The 500FR is a 3-rack-unit-high rack frame for the 500 series exponent modular system. This advanced rack frame design can house up to 16 of the 500 series distribution, conversion, and processing modules in any combination. Special care was taken during the design process to ensure that the 500FR meets the demanding needs of television studios today and has sufficient flexibility to satisfy the emerging demands of the future.
The 500FR is designed with a high-density capacity to conserve on precious equipment rack space. Care has been taken to ensure sufficient thermal relief for up to 120 watts of processing power per frame, to meet the increasing power demands of future high-speed processing cards.
Hot swappable redundant switching power supplies and cooling fans allow power supply or fan replacement without compromising the integrity of critical signal paths. The front-loading design permits extraction of the power supplies and active modules from the front without compromising performance, even at 1.5Gb/s. Thus, there is no need for time-consuming re-cabling, nor is there a need to have access to the rear of the frame to replace or exchange modules. The 500FR frame is designed to ensure adequate cooling for up to 120 watts of processing power per frame. Fans at the front and rear of each power supply module accomplish forced air cooling. Adjacent equipment may be mounted immediately to the top and bottom of the 500FR frame. Additional module cooling is provided by interior cooling channels to ensure that even fully loaded frames mounted adjacent to each other will operate within the normal temperature range.
