton. Using the toggle switch, adjust the parameter to its desired
value. If the parameter is a numerical value, the number will increase if you push up on the toggle switch
and decrease if you push down on the toggle switch. If the parameter contains a list of choices, you can
cycle through the list by pressing the toggle switch in either direction. The parameter values are changed
as you cycle through the list.
When you have stopped at the desired value, depress the pushbutton. This will return to the parameter
select menu item you are setting (the display shows the parameter name you were setting). To change
another parameter, use the toggle switch to select other parameters. If neither the toggle switch nor
pushbutton is operated for several seconds the card edge control will exit the menu system and return to
an idle state.
On all menus, there is an extra selectable item: BACK. Selecting BACK will take you to the previous menu
(the one that was used to get into the current menu). On the main menu, BACK will take the user to the
normal operating mode (indicated by the moving line on the card edge display).

7800FR MultiFrame
Table 7-1 gives a brief description of the top level of the menu tree that appears when you enter the card

7.3. WEB SERVER INTERFACE

A simple web server interface is provided for control over the VIP. This interface is accessed remotely via
an IP connection to the device from a PC. To interface to the VIP and control using the web interface
simply set the IP address on the VIP, place a PC on the same network either directly connecting to the
VIP via cross over Ethernet cable or through a network switch. Ensure the PC’s network adapter is set to
the same network as the VIP. For example, if the VIP is set to 192.168.9.100, then set the PC to
192.168.9.xxx (any value between 2 and 254 excluding the value 100 which is the VIP module). Once the
PC is confirmed to be on the same network as the VIP (use PING in DOS window to confirm), open a web
browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, or Fire Fox, etc) in the navigation toolbar (address bar) and type the IP
address of the VIP (for example, 192.168.9.100). Upon connecting the VIP, the VIP will display the
screen identified in Figure 7-1, where the card provides access to control using standard web interface
navigation tools.
The web browser is easy to navigate. Simply select a major category, either Card Setup or Layout, and
then use the sub categories in the main body of the page to navigate and setup specific options for the

9. UPGRADING FIRMWARE
The 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA16-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA18-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA24-DUO-HS, and
7867VIPA32-DUO-HS possess firmware that is contained in a FLASH EPROM device. From time to time
firmware updates will be provided to add additional features to the unit.
There are two methods of updating the firmware in the 7867VIPA8-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA16-DUO-HS,
7867VIPA18-DUO-HS, 7867VIPA24-DUO-HS, and 7867VIPA32-DUO-HS units: File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) and Serial Upload. Due to the large size of the firmware binary file, the FTP method is the preferred
method of updating the firmware.
Prior to initiating the upgrade process:

• Confirm the version of code currently installed on the unit by using the front panel display.
• Download the new application code from the Evertz FTP site (www.evertz.com). Unzip the file into a
temporary working folder on your PC.
9.1. UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE USING FTP

You will need the following equipment in order to update the Firmware:
• PC with available communications port and Ethernet network port.

• “Straight-thru” serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male) or (DB25 female to DB9 male).
• Special upgrade cable supplied with the 7800FR frame. This multi-coloured ribbon cable with a six pin
header socket on one end and a female 9 pin D connector on the other end, (Evertz part number WA-
S76) which is normally in the vinyl pouch at the front of the manual binder.
• Appropriate Ethernet cable as outlined in section 3.5.
• Terminal program such as HyperTerminal.
• New firmware supplied by Evertz.
9.1.1. Step 1 – Determine the IP Addresses

Before any FTP (file transfer protocol) upgrades can be initiated, the user must determine the IP address
of the 7867VIPA card. Both the PC/laptop and the unit must be on the same subnet for the FTP upgrade
to work properly. Follow the procedure outlined in section 7.2.1 to set the IP address for the card.
9.1.2. Step 2 – Establishing a Valid Network Connection

1. Connect a crossover network cable from the PC/laptop to the card.
2. Open a DOS window. This can be accomplished by using the run command under the start button,
type “cmd”. See Figure 8-1 for more information.

7800FR MultiFrame
Figure 9-1: Run Window
3. “Ping” the IP address of the module being upgraded to confirm that you have a valid network
connection. In the command prompt window type: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address of the module)
and press <Enter>.
If a proper network connection has been established, a “reply” is displayed on the DOS window. If
there is a faulty network connection, a “Destination Host Unreachable” message is provided. If this
occurs, either the IP addresses of the nodes should be verified or the network (Ethernet) cable is
faulty. For more information, please see sections 3.5 and 7.2.1 of this manual.
Figure 9-2: Pinging the IP Address
9.1.3. Step 3 – Upgrading the Application Code

4. Obtain the new application code and place it on the local drive of the PC.
5. In the command prompt window type: ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address of the module).
6. Press the <Enter> key when prompted for a “Username”.
7. Press the <Enter> key when prompted for a “Password”. A message indicating that you have logged
in is displayed.

