Ross Video will announce its new concept in terminal equipment for broadcasting. openGear is an open rack based on the modular backplane standard type 2RU, which can house up to 10 card modules of any type. Available to a selection of openGear partner manufacturers, openGear modules allow customers the flexibility to choose the best module for each application. Thus, they will no longer have to be required to the rack standard or modules of a particular manufacturer, for their terminal equipment solutions.
A strong offering of RossGear SD terminal equipment is enhanced by the redesign of the ADC-8032B decoder, which offers users high-quality decoding at an economical price. RossGear also features a wide range of video and analog audio solutions, including new timecode distribution and audio monitoring offerings.
