About the Evertz (B)7707RGBT RGBHV/DVI/KVM Fiber Transmitter
The Evertz 7707RGBT is a professional-grade, rack-mountable fiber optic transmitter designed for the ultra-long-distance, high-fidelity transport of high-resolution video, audio, and control signals in demanding broadcast, post-production, and command & control environments. This unit specializes in converting multiple signal types—including RGBHV (computer video), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), and KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) data—into a single optical signal for transmission over single-mode fiber. Its primary purpose is to enable operators to place critical video sources and computer systems in secure, centralized equipment rooms while allowing user control from ergonomically positioned workstations that can be located hundreds of meters or even kilometers away, without any degradation in signal quality or latency.
Engineered for maximum reliability and signal integrity, the transmitter handles complex video timings and high bandwidths with precision, ensuring pixel-for-pixel accuracy for mission-critical monitoring and display applications. It supports a comprehensive range of audio embedding and de-embedding options, allowing for the simultaneous transport of associated audio channels alongside the video stream. The integrated KVM-over-fiber functionality is a key feature, transmitting bidirectional USB HID (Human Interface Device) data for keyboard and mouse control, creating a seamless extension of the computer workstation itself. This holistic approach to signal extension consolidates what would traditionally require multiple cables and devices into a single, manageable fiber link, drastically simplifying infrastructure and improving system resilience.
Housed in a compact 1RU chassis, the 7707RGBT is built for 24/7 operation in broadcast facilities and operation centers. It features advanced status monitoring via front-panel LEDs and supports remote management through Evertz' overarching control systems. The unit exemplifies the broadcast industry's shift towards fiber-based signal distribution, offering electromagnetic immunity, exceptional bandwidth, and future-proof scalability. By providing a robust, all-in-one solution for extending high-value video sources and interactive control, it is an essential component for building modern, centralized, and highly flexible technical infrastructures.