7800FR MultiFrame
8. At the “FTP>” prompt type hash to turn on the progress indicator during the ftp upload.
9. At the “FTP>” prompt type quote site upgrade to put the unit in upgrade mode. A message
indicating that you are in upgrade mode is displayed.
10. At the “FTP>” prompt type: put “the name of the file.bin” to send the firmware to the unit.
(For example: put 7867VIP_1v0b310.bin)
11. If the application file is not local to where you are performing the ftp, then include the path with the
name (For example: put c:\firmware\ 7867VIP_1v0b310.bin).
 During this time it is mandatory that all power cycles of the unit be avoided. Figure
8-3 displays a successful FTP session.
12. A message indicating the successful connection to the module is displayed.
13. File transfer occurs in several seconds, and the DOS window displays the “FTP>” prompt again.
14. At the “FTP>” prompt type quit to exit the FTP procedure.

7800FR MultiFrame
Figure 9-3: Upgrade Window
9.1.4. Step 4 – Completing the Upgrade

15. Disconnect the power to the unit and then plug it back into reboot the unit.
16. You can now close the DOS window and disconnect the network cable.

7800FR MultiFrame
9.2. UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE USING RS-232 SERIAL CABLE
 This method of upgrading the firmware will take over 15 minutes and is not
recommended unless the FTP method fails.
You will need the following equipment in order to update the Firmware:
• PC with available communications port. The communication speed is 115200 baud, therefore a 486
PC or better with a 16550 UART based communications port is recommended.
• “Straight-thru” serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male) or (DB25 female to DB9 male).
• Special upgrade cable supplied with the 7800FR frame. This multi-coloured ribbon cable with a six pin
header socket on one end and a female 9 pin D connector on the other end, (Evertz part number WA-
S76) is normally in the vinyl pouch at the front of the manual binder.
• Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol. (such as HyperTerminal)
• New firmware supplied by Evertz.
9.2.1. Step 1 – Setup

17. Connect the 7800PB Serial Upgrade cable to the 2 row x 3 pin header on the bottom board.
18. Connect the 9 pin connector on the end of the Serial Update cable to the PCs’ RS-232
communications port.
19. Start the terminal program.
20. Configure the port settings of the terminal program as follows:
Baud 115200
Parity no
Data bits 8
Stop bits 2
Flow Control None
9.2.2. Step 2 – Invoke Upload Mode from the Terminal Program

21. Power up the VIPA card. After the unit powers up, a banner with the boot code version information
should appear in the terminal window. The cursor to the right of the word “BOOT>” should be spinning
for about 5 seconds then the unit will continue to boot. While the cursor is spinning press Ctrl-X to
abort the boot-up process.
For example:
PPC BOOT>

7800FR MultiFrame
22. The following is a list of possible reasons for failed communications:
• Defective Serial Upgrade cable.

• Wrong communications port selected in the terminal program.
• Improper port settings in the terminal program. (Refer to step 20 for settings). Note that
HyperTerminal will not change port settings while connected. Click on HyperTerminal’s
“Disconnect” Button then click the “Reconnect” button to activate changes to the port settings.
23. Hit the <ENTER> key on your computer once.
24. Type the word “upload”, without quotes, and hit the <ENTER> key once.
25. You should now see a prompt asking you to upload the file.
9.2.3. Step 3 – Uploading the New Firmware

26. Upload the “*.bin” file supplied using the X-Modem transfer protocol of your terminal program. If you
do not start the upload within 10 minutes the unit’s Boot code will time out. You can restart the
upgrade process by power cycling the unit.
27. When the transfer is complete (can take up to 15+ minutes) the terminal will return to the PPCBOOT
prompt.
For Example:
UPLOAD OKAY
PPC BOOT> |
28. The following is a list of possible reasons for a failed upload:
• If you get the message "transfer cancelled by remote" you must restart the terminal program and
load the bin file, then remove and install the module again.
• The supplied “*.bin” file is corrupt.
• Wrong file specified to be uploaded.
• Wrong file transfer protocol used – make sure you specify Xmodem, not Xmodem 1K.
• The PCs’ RS-232 communications port cannot handle a port speed of 57600.
• Noise induced into the Serial Upgrade cable.
9.2.4. Step 4 – Completing the Upgrade

29. Power cycle the unit. It should proceed through a normal boot up sequence.
30. You can now close the terminal program and disconnect the RS-232 serial cable from the PC and the
unit.

