7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
Revision 1.9 7700PTX-MVP - 1
1. 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. The
7700PTX is equipped with 20 general purpose inputs that can be used for the purposes of alarming or
tally.
Function:
The function of the 7700PTX generally falls into one of four categories:
1. Third-Party Router Control: In this mode the 7700PTX affords VistaLINK®the ability to control
and monitor third-party routers. The 7700PTX can convey UMD information to Evertz
monitoring equipment.
2. Third-Party UMD Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX translates third-party UMD protocol data
into a format suitable for Evertz monitoring equipment.
3. Third-Party Switcher Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX extracts tally information from third-
party switchers and translates and conveys that tally information to Evertz monitoring
equipment.
4. Third-Party Device Control: In this mode the 7700PTX allows VistaLINK®to control third-party
devices such as satellite controllers.
Features:
•4 serial ports RS232/422 selectable
•20 opto-isolated General Purpose inputs (GPI)
•Selectable +5V or +12V supply for driving GPI over longer cable runs
•GPI easily accessed through pin-headers (2x6 Phoenix Terminal Blocks) on the rear plate
•Modular, conveniently fits into 7700FR-C 3RU frame
•Module status LED and 20 GPI LEDs for simple GPI input diagnostics
•Frame status trigger
•VistaLINK®- capable for remote monitoring and control via SNMP (using VistaLINK®PRO)
1.1. PORTS
The 7700PTX-MVP is an Under Monitor Display (UMD) protocol converter that translates unidirectional
protocols from Other Vendor Equipment (OVE) into a protocol suitable for the Evertz MVP.
The 7700PTX-MVP has the following ports for protocol usage:
•4 serial ports
•1 10/100 Ethernet port
•20 General purpose inputs
7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-MVP Unidirectional UMD Protocol Translator
7700PTX-MVP - 2 Revision 1.9
The 7700PTX-MVP can:
•Receive 1 protocol per serial port
•Receive up to 4 TCP protocol streams, one for each unique configurable TCP port
•Receive status data via the 20 general purpose inputs
•Transmit data over each of its serial ports
•Transmit data to a maximum of 12 peers via TCP
1.2. UMD PROTOCOLS
1.2.1. Incoming
The 7700PTX-MVP supports the following incoming protocols:
1. Leitch Up/Down timer
2. Image Video
3. Television Systems Limited (TSL)
4. Buftek crosspoint UMD
1.2.2. Outgoing
The 7700PTX-MVP transmits only the Image Video protocol over serial or TCP.
1.2.3. Protocol Stream Combiner
The PTX can combine incoming protocol streams received over various incoming ports into a single
stream intended for a single PPV. For instance, data received on serial ports 1 and 2 can
simultaneously be routed to serial port 3.
1.2.4. Protocol Stream Replicator
The PTX can send a protocol stream received on an incoming port to more than one outgoing port. For
example, an Up/Down timer protocol received on serial port 1 can be sent to serial ports 1, 2, 3, 4, and
up to 12 outgoing TCP connections via the Ethernet port.
1.2.5. Protocol Routing
Incoming data streams can be independently routed to outgoing ports. For instance, data received on
serial port 1 can be routed to serial port 2. Data received on serial port 3 can be routed to serial ports 1
and 3.

2. CARD EDGE CONTROLS
2.1. DETERMINING CURRENT IP ADDRESS SETTINGS
To read the current IP address during normal operation, press the toggle switch DOWN. The IP
address can be read on the four-character alphanumeric display.
2.2. RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS
To restore all settings to factory defaults, apply power to the card while holding the toggle switch UP
until the green LED is illuminated.
2.3. CARD EDGE LEDS
LED 22 is illuminated when Ethernet activity is detected.
All other card edge LEDs are for factory use only.

4. CONFIGURATION
4.1. CONFIGURATION STEPS
Perform the following steps to configure the 7700PTX-MVP:
1. Connect a PC running a console application to the PTX debug/monitor port via the adapter
cable.
2. Configure the 7700PTX-MVP’s network parameters.
3. Configure the parameters of each serial port to match those of the OVE.
4. Configure what protocols will be received on what ports (incoming protocol translation setup).
5. When transmitting data via TCP, configure the IP address and TCP port of the peers (outgoing
protocol translation setup).
6. Configure the incoming port-to-outgoing port routes.
7. Power off the 7700PTX-MVP.
8. Physically wire the serial port(s) of the 7700PTX-MVP to the OVE.
9. Power on the 7700PTX-MVP.
4.2. DEBUG/MONITOR PORT CONNECTION
The 7700PTX-MVP is configured via the debug/monitor port, the header of which is labelled J1. A
special Evertz adapter cable allows this port to connect to the COM port of a personal computer. The
following steps describe this procedure.
1. Locate the small, keyed, four–pin end of the upgrade cable provided by Evertz.
2. Connect it to the four-pin interface (J1) near the front of the 7700PTX, directly above the card
unlock latch.

7700PTX-MVP - 6 Revision 1.9
3. Connect the other end of the upgrade cable to a straight-through serial cable. Connect the
serial cable to the serial or COM port of the computer.
4. Initiate HyperTerminal on your computer by selecting:
“Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal”.
5. Enter a name for your connection, for example: PTX.
6. Press the <Enter> key. A new “Connect To” window will open as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2: ‘Connect To’ Window
7. Select the COM1 setting from the “Connect using’ drop down menu. If COM1 is in use, choose
an alternate COM port.
8. Press the <Enter> key or select OK. This opens the “COM Properties” window as shown in
Figure 4-3.
