The JVC Professional HDX-FR-2 is a dedicated rack-mount enclosure designed to house and organize various HDX series modular interface cards, such as fiber optic transmitters, receivers, converters, and signal processors, within a standardized 19-inch equipment rack. This frame provides the essential infrastructure of power distribution, cooling, and secure mechanical mounting, transforming individual card modules into a consolidated, professional-grade signal processing bay. Its primary role is to centralize and streamline broadcast signal management in master control rooms, production trucks, and post-production facilities, offering a clean, high-density, and easily serviceable solution for complex video and audio routing paths.

Engineered for reliability and serviceability, the frame typically includes a centralized power supply with redundant capability, integrated cooling fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the installed cards, and a backplane that facilitates communication and power delivery to each card slot. The HDX-FR-2 allows system integrators and engineers to build a customized signal processing system by populating the frame with only the specific HDX card types required for their workflow, such as SDI-to-fiber converters, audio embedders, or sync generators. This modular approach offers significant flexibility and scalability, enabling the system to be easily reconfigured or expanded as technical needs evolve without replacing the entire infrastructure.