11. SETTING UP PRESET LOADS
11.1. SETTING UP A GPI PRESET LOAD - ONBOARD SERVER

Please note that this procedure assumes an SCT has already been installed and configured.
These instructions also assume the default install location of VIP software. If you have installed the VIP
software elsewhere, please substitute your install location wherever the default location is referenced in
the following sections:
Initial configurations of GPI preset loads require the use of Windows Explorer and Notepad. GPI preset
loads are configured through two files: actions.vssl and gpicfg.vssl
11.1.1. The gpicfg.vssl File

The gpicfg.vssl file maps actions to GPIs. These mapped actions are used to define what the gpi will do
(e.g: load a preset).
The syntax for the gpicfg.vssl file can be broken down into three parts:
Part 1: obj GPISource ("DC1")
This defines where the GPIs are connected. When running the Onboard Server, the name of
the output card must be set to (“Local”), and only the GPIs connected to that card may be
used for preset loads. For all other output cards in the system, the GPIs will operate normally.
Part 2: obj gpi(1)
This defines the GPI that will trigger the action (i.e.: the preset load).
Part 3: { action = "presetload" }
The action allows the system to link a GPI to an operation (i.e.: a preset load). The name of the
action defined in the gpicfg.vssl will then be called in the actions.vssl file, the second
configuration file. The actions.vssl file will define that operation.
Example of a configured gpicfg.vssl file:
obj GPISource ("DC1") {

obj gpi(1) { action = "presetload" }
}
This configuration maps GPI 1 for DC1 to an action called “preset load”.

7800FR MultiFrame
11.1.2. The actions.vssl File

The actions.vssl file maps actions to a function. These mapped actions are used to define what action will
be executed (e.g.: load a preset).
The syntax for the actions.vssl file may be broken down into three parts:
Part 1: obj ActRunScript("presetload")
This defines the name of the action. The name is referenced by gpicfg.vssl
Part 2: script = "preset1.vssl"
This defines the name of the script file (preset) that will be triggered by the action. The
script file is created in Maestro during design mode.
Part 3: display = 1
This defines the output that the preset will be loaded on. This is a logical output number.
Example DC1, 1,2,3,4, DC2, 5,6,7,8
Example of a configured actions.vssl file:
obj ActRunScript("presetload") {
script = "preset1.vssl"
display = 1
}
This configuration maps the action “presetload” to the preset “preset1.vssl” which will be loaded on the
first output of the first display card in the system.

11.2. SETTING UP A VGPI PRESET LOAD – ONBOARD SERVER
VGPIs are virtual GPIs sent by a 7800MVP-PTX or a third party device adhering to the VGPI
protocol format.
Initial configurations of VGPI preset loads require the use of Windows Explorer and Notepad. VGPI
preset loads are configured through two files: actions.vssl and gpicfg.vssl
Please note that this procedure assumes the System Configuration Tool has already been
installed and configured.
These instructions also assume the default install location of VIP software. If you have chosen an
alternate install location, please substitute your install location wherever the default location is referenced
below.
11.2.1. The gpicfg.vssl File

The gpicfg.vssl file maps actions to VGPIs. These mapped actions are used to define what the VGPI will
do (e.g.: load a preset).
The syntax for the gpicfg.vssl file can be broken down into three parts:
Part 1: obj GPISource ("Local")

This defines where the VGPIs are connected. With an onboard server, this entry must be set to
(“Local”), and only the VGPIs connected to the onboard server card can be used for the preset
load. For onboard systems with two output cards, the VGPIs will operate normally for the card not
running the server.
Part 2: obj vgpi(1)

This defines the VGPI that will trigger the action (the preset load).
Part 3: { action = "presetload" }

The action allows the system to link a VGPI to an operation (i.e.: a preset load). The name of the
action defined in the gpicfg.vssl will then be called in the actions.vssl file (the second
configuration file). The actions.vssl file then will define that operation.
The following is an example of a configured gpicfg.vssl file
obj GPISource ("Local") {

obj vgpi(1) { action = "presetload" }
}
This configuration maps VGPI 1 for an onboard server to an action called “preset load”.
11.2.2. The actions.vssl File

The actions.vssl file maps actions to a function. These mapped actions are used to define what the action
will do (e.g.: load a preset).
The syntax for the actions.vssl file can be broken down into three parts:

7800FR MultiFrame
Part 1: obj ActRunScript("presetload")

This defines the name of the action. The name is referenced by gpicfg.vssl
Part 2: script = "preset1.vssl"

This defines the name of the script file (preset) that will be triggered by the action. The script file is
created in Maestro during design.
Part 3: display = 1
This defines the output that the preset will be loaded on. This is a logical output number.
The following is an example of a configured actions.vssl file
obj ActRunScript("presetload") {
script = "preset1.vssl"
display = 1
}
This configuration maps the action “presetload” to the preset “preset1.vssl”, which will be loaded
on the first output of the first display card in the system.

