Ross Video Delivers 20 Slot Frame Series To IBC2008

Ross Video will be showcasing the DFR-8320 series at this year's IBC.
Introduced during NAB2008, the 2RU, 20 slot modular frame offers processing for high density applications in distribution and conversion for up to 20 openGear cards.
Eric Goodmurphy, Marketing Product Manager at RossGear, said: "We are pleased to launch the DFR-8320, Ross' 2RU high density 20 slot frame series, at IBC2008.
"The modular backplane allows the DFR-8320 to offer both a 10BNC 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-8320 supports any mix of analogue, digital, video and audio modules in the same frame making it a great addition to the award-winning openGear family."
openGear is an open-architecture, 2RU modular frame system designed by Ross Video and supported by more than 17 different terminal equipment manufacturers.
openGear offers clients the freedom to choose the best technology from a wide range of manufacturers to meet the needs of a broadcast, production, or distribution facility while maintaining a compatible frame infrastructure.
The Ross DashBoard Remote Control and Monitoring System and companion SNMP plug-in enables unified control over all openGear cards in a system as well as allowing openGear to tie in with 3rd party SNMP based systems.
The openGear modules offered from Ross include a broad selection of audio and video products for distribution, analogue conversion, UP/Down/Cross format conversion, fiber, switching, keying and synchronisation, as well as a suite of solutions from the 8000 series available with the openGear adapter.
