4U high chassis for different project requirements

Your project can be accommodated to a 4U high device to serve the custom project requirements. Robust mechanics and logical interface design guarantee easy installation and operation. The chassis offers:

Custom design, custom manufactured, made of steel to serve robust mission critical projects

Regulated fans with very low noise level for long terms and stable operation

Dual, redundant, hot swappable power supply option

Frame design optimized for the best cooling and easy board exchange

Immediate, remote check and supervision of device health

You can supervise and check visually the health of the remote chassis by the help of the remote Web based user interface. Continuous health service for supervision of fan rotation, external power supplies, internal power supplies and internal temperature of boards/chassis are possible. The status of these parameters is permanently displayed over the remote user interface while user can check all the status information in detail. The status of these parameters is saved to special log files also.

Highly redundant power connections

The chassis contains internal power supplies supporting all of the international mains electricity standards from 90V up to 265V. The optional second redundant power supplies give high reliability as they are:

• Fully redundant, sharing the system load among the units
• Hot swappable, so they can be exchanged during full operation
• Provide altogether 2 units for the 4U chassis
The system operation can be switched on and switched off by the mains switch on the front of the chassis.

Front LED and push buttons for setup and supervise the first steps

The front panel LED displays status information for setup and control. There are push buttons for navigation and control inside the setup to handle setting up of basic configuration information

• Setting of DHCP or fixed IP address and additional LAN parameters
• Function assignment of signal driving push buttons
• Setting of RS232C signals’ connection parameters
• OSD display settings
• Factory reset setting

Front panel push buttons for quick layout management

There is a set of push buttons for input signal and a separate set for output signal management. They can work for multiple purposes:

• The input buttons can select a certain input signal to be displayed on a certain output channel identified by the output button. This can be used for signal display one-by-one, usually for testing.
• The user can generate layouts and can assign them to push buttons. In this case the push of a certain button recalls the pre-designed layout on a rather straightforward way.

Disable of push button operation to prevent unauthorized access

Front panel push button operation can be disabled using a special system setting. In this case user can prevent un-authorized user action from the front panels and so improve system responsibility.

Easy connection to the world by interface connectors

The DMX101 products contain different control interfaces for the easy local or remote control

1 x DVI output connector to display local monitor for system setup and control

Different signal colour formats at your finger tips

The DMX101 devices automatically support different colour spaces as
• RGB 8
• YUV 4:4:4 or
• YUV 4:2:2

Universal L,R audio handling at the input ports & Universal audio handling at the output ports

The 4 x Phoenix connectors handle base line L, R analogue audio signals. The audio connectors have 2 roles depending on user interface setting
• Input of base line, L, R analogue audio signal for internal matrix switch and output audio generation
• Output of audio signal de-embedded from the corresponding HDMI or HDBaseT or SDI input channel

The output signals contain embedded audio where the independent audio matrix can assign audio of any input channels to be embedded. Additionally the 4 x Phoenix connectors handle base line L, R analogue audio output signals for the direct connection to external processing equipment.

So no external audio handling needed as de-embedding, embedding and analogue input audio processing is performed also.

New concept of sections to handle multiple users and services

The DMX101 family introduces the new concept of section. Each of the sections may have assigned input signals to handle, outputs to control and users with different access rights. The hierarchical user right system ensures user access and control to selected sections and so selected inputs and outputs only. The world class DMX101 products provide free setup for the administrator to
• define sections and name them
• assign specific input channels
• assign selected out channel
• define operation mode as presentation matrix, routing matrix or video processor
• assign users
• assign different rights for each user
Rather sophisticated architectures and operation modes can be designed and performed with these new tools.

The right number of input and output signals assigned to the users

The users of different sections may share input signals but have a distinct set of output signals to manage. The channel numbers can be set one-by-one and no restriction to map the 4-channels capability of the input and out boards.

Real time signal handling for perfect customer satisfaction

The DMX101 products perform all operations in real time. No drop of frames, no black frames or transitions can be experienced.

Remote preview of input signals for the total management of the system
The graphics user interface has the built-in option to display stamp sized preview of multiple input signals. This live preview makes possible the check the input signal validity and content by the operator continuously. Great chance to have the total overview what is happening and what must be displayed. This is a remote preview so the operator can see remotely without any direct access to any of the inputs.

Remote preview of output content for full supervision

The graphics user interface has the built-in option to display stamp sized preview of multiple output signals. This live preview makes possible to check the output signal validity and content by the operator continuously. Great chance to have the total overview what is happening and what is be displayed at a given moment. This is a remote preview so the operator can see remotely without any direct access to any of the output signals.

Professional HDCP handling
