AJA Video has launched the DRM2-Plus, a high-capacity 3RU frame that can house up to 24 AJA Mini-Converters.
The mini-converter frame has been tailored to suit a range of proAV, film/TV production, live production, and broadcast environments, said the company.
It is available in four different models that support active or passive cooling and offer single or redundant power supplies for up to 288 watts of power. It also includes a hinged faceplate and individual carriers that allow users to easily access Mini-Converters for updates or to swap them in and out, without removing the frame from the rack.
The DRM2-Plus features also include:
- Flexible faceplate options, including an active faceplate with four fans for maximum cooling in higher ambient temperature installations, and a passive fanless option
- 3RU form-factor allows all AJA Mini-Converters to fit in the frame
- 12x modular “carrier” based Mini-Converter mounts
- 12x mounting slots for any AJA Mini-Converters
- Ability to add or remove Mini-Converters without taking the frame out of the rack
“Conversion remains a critical need in video workflows, including the transition to IP video and move toward higher resolution, high dynamic range production. With these shifts, many of our customers are looking for a simple way to organise and power all their AJA conversion tools, with the flexibility to swap them in and out,” shared AJA President Nick Rashby.
“The DRM2-Plus answers this need with exciting new mechanical and power improvements. We’ve also created a variety of options to meet users’ unique needs, including active cooling for higher ambient temperature environments, and redundant power supplies where more power and peace of mind are required.”
