The Evertz 7707RGBR is a specialized video input option card for the Evertz 7700 series modular frame platform, engineered to acquire, process, and extend high-resolution computer graphics and KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) signals within broadcast, post-production, and command center environments. This card serves as a critical gateway for integrating non-SDI content, accepting analog RGBHV (VGA) and digital DVI-D signals from sources like presentation laptops, graphics workstations, and servers. It converts these signals into a broadcast-standard digital video stream that can be seamlessly routed, switched, and monitored alongside other video sources in the facility. A core function of this card is its integrated KVM-over-IP extension capability, which allows the USB peripherals (keyboard and mouse) connected to the card to control the source computer from a remote operator station anywhere on the network, enabling centralized management of critical but physically distant machines.

The card performs essential signal conditioning to ensure broadcast-quality output. It includes frame synchronization (genlock) to align the inherently asynchronous computer signal with the facility's master timing reference, preventing glitches during switching or multi-viewer display. It also handles automatic format detection, scaling to predefined output resolutions, and color space conversion. This processing transforms volatile computer outputs into stable, reliable video sources suitable for live production. The "R" in the model number may denote specific features such as enhanced resolution support, a particular connector type, or advanced remote desktop protocol capabilities for the KVM function.

As a hot-swappable module within the Evertz 7700 frame, the 7707RGBR is built for 24/7 reliability and offers comprehensive monitoring and control through the frame's system software. This provides engineers with real-time visibility into input status, signal health, and KVM session activity. By consolidating high-quality video capture, robust signal processing, and networked KVM extension into a single, managed hardware slot, Evertz delivers a streamlined professional solution. This empowers facilities to cleanly and reliably integrate computer-based content—such as graphics, data feeds, and control interfaces—into their core broadcast and operations workflows, maintaining signal integrity and operational control.
