When applications for routing, high performance productions or high density processing are required, Evertz offers our Dragon Fire Double Density (DF-DD) line of multicard frames. Following in the footsteps of tens of thousands of award-winning EMX series multiframes, Evertz developed the DF series to allow cards with significantly larger individual size and power consumption to be matched in a multipurpose frame. All double density cards in this series of frames occupy the full vertical height of the 10RU frame, or can be installed horizontally in the 1RU variations. Cards can be mixed and matched within each frame to build complex signal processing chains.
Products offered include video routing and audio routing, IP media gateways, IP routing and bulk processing.
Additionally, all frames offer hot-swappable N+1 dual redundant power supplies that allow for power supply and fan replacement without compromising the integrity of critical signal paths and true remote monitoring of all modules and signals within the chassis from MAGNUM-NMS. This configuration provides the SNMP network communication interface from MAGNUM-NMS to the chassis over the local or wide area network.
Features
- Standard rack mountable
- Up to 9 cards in any configuration
- Front-to-rear (DF9-DD), front-to-side (DF1-DD) exhaust
- Up to 750 watts per slot
