1. OVERVIEW
The EMX series frames are designed to house the EMR series router, the EMC master controller and
other high-density system products. This advanced rack frame design comes in three sizes. The EMX1-
FR occupies 1RU rack space and can house up to 2 single-slot modules. The EMX3-FR occupies 3RU
rack space and can house up to 5 single-slot modules of any combination of the EMR and EMC products.
The EMX6-FR occupies 6RU rack space and can house up to 15 single-slot modules of the same
products.
Special care was taken during the design process to ensure that the EMX1-FR, EMX3-FR and EMX6-FR
frames meet the demanding needs of television studios today and have the sufficient flexibility to satisfy
the emerging demands of the future. The EMX1-FR, EMX3-FR and EMX6-FR frames are designed with a
high density capacity to conserve on precious equipment rack space. Care has been taken to ensure
sufficient thermal relief for up to 140 W (EMX1-FR), up to 360 W (EMX3-FR) and 650 W (EMX6-FR) of
processing power per frame, to meet the increasing power demands of future high speed processing
cards. Hot swappable redundant switching power supplies and cooling fans allow power supply or fan
replacement without compromising the integrity of critical signal paths. The EMX1-FR, EMX3-FR and
EMX6-FR frames are available with auto ranging 100-240 VAC power supplies. The front loading design
permits extraction of the power supplies and active modules from the front without compromising
performance even at 3.0Gb/s. Thus, there is no need for time consuming re-cabling nor is there need to
have access to the rear of the frame to replace or exchange modules.
The EMX1-FR, EMX3-FR and EMX6-FR frames can both accommodate a main and redundant frame
controller (EMX-FC) to provide reference, Ethernet control and serial control for certain applications.
Features:
•Houses up to 2 (EMX1-FR), 5 (EMX3-FR) or 15 (EMX6-FR) single-slot processing modules
•Each slot has individually configurable inputs and outputs
•Front extractable modules, power supplies and fans
•Auto-ranging power supply that operates from 100-240VAC at 50/60 Hz
•Power supply and frame cooling fans are fully redundant and hot-swappable
•High-speed busing and control system provided for modular applications
•Slots available for main and redundant EMX-FC frame controllers, in EMX3-FR and EMX6-FR
•140 W (EMX1-FR), 360 W (EMX3-FR) or 650 W (EMX6-FR) power supplies and cooling to support
EMR and EMC modules
•Two BNCs for connecting two separate genlock references for modules equipped to take a frame
reference input
