5. OVERVIEW OF CARD CONTROL
The 7812DCDA2Q-HD (-AA and –AES4) series of products are controlled using VistaLINK
®
PRO.
VistaLINK
®
PRO operates using Ethernet and SNMP control protocols. The 7812DCDA2Q-HD (-AA and –
AES4) series modules DO NOT HAVE
card edge controls. As a result, 7700FC modules must be installed
in all frames that house 7812DCDA2Q-HD (-AA and –AES4) series modules. Refer to the Evertz website
for the most recent firmware for the 7700FC. When using VistaLINK
®
PRO it is also important to ensure
that the most recent 7812DCDA2Q-HD (-AA and –AES4) series “.JAR” control file is installed. Refer to the
Evertz website for the most recent 7812DCDA2Q-HD (-AA) series “.JAR” file.
The following sections describe module control in terms of the parameters found within the VLPRO
screens for the 7812DCDA2Q-HD-AA. As additional features and options are released, additional
sections will be appended to this manual to show those control screens.
