The most flexible frame for all your standard and high-definition
terminal equipment.
The DFR-8310 is a 2RU modular frame, designed to accommodate up
to 10 modules of our openGear Multi-Definition product family.
MODULAR FRAME ARCHITECTURE
The DFR-8310 blends the simplicity of a fixed rear connector frame and the flexibility
of independent rear modules.
For applications which use BNC connectors, the DFR-8310 is available with preloaded
10-BNC rear modules. This frame configuration allows any openGear module using BNC
connectors to be installed into any slot, without restrictions. Installation of separate rear
modules is not required. Unused slots can be pre-wired into a facility, and installation of
card modules can be done at any time without accessing the rear of the frame.
Frames & Accessories
For applications where other types of I/O connections are necessary (such as twisted-pair
audio or fibre interfaces), the frame also supports slot-dependent rear I/O modules. Rear
modules can be ordered with card modules, and are quick and easy to install.
• Can house any mix of analog,
digital, video and audio modules
in the same frame
• Available with preloaded 10-BNC rear modules,
or modular I/O panels for connector flexibility
• Heavy-duty hinged front door panel lowers
to allow easy card insertion
• Durable powder-coat paint finish
• Aluminum construction reduces overall weight
• Two independent looping Reference Inputs
feed all module slots
• SMPTE alarm interface for simple monitoring
• Robust 150 watt power supply with
integral cooling fan
• Optional redundant power supply is
hot-swappable for 24 / 7 operation
• Power switch is accessible from the front
of the rack frame
• Power supplies are replaceable from the front
of the frame without requiring rear-frame access
• Separate power cords to each supply for
power feed redundancy
• PowerLock cord retainer mechanism guards
against accidental power loss
ROBUST POWER SUPPLIES
The DFR-8310 frame can accommodate two front-loaded PS-8300 power supplies.
Although a single supply can fully power a loaded frame, the addition of a second (optional)
supply gives the frame full power redundancy. Each supply is fed by a separate power cord,
which is held in position to guard against accidental power loss.
• Optional Cooling Fan Module for increased
ventilation and enhanced reliability
Each power supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED, and a
front-mounted power switch.
• Optional Ethernet based frame controller
for remote setup, monitoring, and control
The frame comes standard with one PS-8300 power supply.
• 5-year transferable warranty
• Fan Fail and Error Indicator LEDs on front
of the frame (available with optional
Cooling Fan Module)

Ordering
OPTIONAL COOLING FANS
The frame has been designed with an advanced cooling architecture to increase ventilation.
For applications where the total module load is less than 40 watts, the DFR-8310 can be
used without cooling fans. Frames should be mounted with 1RU empty space between
frames.
2RU, 10 Card Slot,
Single Power Supply
For applications where frames are mounted directly above or below other equipment, or
where the total module power load is greater than 40 watts, an optional cooling fan kit can
be added. These front-door mounted fans provide forced air cooling for all modules, and
additional cooling for the power supplies. An intelligent fan controller adjusts fan speed with
changes in frame power loading or temperature. Particular attention has been paid to frame
acoustics in order to keep fan noise to a minimum.

DashBoard
Features
DashBoard Network Control & Monitoring
• Remote Control and
Monitoring
The DashBoard Control and Monitoring System is a free application, available on the
Ross Video website, designed for remote control and monitoring of the open architecture,
openGear platform by Ross Video.
• Java based application
Designed from the ground up with TCP / IP connectivity and based on Java, DashBoard
is designed to meet the needs of the broadcast industry with the ability to add feature
plug-ins allowing end-users to customize the application to meet their needs at a price
that fits their budget.
DashBoard is the only application that allows full and complete native control to multiple
vendors. All openGear compatible solutions from any of the openGear partners can be
controlled using DashBoard without the need to upload custom GUI’s or install propriety
software.
DashBoard offers the ability to view multiple frames with full control and alarming of all
populated slots inside a frame. This simplifies the setup of numerous devices in a large
installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. The openGear devices define their
controllable parameters and layout to DashBoard, so the control interface is always up to
date.
• Automatic discovery of frames and devices
• Practical real time control
• Alarm reporting
• Multiple frames on a single control network
• Multiple DashBoard applications on a
single control network
• TCP / IP based communication
• In-field upgradeability of devices
• Multi-vendor control system
Alarms raised by devices in the frame bubble up to the upper most level making it quick
and easy to identify potential failures or problems at the frame level.
openGear frames are automatically discovered and are available in the TreeView where
they can be custom identified, collapsed to view just the frame or opened to view available
devices in the frame.
Control & Monitoring
Device control and monitoring is simple and easy. Ross Video GUI’s give a quick summary
view window that displays the current state of the device, such as input and reference
presences, output standard, etc. Control is simplified with multiple catagories that group
common parameters such as Timing Control, Output Configuration, Proc Control and Alarm
Configuration. DashBoard also offers the ability to upgrade software on devices in the field
without the need to replace any on-board components. Software upgrades are available
from the Ross Tech Support Center.
DataSafe
Features
DataSafe dramatically reduces downtime when failed modules are swapped out. All module
parameters are stored on the local frame network card and automatically restored when a
hot swap is performed.
DataSafe also simplifies the setup of numerous identical modules by allowing the
configuration of one device to be uploaded and distributed to other identical devices.
• All parameters stored locally
on network card
• Upload configurations to multiple cards
page 11
DashBoard allows for multiple control windows to be active and available on one screen
which is useful when a functional path involves more than a single device.
Device selection tabs make it easy to quickly select the device for control. Layout
configurations can be saved and recalled using the Save / Recall Layout feature.

