The Algogear™ series cards are designed specifically for the openGear Multi-Definition Digital Frame. The DFR-8310-N openGear frame which is equipped with TCP/IP networking and cooling fans is the required configuration for the Algogear series cards. The openGear frame offers broadcast professionals the ability to utilize SD and HD video processing cards from the Algogear series, as well as from additional openGear compatible manufacturers, in the same frame without having to invest in multiple frame standards.

The DFR-8310 blends the simplicity of a fixed rear connector frame and the flexibility of independent rear modules. For most applications which use BNC connectors, the frame is available with a fixed 100-BNC rear I/O module (DFR-8310-N-BNC). This frame configuration allows any openGear module using BNC connectors to be installed into any slot. Unused slots can be pre-wired into a facility, and installation of card modules can be done at any time without accessing the rear of the frame. For applications where other types of I/O connections are necessary (such as twisted-pair audio or fibre interfaces), the frame also supports slot-dependent rear I/O modules. Rear modules can be ordered with card modules, and are quick and easy to install.
