High-Performance EV Series Modular Architecture

The Evertz EV line of multicard frames—comprising the ev6-FR-1200W, ev3-FR, and ev1-FR—is built for demanding video routing, IP media gateway transport, master control, and high-density signal processing. Drawing on the success of Evertz’ industry-standard 7000 series, the EV platform accommodates larger processing card form factors with significantly higher power requirements. Modules install vertically across the 6RU chassis or horizontally in 3RU and 1RU variations, allowing broadcast engineers to mix and match processing cards into custom end-to-end signal chains.

High-Density Power and Thermal Management

Engineered specifically for high-throughput broadcast infrastructure, the EV series delivers substantial power distribution across all slots—supporting up to 70 watts per slot in the 6RU frame (1,200W total capacity) and up to 120 watts per slot in the 3RU and 1RU frames. Efficient cooling is maintained using front-to-rear (6RU) or front-to-side (3RU/1RU) airflow designs, keeping operational noise levels controlled (74 dBA for 6RU, 65 dBA for 3RU, and 53 dBA for 1RU at 3ft).

Mission-Critical Redundancy and Centralized Telemetry

Designed for continuous 24/7 production environments, EV series frames feature hot-swappable redundant power supplies and cooling fan units, allowing maintenance without interrupting active processing cards. Dual analog BNC reference inputs support two independent programmable timing planes per output for precise video synchronization. Controlled via frame controllers (ev6-FC, ev3-FC, or ev1-FC), the chassis provides true SNMP communication across local and wide area networks for centralized system monitoring and alarming.
