$1 Multi-Def Conversion Frame - Fixed Rear S4MDX-024-BNC
(DFR-8310, Includes One Power Supply)
Multi-Def Conversion Frame – Fixed Rear S4MDX-024-C-BNC
(As Above with Cooling Fan Unit in Door)
Note
The following description applies to all four of the above-mentioned
Multi-Def Conversion Frames.
All switcher inputs and outputs are 10 bit, 4:2:2 serial digital in HD and SD formats.
Signal sources of other video formats must be converted to serial digital. Ross Video chose
to do this conversion externally to ensure that the very latest conversion technology and
most competitive pricing are available to our customers. An added bonus of external
conversion is the ability to use those converters elsewhere in your facility as you eventually
upgrade your switcher sources to serial digital.
Ross Video is known as a world-class supplier of encoders, decoders, A-Ds, and D-As. In
order to encourage you to purchase your entire system from Ross, sets of conversion rack
frames and power supplies can be purchased for the nominal price of $1 US each (cooling
fan unit extra) according to the following conditions:
• The order for conversion frames is made at the same time as the order for the switcher.
• The number of frames covered is equal to the number of converters ordered, divided
by 10, with all fractions rounded up (i.e. 1 converter = 1 frame, 9 converters = 1 frame,
15 converters = 2 frames, etc.).
Note
Contact your Ross representative for a listing of available Multi-
Definition RossGear™ and GearLite™ products.
If your system requires power redundancy don’t forget to order an additional power
supply per conversion rack frame (PS-8300). These additional power supplies are not
included in the $1 offer.
