Modular Video Processing System
■ The units are ruggedly constructed to
endure studio rackmount, production van
and OB mobile applications.
■ "Hot Swappable" front card loading allows
power-on removal/insertion of individual
processing modules without disturbing
others in the system. All cabling remains
in place while you service any module.
■ Intelligent “centerplane" provides power,
sync, timing and data distribution, facili-
tating expansion to more complex, more
cost-effective signal processing functions.
■ DC operation is optionally available, as is
a redundant supply with automatic
switchover. Dual exhaust fans maintain
proper airflow and cooling.

Broad, Comprehensive Module Range
With a wide range of modules, StudioFrame provides the most com-
prehensive signal processing system available.
Two Chassis Types
Based on two rackmount frame models (the SF-3 and SF-1), up to
fourteen front-loading, slide-in processor modules and fourteen rear
mounted passive interface cards can be configured in a single chassis.
Module control is provided through either direct front panel access
or an optional, networkable remote interface.
Unconstrained Module Mix
Without constraint, combine any mix of digital or analog
composite/component video and audio in one frame.
Hot Swappable Design
“Hot Swappable” circuit cards allow power-on module insertion and
removal. For mission critical environments, a redundant power sup-
ply can also be incorporated.
Networkable Remote Control
StudioFrame architecture offers the centralized control capability so
critical to the coordination of multiple simultaneous projects.
Redundant Power Supply Option
All components benefit from redundant load-sharing power supplies
in the SF-1/SF-3 chassis to maintain continuous operation. Each
power supply can be connected to independent power sources or
UPS systems to guarantee meeting the most pressing deadlines.
StudioFrame Modular Signal Processing Product Family
SF-1/SF-3 Studio Frame Chassis
The SF-3 is a 14-slot, 3RU chassis while the SF-1 is a 4-slot 1RU chassis. Designed to meet the most stringent broad-
cast requirements, they are backed by a two year warranty with guaranteed 24-hour turnaround service.

Designed to accommodate the video and audio interfacing require-
ments of today and tomorrow, the StudioFrame is one of the most
comprehensive signal processing systems available today.
A modular system, StudioFrame offers an efficient way to combine
a wide variety of individual function (or processor) boards such as
A-D and D-A Converters, Encoders and Decoders, and
Synchronizers into more complex function groups, all in one equip-
ment mainframe.
StudioFrame can be configured to accomplish a variety of ultra-
transparent signal conversion/processing functions, and the scalable
nature of its 10-bit architecture allows it to be easily reconfigured
and/or upgraded. Based on two rackmount frame models , up to fourteen modules can be accommodated in a single
■ Universal 110 or 240v AC 50/60 cycle
power supply.
