The fiber optic transport system for openGear platform provides unprecedented flexibility in how handle SDI signal transport. Capable of handling SDI rates from 5Mbps all the way up to 3Gbps uncompressed, these cards will automatically detect the incoming signal and give full control over re-clocking and routing. The table, below, shows the 5 different card sets available in the HD-4000 line. With each module get the same control features that are available both on the front card edge (via dip switches) or through the openGear Dash-Board software. But the true power of the 4000-series is the ability to daisy chain up to five cards to create an 18CH CWDM mux that is ideal for high-density signal trunking. The HD-4000’s also incorporate an integrated cross-point matrix that allows not only the ability to assign a given input signal to one or more outputs, but also to enable and disable outputs should the need arise. There's also an automatic fail-over mode that, when selected, will switch to another input should the signal in the first input somehow fail. Embedded audio is fully supported. All outputs are non-inverting and ASI capable. The cost effective way to move all of HD signals along with the convenience of a built-in switcher, remote monitoring and automatic fail-over protection switching.
