While many of AJA’s openGear cards are energy-efficient, the high-density nature of rackmount cards can generate heat in a small space. Integrated fans in the OG-X-FR keep internal components operating at acceptable temperatures, leading to improved reliability and longer card life.
OG-X-FR offers more power and cooling for the most demanding UltraHD, 12G SDI & IP workloads.
OG-X-FR accommodates 2 front-loaded, hot-swappable power supplies. Each power supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED, and a front mounted power switch.
- Total system power of 600W
- New high power mode allowing 23W per slot
OG-X-FR ships with a power supply included. When seeking redundancy for extra security in critical environments, order an additional OG-X-PS from your reseller.
A fold-down front panel provides you quick access to any of the installed cards for easy maintenance or replacement without having to remove the rack frame or climb behind the rack.
Flexible I/O
The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).
Failsafe
The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.
Ethernet Access
A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.