dragged and dropped into the folder to represent logical system functionals. Alarming of
devices follow with the logical views making identification of critical issues easy
to isolate and identify.
SNMP
Features
openGear supports SNMP offering an industry standard interface for facility wide
monitoring applications.
SNMP is loaded direct to the frame eliminating the need for any external gateways
and runs on a separate software port allowing for simultaneous control from both
DashBoard and SNMP clients. This is useful in applications where system wide monitoring
is performed using SNMP and real time control is performed using DashBoard.

A special feature of the DRA-8204 is the ability to operate in
a number of different two or one channel modes. By simply
changing a jumper, the DRA-8204 can be configured as a
single channel 1:8, a dual channel 1:4 + 1:4, or a dual channel
1:6 + 1:2 distribution amplifier. This unique feature makes
adapting the DRA-8204 to different installations quite easy.
Each channel is fully independent, and can run at different
data rates.

SFS-8221
Features
MD-SDI Frame Synchronizer
Video frame synchronizer for all standard and high-definition SDI signals.
The SFS-8221 is a multi-definition SDI frame synchronizer designed for re-timing
applications in both standard and high-definition environments.
• Handles all popular
formats of SD (270Mb/s)
and HD (1.485Gb/s) signals
• Automatically detects the incoming video format
The SFS-8221 supports all popular standard-definition and high-definition video formats
including 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i. The format of incoming video is automatically detected,
simplifying system setup.
The SFS-8221 accepts an SDI signal of either standard-definition (270Mb/s) or
high-definition (1.485Gb/s), automatically equalizing for cable loss and providing a
reclocked SDI output. The video is then synchronized to either a frame-wide reference or a
local reference. A delay mode is also available for adding fixed delay to the incoming video.
openGear frames support a distributed frame reference, allowing a single incoming
reference sync signal to feed timing information to all modules in a frame. Thus, a
single composite or tri-level sync signal can be used for multiple frame synchronizers.
Alternatively, each frame synchronizer accepts an additional local reference signal to
provide additional system timing flexibility.
Ancillary data (VANC) is protected, and is passed from input to output, ensuring data
is not lost during the frame sync operation.
Proc Amp and full timing controls are provided.
• Re-times incoming video to a local or
frame-wide reference signal
• Delay mode to solve system timing problems
• Cleanly handles hot switching on the input
• Provides up to 105 frames in SD, 18 frames
in 1080i/30,14 frames in 1080i/25

• NTSC / PAL monitoring output with Heads-Up
Display menu system
• 1 reclocked and 2 processed SDI outputs
for each video channel
• 5-year transferable warranty
• Power: 10.5 watts
Heads-Up Display
To make configuration
easier, the SFS Frame
Synchronizer offers a unique
Heads-Up Display on a
separate NTSC / PAL
monitoring output. When
activated, card status and
parameters can be viewed
and adjusted using the
card-mounted finger joystick
and an easy to use menu
system.

MDK-111A-K
HD / SD Quad Logo Inserter
Features
Four independent input /output streams with one dedicated
logo inserter per stream.
• 4 HD / SD inputs / outputs
Applications
• Animated Channel Branding Inserter
• Rating Inserter
• Downstream Bug Inserter
• Trouble Slide Inserter
• Branding / Sponsorship Keyer for Stadiums
• 4 internal animation keyers,
one per stream
The MDK-111A-K is an advanced high density 4 channel quad logo inserter providing
cost effective channel branding. Each of the four input streams can independently have
an animated logo inserted. For example, the MDK-111A-K can take four different input
streams, key a logo on each of the streams, outputting four streams each with their
own unique branding. Each stream has complete independent transition control over
the logo insertion. The internal key sources can be any size up to full-frame and
can be positioned anywhere on screen. This makes the insertion of trouble slides, content
rating bugs, and station id logo’s simple and very cost effective.
• Cost-effective branding
