1. OVERVIEW
The 5782DEC is a professional high quality 3G/HD/SD-SDI H.264/MPEG-2 decoder platform. It offers
high end decoding support for both MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC optionally up to 4:2:2 10-bit.
The 5782DEC is perfect for monitoring applications or decoding for downstream baseband video and
audio processing.
The 5782DEC can reconstruct in the most flexible way all VANC & HANC data in the baseband
outputs.
The 5782DEC can be integrated in the Evertz 7881IRD-H264HD-LB platform to create a highly flexible
demodulating and decoding DVB-S/S2 satellite receiver.
2. GETTING STARTED
The 5782DEC module comes with a rear plate that occupies one slot in a frame.
2.1. CONNECTIONS
OUT 1-2: Two BNC connectors with re-clocked serial component video outputs, compatible
with the SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 424M (+3G) standards. OUT 2
can be additionally configured for ASI output from IP or the down-converted SD-SDI
output (HDC).
DATA 1-2: Two SFP cages for streaming Transport Stream data. SFPTR-RJ45-SGM-AV sold
separately.
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. Locate on a frame chassis a vacant slot. Unpack
the 5782DEC and separate the rear panel from the main card. Locate the slot on the rear of the rack
and remove the blanking panel. Insert the rear panel into the back of the chassis and secure using the
two screws provided.
Before inserting the front card, connect the serial cable to the board using the serial cable provided.
Now insert the 5782DEC card into the corresponding front slot ensuring the card lines up with the slot
runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card into the slot ensuring that when it
mates with the rear panel is has been firmly pushed into a seated position. This can be confirmed when
the connectivity lights for the Ethernet port are illuminated. Do not connect the HD/SDI Input cable to
the rear card until the initial configuration has been completed (failure to do this could cause unwanted
network issues).
1. Connect the Evertz serial upgrade cable (ribbon cable) to the 2x3 header at the front edge of
the 5782DEC.
4. From the main menu, four selections are available. Select Network Setup and the menu
illustrated below will appear. Set the desired network addresses per your requirement. After
entering all settings choose Exit two times to get back to the login prompt. The card must be
rebooted for all the network settings to take effect.

Destination UDP Port Number: This parameter allows user to select the destination UDP port
number for the input data stream.
Gratuitous ARP: This parameter allows the user to enable/disable the Gratuitous ARP feature. This
is most useful when accepting a unicast stream to prevent last hop switch from Mac address
flooding.
Gratuitous ARP Address: When Gratuitous ARP is enabled, the Decoder Data port will ARP for the
IP address provided at an approximate 2 minute interval. A suggestion is to enter the default gateway
of the subnet. This will refresh the switches’ MAC address table and help to prevent a unicast flood
scenario.

handled; the options include Auto, PCM, DolbyE and AC3.
Adaptive Latency: This parameter allows the user to enable adaptive latency mode. This parameter
can also be configured to the Min latency mode.
When adaptive latency is configured “ON”, input stream HRD parameters are examined to
determine which buffer settings can be applied for the decoder.
When configured “OFF”, input stream HRD parameters are ignored and the maximum buffer offset
is applied to the decoder as a safety precaution.
When configured “MIN”, input stream HRD parameters are examined to determine which buffer
settings can be applied for the decoder, but also more aggressively if HRD parameters are missing,
the decoder tries to infer from other parameters. This is an advanced setting, the user must be very
careful before setting the decoder to MIN adaptive latency mode. If the buffers are set to minimum
level and the HRD parameters are incorrect, it will result in a buffer underflow.

sent directly to 3080UEP-H264HD-IPASI control IP Port, the data is then captured and embedded
into the encoder output on a Private Data PID. The 5782DEC can extract data from this Private Data
PID and output it as a UDP packet on its own control port.
VANC PID <1-4>: This parameter allows the user to specify the SMPTE2038 PID. This PID is
required to reconstruct Vertical Ancillary data from the SMPTE2038.

6. UPGRADE PROCEDURES
6.1. UPDATING VISTALINK PRO SERVER JAR FILE
Products from Evertz are constantly evolving and new features are often added. It is therefore
important to update the JAR files in use to provide access to all the latest features or enhancements. It
will also be necessary to add JAR files for new products.
To perform a JAR update, ensure that all VLPro clients are closed (the clients which are not closed will
automatically be disconnected as soon as the VLPro Server is restarted). Maximize the VLPro Server
window from the Windows task bar and select Help>Apply Update>Product from the menu.
A window will appear, as shown in Figure 6-2. Navigate to the location of the new JAR file and double
click to select the file. The window will automatically close and the update will be applied in the
background.
NOTE: You may confirm that all updates have been successfully applied by
selecting from the menu Tools>View>Show/Hide Product update log.
Shutdown the server by selecting File>Shutdown Server from the menu bar. Now re-open the server, it
is normal for the start up to take marginally longer while each individual update is being applied. Once
complete, you may restart the VLPro Client. As the Client restarts you will experience a short delay
while the update is applied. A prompt will appear confirming that the updates have been applied.
Using the WebEASY® on a web interface is the fastest and recommended procedure to load firmware
onto the 5782DEC.
On the top of the web page for the 5782DEC, there is a tab labelled Upgrade. The Upgrade tab is used
to check current firmware version and upload the latest firmware.
Check the box under the Upgrade column, and click Choose File to locate the image file. Once
selected, click Open to advance to the next step.
Click Upgrade and watch the progress bar for the status. Once completed, the device will automatically
restart.
Ensure that the 5782DEC is running the latest firmware, to check this simply right click on the card’s
address in VLPRO Client and select Version Information as shown in Figure 6-7.
Once Version Information is clicked, the module will be able to be selected for upgrading.
1. Open the Hardware Tree and select the card to be upgraded.
2. Check the box beside the card to be upgraded.
3. Click the Upgrade button on the bottom right corner.
4. Click the Browse button to select the 5782DEC image file.
5. Click the Upgrade button and wait for the upload to complete. This will take approximately 5 to
10 minutes depending on network traffic. The progress bar will provide feedback on the status
of the upgrade.
6. Upon completion, the 5782DEC module will reboot automatically and return online in normal
“run” mode.
