Series 3000 The Series 3000 MiniModule product range is a complete modular system designed primarily for Broadcast and Professional applications and is ideal for facility expansion and any application where space is at a premium. Product range. We offer a complete range of stand-alone modules, from analog and digital distribution, A/D and D/A conversion, audio embedders and deembedders and even frame synchronizers. We have 28 MiniModules in the current line up and are adding more all the time. Intelligent modules. All modules have a microprocessor with internal flash ram storage. This allows for storage of module settings. Modules can be set with the integral local controls or using a service adapter that enables the modules to be easily configured with a standard PC and a windows GUI. Expansion. We offer a unique and well-engineered rack mounting system for our modules, which can accommodate 10 MiniModules. This is designed to mount in the rear of equipment racks and is 3 RU high and offers hinged access to the back of the rack. Modules simply lock in place. Available central and redundant power as well as remote control and status monitoring is available for the modules and rack system. Control. Our modules are the only ones offering remote control and status monitoring capability. When integrated into a rack system and using one of the LYNX controllers, we can control and monitor 800 modules fitted to 80 racks with one master controller. More master controllers can be added for further expansion. The control system is also fully compatible with the Series 5000 rack and card system, so both systems can co-exist in the same control system. Scalability. System granularity starts from one single stand-alone use module and expands upwards to over one hundred rack systems with central control. You buy what you want when you need it without risking any previous investments. Size. Despite the power and functionality these are some of the smallest modules available, and the smallest offering full broadcast quality. We use the latest digital and analog technology to achieve incredible packing density. An example is our frame synchronizer module which measures 86mm x 36mm x 39mm. All modules are lightweight, self-contained and consume very little power. Transition. Should your plans ever require moving from a module to Series 5000 card based solution, we can protect your investment. Simply strip the module down, fit the connector plate to the back of the Series 5000 rack, and take the internal module PCBs and plug them into a universal Series 5000 carrier board and slot the card into the rack. The only thing not used is the module metal case. Quality. Don’t be fooled by the size and the fact it’s a module, there is no compromise in performance (quality) whatsoever. MiniModules can provide full broadcast quality performance, and in most cases will equal and even out perform more expensive high-end card based solutions. Cost. Despite the additional flexibility and performance provided by the Series 3000 MiniModules, the price is extremely competitive. |
