9400 Series SDI/Fiber Multi-Channel Transports with I/O Crosspoints

The 9400-series SDI/Fiber transport cards provide a card-based solution for high-density distribution and multiplexing between discrete SDI signals and fiber buses. Utilizing the openGear® open-architecture platform, the 9400-series offers scalable incorporation and the easy-to use DashBoard™ setup and control operator interface.

The 9400-series cards offer I/O crosspoints, allowing easy to configure and flexible routing between card inputs and outputs. Up to 10 of any 9400-series cards can be installed in our 8321 frame, offering support for up to 40 BNC input/outputs and 40 fiber input/outputs in a single frame. In addition to SD/HD-SDI support, the cards support a wide range of signals/standards from 5 Mb/s to 3Gb/s. The scalability of the 9400-series offers a high degree of flexibility and density, maximizing economy of both space and costs. Full user remote and card-edge monitor/control allows full card status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.
