By rssfeeds-admin Building on the design of the AJA DRM2 introduced at InterBEE 2023, DRM2-Plus includes a hinged faceplate and individual carriers that allow users to easily access Mini-Converters for updates or to swap them in and out, without removing the frame from the rack.
AJA says the added interior space and an optional DRM2-YC Y-cable accessory “enable the double-stacking of 12 smaller AJA FiDO and/or D5 Series Mini-Converters with Mini-Con-X power connectors to support up to 24 Mini-Converters in a single frame. DRM2-Plus’ versatile design also allows users to rackmount up to 12 mid-size AJA Mini-Converters with built-in Mini-Con-X power connectors, or six larger AJA Mini-Converters featuring the DANTE-12GAM’s new enclosure design, which includes an LCD display and a Mini-XLR power connector. Users can combine a mix of Mini-Con-X- and Mini-XLR-powered AJA Mini-Converters within the DRM2-Plus using AJA adapter accessories. DRM2-Plus also introduces the ability to internally mount a third-party USB hub for communication to installed Mini-Converters. The DRM2-Plus and applicable accessories replace the previous DRM2 products.”
“Conversion remains a critical need in video workflows, including the transition to IP video and move toward higher resolution, high dynamic range production. With these shifts, many of our customers are looking for a simple way to organize and power all their AJA conversion tools, with the flexibility to swap them in and out,” said AJA President Nick Rashby. “The DRM2-Plus answers this need with exciting new mechanical and power improvements. We’ve also created a variety of options to meet users’ unique needs, including active cooling for higher ambient temperature environments, and redundant power supplies where more power and peace of mind are required.”
DRM2-Plus feature highlights:
- Redundant power supply frame can hold two 288W power supplies
- Hinged faceplate makes Mini-Converter access easy for software updates and re-configuration needs
- Flexible faceplate options, including an active faceplate with four fans for maximum cooling in higher ambient temperature installations, and a passive fanless option
- 3RU form-factor allows all AJA Mini-Converters to fit in the frame
- 12x modular “carrier” based Mini-Converter mounts are rugged, simple to use, and easily accessible from the front or rear of the frame
- 12x mounting slots for any AJA Mini-Converters
- Ability to add or remove Mini-Converters without taking the frame out of the rack
- The standard DRM2-Plus harness provides 13 Mini-Con-X power connectors for 12 Mini-Converters and one reserved for the active faceplate power, while the “next-gen” harness, provides 7 power connectors, including 6 Mini-XLR connectors and 1 Mini-Con-X connector for the active faceplate
- Up to 24x smaller AJA Mini-Converters can be installed (FiDO, HA5-Plus, Hi5-Plus, HA5-Fiber, Hi5-Fiber, HD5DA, V2-Analog, and V2-Digital), 2x per carrier in the DRM2-Plus with the optional DRM2-YC Y-cable
- Available adapter accessories can combine Mini-Con-X and Mini-XLR powered devices
