.edge is designed in a modular fashion. Each 19" / 2RU frame can be fitted with up to 4 x processing blades (fitted to the front) and 4 x I/O plates (fitted to the rear).

Key Facts

  • Frame size = 19" / 2RU. The frame is designed for indoor use and rack mounting.
  • Dual-redundant power supplies are included, either 2 x AC (as standard) or 2 x DC (as an optional extra).
  • Temperature-controlled cooling fans are included (as standard).
  • Each processing blade and rear I/O plate supports 48 x HD-BNC connectors for SDI interfacing. The number of available SDIs is license-dependent. 
  • A single frame can be fitted with up to 4 x processing blades + up to 4 x rear I/O plates = 192 x SDI at maximum capacity.
  • Each frame must be equipped at least with 1 x processing blade and 1 x rear I/O plate, and the other slots closed with blanking panels.
  • Each rear I/O plate provides 5 x HD-BNC connectors for external synchronization.
  • Each processing blade can sync to PTP (from the network), one of the two reference inputs (on the rear I/O plate) or internal sync (to free-run).

Components

Each frame has the following user-serviceable components:

  • 2 x power supplies: either AC or DC.
  • 1 x fan-tray: for temperature-controlled cooling.
  • 4 x processing blades: for conversion and processing.
  • 4 x rear I/O plates: for SDI and reference signal interfacing.

(E) WARNING

For safety reasons, and to ensure efficient cooling, .edge must not operate without a fully-closed frame. i.e. both PSU slots must be populated and any spare slots (at the front or rear) must be closed with blanking panels.


 (F) AVERTISSEMENT

Pour des raisons de sécurité et afin de garantir un refroidissement efficace, .edge ne doit pas être utilisé sans un cadre entièrement fermé, c'est-à-dire que les deux slots d'alimentation doivent être équipés et que tous les slots libres (avant et arrière) doivent être fermés par des plaques de protection.

Blanking Panels

Blanking panels can be ordered using the following part numbers:

  • .edge_frame_blind_plate_front - 1 x blanking panel for the front (processing blade) slots.
  • .edge_frame_blind_plate_rear - 1 x blanking panel for the rear (I/O plate) slots.

Ordering Information

.edge can be ordered as a single-frame or multi-frame package using the frame variants or bundles described later. See  .edge - Ordering Information.