14. VISTALINK® REMOTE MONITORING/CONTROL

14.1. WHAT IS VISTALINK®?
VistaLINK® is Evertz’ remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet
network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a standard computer network
protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other.
VistaLINK® provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm
events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server. Card configuration through
VistaLINK® PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste
routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally, VistaLINK® enables the
user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration
has been carried out.
There are 3 components of SNMP:
1. An SNMP manager, also known as a Network Management System (NMS), is a computer running
special software that communicates with the devices in the network. Evertz VistaLINK®-C
Configuration Utility graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be
used to monitor and control Evertz VistaLINK® enabled products.
2. Managed devices, each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the NMS through an SNMP
Agent. The 7867VIPA8/16/32-DUO-HS communicates directly with the manager using its internal
Agent.
3. A virtual database known as the Management information Base (MIB) lists all the variables being
monitored, which both the Manager and Agent understand. Please contact Evertz for further
information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS.

15. APPENDIX A
15.1. DIN SPECIFICATIONS
15.1.1. Evertz DIN1.0/2.3 Connector Details
As I/O density increases and size decreases today’s broadcast manufactures are constantly looking for
ways to find a happy medium between these two diametrically opposed concepts. One simple way is to
move away from standard 75Ω BNC connectors and to begin using some smaller form factor 75 Ω
connector. Recent developments from connector manufactures has resulted in the availability of a new
type of connector quickly becoming popular to meet exactly this need. The connector is referred to as a
DIN type connector. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as MiniDIN, Mini BNC or SMA connectors DIN type
75 Ω connectors are becoming very popular both due to their high performance capability, easily
supporting 3G applications, their obvious high density, and the fact that the connector offers a positive
locking style connector instead of BNC’s compression style fit. Evertz’s next generation of smaller high
density applications must not only work well in terms of performance and signal quality. They must also
support 3Gb/s signals, work well in difficult physical environments such as Trucks and OB vans. That is
why for applications requiring a connector with a higher density than that of BNC while offering 3Gb/s
performance and a positive lock onto their mating jack Evertz has chosen to use the DIN connector.
The particular connector chosen is the DIN1.0/2.3 connector. This connector, originally established as a
50 Ω connector for the telecommunications industry, has been redesigned as a 75 Ω connector for the
broadcast industry. The connectors are typically rated to 3.7-4Gb/s data rates (a 4Gb/s capable
connector might be referred to as a 2GHz connector) and support typical mini hi-res cable or standard
HD/3G cable depending on the connector.
For small diameter cable, Belden 1855A is the cable Evertz uses as a reference, but of course any cable
with appropriately matching specifications to that of Belden 1855A cable will work. When choosing a
different cable take care to compare the AWG/diameter of the center conductor, the OD (outside
diameter) of the outer shield, and the OD of the jacket (total cable OD), as the measurements that should
be carefully matched to ensure the cable will properly perform with the DIN1.0/2.3 connectors that support
this size cable. Information on 1855A style connector is included below.
For large diameter cable, Belden 1694A is the cable Evertz uses as a reference but of course any cable
with appropriately matching specifications to that of Belden 1694A cable will work. Information on 1694A
style connectors is included below. There are several other types of connectors available from different
manufacturers, which meet the DIN1.0/2.3 specification, and these connectors will work too. We offer this
information on 3rd party connectors as a result of empirical anecdotal testing and not as an endorsement
of one vendor over another. Please contact Evertz for further support and information regarding DIN
Specifications.

15.1.2. ITT Cannon DIN1.0/2.3 Connector Details

The Cannon 75 _ 1.0/2.3 connector series are widely used in applications requiring a high density solution
and have become a standard in telecommunications in many parts of the world. Designed to meet the
requirements of DIN 47247 and CECC 22230, these connectors feature a push/pull coupling mechanism
to ensure mating integrity and a snap-on interface for ease of connection. Due to their small size these
connectors can be densely packed while providing significant space savings over other 75Ω connector
products.
