OpenGear Frame

The DFR-8321-C-P OpenGear Frame from Blackmagic Design is a 21-slot, open-standards chassis that can be mounted in a rack for conversion and processing work. The chassis accepts different modules to enhance its functionality, allowing the solution to be expanded or scaled at will. Blackmagic converters compatible with this frame each take two of the available slots, so a total of ten converters, such as the SDI Distribution Converter, can be fit into the frame.

This model contains cooling fans, one power supply, and built-in basic networking capabilities. One of the twenty-one slots is dedicated for the optional MFC-8320-N-P or MFC-8320-NS-P network controller cards. There is also an extra slot where a redundant PS-8300 power supply can be added.

The basic networking feature only allows setup and configuration within the frame. Many applications may require the MFC-8320-N-P network controller card for operation. Basic networking only allows one DashBoard application connection at a time.

DataSafe, slot renaming, and SNMP are not supported on this model. It is also not possible to upload perimeters from a file or any other cards.
