| The BroadPort 550 range of products provides an effective solution to monitoring and controlling a large number and wide range of serial based peripherals in a broadcast studio. An 8 and 16 port uPCI card with it's 1U 19" rack-mount interface provides RS-422 connections via 'Sony DB9' (SMPTE 207M) connectors. There is no need to add further adapters as you would with a standard IT product. A 16 port changeover unit allows rapid swapping of the peripherals from a duty server to standby server. BroadPort 550 uPCI CardThe universal PCI card (PCI and PCI-x) is developed from the popular RocketPort 550 and provides a low-cost serial expansion solution, delivering the highest performance and reliability through industry standard 16550 UART technology. Each of the ports exceed the speed requirements of the SMPTE 207M standard and can be set individually to DCE or DTE.BroadPort 550 InterfaceThe BroadPort 550 controller is connected to the 1U 19" passive rack interface via a SCSI cable (provided). The interface is ideal for where rack space is limited; it is only 50mm deep. DB9 female connectors allow easy attachment of broadcast standard peripherals. | |
