The Algogear™ card is designed specifically for the openGear Multi-Definition Digital Frame.

1 Platform, 1 Interface, over 200 partner products

openGear is a non-proprietary, open platform designed by Ross Video that gives broadcasters the option to choose which products they want, in any combination they want, without the requirement or investment in multiple frame standards or control and monitoring systems.

openGear offers customers the choice of over 200 best-in-class products from over 20 of the world’s leading manufacturers of broadcast solutions including 9 high-end video processing solutions from Algolith. All openGear partner solutions are accessible through one easy-to-use unified Control and Monitoring system, the Dashboard Web interface. Remote access via Dashboard offers even further versatility. The 2RU openGear frame is available in both a 10-slot or a 20-slot configuration. This allows openGear to tie in with 3rd party SNMP based systems.

openGear 20-slot Frame

This new 2RU, 20 slot modular frame offers processing for high density applications in distribution and conversion for up to 20 openGear cards. The modular backplane allows the DFR-8321 to offer both a 10 BNC per module rear as well as a split 5 BNC per module rear for applications requiring high density 1 in by 4 out solutions. The DFR-8321 supports any mix of analog, digital, video and audio modules in the same frame making it a great addition to the award winning openGear family.

Modular Frame Architecture

The DFR-8321 offers the flexibility of independent rear modules for connectivity to a wide array of interfaces such as BNC, twisted-pair audio, and fiber. Customers can chose the traditional full rear modules or the new high density split rear modules that allow double the number of cards to be installed into the frame.

Robust Power Supplies

The DFR-8321 can accommodate two front-loaded PS-8300 power supplies. A single supply can fully power a loaded frame, the addition of a second (optional) supply gives the frame full power redundancy. Each power supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED, and a front-mounted power switch.

Cooling

The frame has been designed with an advanced cooling architecture with increased ventilation. The front-door mounted fans provide forced air cooling to all cards with front to back cooling. An intelligent fan controller adjusts fan speed with changes in power supply loading and temperature.

Control

The DFR-8321 offers optional Ethernet connectivity for Control and Monitoring via DashBoard and SNMP.
