The Evertz 7700FR-C is a professional 3-rack-unit (3RU) modular chassis designed to house and power a variety of signal processing cards within the Evertz 7700 series platform. It serves as a scalable and flexible foundation for building broadcast-quality video, audio, and data processing systems for applications such as master control, production, distribution, and monitoring. The chassis is engineered for high-density, high-availability operation in mission-critical broadcast centers, cable headends, and similar facilities where reliability, redundancy, and serviceability are paramount. Its robust metal construction includes redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans to ensure continuous 24/7 operation and minimize the risk of system downtime.

The modular design of the 7700FR-C allows system integrators to populate its multiple card slots with a wide selection of specialized Evertz modules, including encoders, decoders, multiplexers, modulators, IP gateways, and monitoring cards. This enables the creation of a customized processing system tailored to specific workflows, such as channel playout, satellite uplink/downlink, or quality assurance. The chassis features a high-speed backplane that facilitates low-latency communication and data transfer between the installed modules. Comprehensive status indicators and remote management capabilities via Ethernet allow for centralized monitoring and control of the entire frame and its individual cards.

As a key component of Evertz's modular infrastructure, the 7700FR-C provides the physical and electrical backbone for reliable, professional-grade signal processing. Its emphasis on redundancy, efficient cooling, and ease of service makes it suitable for building systems that must operate flawlessly around the clock. By offering a standardized, expandable platform, it enables broadcasters and content distributors to adapt and scale their technical infrastructure to meet evolving standards and channel counts without replacing the core chassis, protecting their investment and ensuring long-term operational stability.
