About the Apantac SDI-FIB-RMT Rackmount Frame

The Apantac SDI-FIB-RMT is a modular rackmount frame designed to house and power Apantac's family of multi-image display processors, multiviewers, and signal conversion cards. This chassis serves as the foundational hardware platform for building customized video wall processing, multi-image display, and signal management systems in professional broadcast, control room, and live production environments. The frame provides the necessary power supply, cooling, and backplane connectivity for a variety of hot-swappable cards, each performing specific functions such as SDI input capture, signal conversion, scaling, windowing, and output display generation. This modular architecture allows system integrators to design a solution tailored to the exact number of inputs, outputs, and processing features required for a specific application, from a simple quad-split display to a complex video wall with dozens of sources.

The core capability of a system built in this frame is real-time multi-image processing. By populating the frame with input cards (like 3G/HD/SD-SDI or HDMI) and output cards (typically DVI or DisplayPort), and combining them with a central processing card, the system can take multiple live video sources, scale them, position them as windows on a single or tiled display canvas, and add graphical elements like clocks, logos, and titles. The frame's backplane ensures high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between all cards. This makes it ideal for broadcast master control monitoring, network operation centers, and sports production trucks where operators need to view many sources simultaneously on a single screen or video wall.

Built for 24/7 operation, the SDI-FIB-RMT rackmount frame features a robust metal enclosure, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, and temperature-controlled cooling fans for maximum reliability. Configuration and control are managed through Apantac's proprietary software, which provides an intuitive interface for designing screen layouts, managing sources, and controlling the entire system, often over a network. By offering a scalable, card-based approach, the Apantac chassis provides a flexible and future-proof foundation for creating high-performance multiviewer and video wall systems that can be easily expanded or reconfigured as needs change.
