Product Description
The Matrox ConvertIP DRS is a compact, stand-alone device that serves as both an ST 2110 and IPMX transmitter and receiver. It's a great fit for 1G AV workflows, offering an ultra-low latency experience. This device comes with 12G-SDI, genlock, and three RJ45 ports. It can be powered via Ethernet through its RJ45 connection or an optional power supply unit, and you can use both for power redundancy. It's rack mountable, allowing you to install up to two devices horizontally in a single U of rack space. It operates quietly, making it ideal for control rooms and other critical environments where noise levels need to be 25 dB or less. Matrox also offers rack-mounted, multi-output redundant power supply units to safeguard against power failures. Key features include SDI I/O, multi-network support, 3x RJ45 1G network support, a fanless design for quiet cooling, genlock support for house sync input, power redundancy through PoE+ and a locking AC power connector, an optional bracket for VESA mounting behind monitors, an optional 1 RU rack shelf for two appliances, and an optional fault-tolerant, hot-swappable, and rack-mountable power supply.
Using the Matrox ConvertIP DRS is straightforward. First, connect your 12G-SDI source to the appropriate SDI input. Then, use the RJ45 ports to establish your network connections for IP transmission. You can choose to power the device via Ethernet through the RJ45 connection or use the optional power supply unit. For added reliability, you can use both power sources at the same time. When it comes to rack mounting, you can install up to two devices horizontally in a single U of rack space. If you want to mount it behind a monitor, you can use the optional VESA mounting bracket. As for maintenance, since it has a fanless design, there are no fans to clean or replace. Just keep the device in a clean, well-ventilated area. In case of a power module failure or a circuit breaker trip, the redundant power supply options will help keep the device running. But it's a good idea to regularly check the power connections to make sure everything is secure. And if you're using the optional rack-mounted power supply unit, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper upkeep.
