Several years ago, Ross Video made a standard definition gear frame and line of terminal equipment products. We called this frame our 8000 Series and it was (is - we still make it) compatible with other industry products from companies like Harris (Leitch), Cobalt Digital and AJA. Given that the 8000 Series rear connector structure was fine for SD but not suitable for HD, we needed a new frame.
Becoming an openGear® partner and being able to create openGear® compatible cards is a straightforward process. Companies sign a simple license agreement with Ross Video which gives them access to the hardware and software specifications and the right to use the openGear® logos. Ross Video does not charge any royalties and there is a single annual $1,000 fee to cover some of the openGear® website and other general marketing costs.
DFR-8321 openGear® High Density Modular Frame The most flexible frame for all your terminal equipment needs. 2RU Frame The DFR-8321 is a 2RU modular frame designed to accommodate up to 20 cards from the openGear® family. Modular Rear I/O Modules Separate rear I/O modules are ordered with card modules offering a mix of BNC, fiber optic and other connections as required. These rear modules are quick and easy to install.
The DFR-8321 is a 2RU high density modular frame, designed to accommodate up to 20 openGear® cards. The 21st slot is reserved for network control. 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. The DFR-8321 offers a full rear module that offers 10 BNCs per module, or a high density split rear module that offers 5 BNCs per module.
DashBoard DashBoard Network Control and Monitoring The DashBoard Control and Monitoring System is a free application, available on the Ross Video website, designed for remote control and monitoring of the open architecture, openGear® platform. All openGear® solutions can be controlled using DashBoard without the need to upload custom GUIs or install proprietary software. DashBoard offers the ability to view multiple frames with full control and alarming of all populated slots inside a frame.
SNMP openGear supports SNMP offering an industry standard interface for system wide monitoring applications. ® SNMP is loaded direct to the frame eliminating the need for any external gateways and runs on a separate software port allowing for simultaneous control from both DashBoard and SNMP clients. This is useful in applications where system wide monitoring is performed using SNMP and real-time control is performed using DashBoard.
DashBoard DashBoard Server and User Rights and Management DashBoard Server allows the implementation of User Rights and Management to an openGear® network. Frames, cards and individual parameters can be restricted on a per user basis, providing safety and security to your openGear® network. The DashBoard server is designed to work with the DashBoard v4.0 client software and provides unmatched flexibility with its User Rights and Management Plug-in.
Rear Module Basics -R2 and -R2S (High Density) I/O Available Select openGear® cards support standard and high density rear I/O modules: The -R2 rear module occupies 2 slots in the DFR-8321 platform and supports 1 openGear® card. The -R2 rear module is used for solutions that require access to the full I/O connections. The -R2S rear module occupies 2 slots in the DFR-8321 platform and supports 2 openGear® cards. The -R2S rear module is used for solutions that require less I/O connections.
Frame Configuration Tool A simple new way to configure a Ross Video openGear® frame with Ross Video products and accessories. The Ross Video openGear® Frame Configuration Tool provides a simple way to configure a Ross Video openGear® frame with Ross Video products and accessories online. The tool provides a simple drag and drop interface with product descriptions, rear I/O images and block diagrams all available in one convenient tool.
