KEY FEATURES From single- and multi-unction modular products to an Ethernet-based control system or conguring and operating modules across racks and acilities, Grass Valley ™ oers a ull range osignal-processing products, whatever the application. A key component oour modular product range is the GeckoFle x ™ rame, which is designed or small production settings, mobile environments, and proessional audio video applications. The GeckoFlex system is a fexible, cost-eectiv e modular system built around a compact robust 2 RU rame. It can be used to build inrastructures that can handle the complete range omodern broadcast signals with just one enclosure type. The rame supports everything rom audio to video signals, standard- to high-denition (SD to HD) ormats, and copper to ber inrastructures. Highly Serviceable The GeckoFlex system is also the most serviceable system available. Its modules, dual power supplies, ans, network interace card and reerence distribution circuits can all be swapped out rom the ront othe rame. In act, not only are the net work interace cards swappable, but the IP address and the rame’ s identity remain with t he rame, not the card. Because HD modules and most other modules provide industry-standard SNMP monitoring osignal ormats and conditions—as well as the module’s operation, identication, and status— you can easily integrate a GeckoFlex rame into broadcast and IT monitoring schemes with an optional network interace card. Reerence Distribution Buses The dual reerence distribution buses othe G eck oFlex rame allow you to share reerence signals within the rame (Figure 1). Unlike conventional systems, the reerence inputs are still available on individual cards and you can swap out reerence circuits rom the ront othe rame to ser vice them. The distributed reerence can accept bi-level, tri-level, and AES audio sync inputs and eed all modules requiring a similar reerence—saving on additional analog video distribution modules, rames, and the power dissipation associated with an old-ashioned reerence system. 2 RU, 10-slot high-density modular •rame with exchangeable rear panels Powerul an cooling option that can •be serviced rom the rame ront Optional hot-swappable network •card with Ethernet and RS-232 connections enables station-wide monitoring and conguration Frame remembers its own IP address •and name so that network cards need no conguration ater swapping Hot-swappable modules •Hot-swappable, dual-redundant •power supplies Dual internal reerence distribution •buses with module-level choices between bus 1, bus 2, and local (where tted) 8900NET card provides Ethernet •interace, any-browser conguration, and SNMP monitoring Any-browser conguration makes •setup easy rom all common Web browsers Supports Web browser, NetCentral •™ monitoring, Newton ™ control, and NetCong ™ conguration sotware Supports all currently shipping Gecko •(8900) signal-processing modules by using suitable rear panels
