Ross Video is proud to introduce the new openGear DFR-8310 Multi-Definition Digital Products Frame.

The DFR-8310 is a 2RU modular frame, designed to accommodate up to 10 modules of our new openGear 8200 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 most applications which use BNC connectors, the DFR-8310 is available with a fixed 100-BNC rear I/O module. 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.

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.

Frame Loading Rules for openGear

Frame	Max Frame Load	Max Slot Load	Spacing
DFR-8310	40W	5W	1RU between frames
DFR-8310-C	150W	12W	Stacked

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.

Each power supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED, and a front-mounted power switch.

The frame comes standard with one PS-8300 power supply.

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.

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.

Additional Frame Accessories
For mobile installations, the CRB-8310 Card Retaining Bracket can be added. This bracket holds all modules firmly in place, eliminating module slippage during frame transport. To help reduce mechanical stress due to cable weight, a rear frame support bracket (FSB-8310) is also available.
