MFR-8000 - PRODUCTS

The MFR-8000 builds on the functions and control interfaces of MFR-5000 specifications to offer an expanded matrix of up to 256 inputs/256 outputs in a 16RU frame. Expand your 4K/8K routing freedom with 12G-SDI^＊1I/O and gearbox support^＊2 offering the most inputs and outputs. Furthermore, it can be used as a large-scale routing system by linking multiple units. The versatile core system component support RS-422 interface routing, tally connections with peripherals (such as video switchers or multi viewers), auto source name tracking, and much more.

*1 For MFR-8000 matrices, only up to 3G-SDI is supported. An input card compatible with conversion from 12G to 3G for 12G-SDI input and an output card compatible with conversion from 3G to 12G for 12G-SDI output are necessary.
*2 Gearbox is the function to interconvert Quad Link 3G-SDI/12G-SDI and 2SI/SQD. See "Gearbox Support" for details.

Features

Multi-Format Video Input and Output Support

12G-SDI^＊, 3G-SDI(Level-A/B), HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI signal input/output with automatic signal type detection.

MFR-16SDIA/16SDIB: 16-input card enables support for 3G/HD/SD-SDI and ASI
MFR-16SDIGB: 16-input card enables support for 12G/3G-SDI, 4-input ports supporting 12G-SDI and Gearbox
MFR-16SDO/16SDOA: 16-output card enables support for 3G/HD/SD-SDI and ASI
MFR-16SDOGB: 16-output card enables support for 12G/3G-SDI, 4-output ports supporting 12G-SDI and Gearbox

* For MFR-8000 matrices, only up to 3G-SDI is supported. An input card compatible with conversion from 12G to 3G for 12G-SDI input and an output card compatible with conversion from 3G to 12G for 12G-SDI output are necessary.

Gearbox Support

Add the MFR-16SDIGB and MFR-16SDOGB cards for conversion of video (Quad Link 3G-SDI/12G-SDI) and mapping (2SI/SQD) formats. These options open the door for equipment previously incompatible with 12G-SDI, enabling system building focused on this new specification.

Various Audio Input and Output Support

Ready for a range of audio input/output cards. This allows for a combined audio/video router in a single unit along with A/D and D/A conversion, plus embedding and de-embedding.

MFR-16ADI: Input card for 16 AES/EBU stereo pairs with SRC
MFR-16AAI: Input card for 16 analog stereo pairs with A/D converter
MFR-16AAIEX: Input card for 16 analog audio embed to SDI signal
MFR-16AESI: Input card for 16 AES/EBU stereo pairs (32 channels)
MFR-16SDIB: Input card for 16 MADI (64 channels)
MFR-16AAOEX: Output card for 16 AES/EBU stereo pairs convert into analog audio
MFR-16ADAO: Audio output card for up to 8 stereo pairs with D/A converter (16 channels)
MFR-16AESO: Output card for 16 AES/EBU stereo pairs (32 channels)
MFR-16AESPO: Output card for 16 AES stereo pairs (32 channels) with audio mapping function
MFR-16MADIPO: Output card for 16 MADI with audio mapping function

Control Signal Input/Output Support

Routes control signals between master units (editing stations, etc.) and slave units (video servers, etc.) with an added I/O card for serial control.

MFR-16DTIO: 16-port RS-422 I/O card

Configuring Matrices (Maximum 256 Input/ 256 Output)

Each input/output board has 16 channels and up to 16 boards can be installed together. As a result, matrices of up to 256 inputs/ 256 outputs can be configured, allowing the unit to support 16 inputs/16 outputs of 8K signal and 64 inputs/64 outputs of 4K signal.

MFR Series WEB-based Control

Gives free access to MFR-8000 control settings such as system settings, input and output settings, tally settings, remote control button assignments, and crosspoint switch settings.

Outstanding Redundancy

CPU board redundancy (optional)
Redundant power supply (optional)
Network redundancy (optional)
Direct control of main unit: the main unit has an LED display on the front. It can display settings and alarms.

Various Crosspoint Control

A variety of crosspoint control features are available in addition to normal crosspoint switching.

Salvo function
Take operation
Link function
Level operation
Chop function
Monitor out
Prevention of incorrect operation

Matrix Partition Function

One routing switcher can be virtually partitioned to build any theoretical hierarchy, creating possibilities for use in various operations.

Fully independent switching
V/Key linking switcher
3D switcher
HD/SD simul-switcher
4K/8K switcher (supporting crosspoint)

SNMP Support

Remote SNMP monitoring allows the router to be easily integrated into an SNMP monitoring system. In this way you can monitor status of various items including power source, fan and CPU units, presence/absence of signals, crosspoint errors and more.
