Where professional-grade performance meets innovative design, the MFR-3000 8-Channel 3G/HD/SD/ASI Routing Switcher stands as a testament to For.a's commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and advanced electronics. This durable routing switcher is a modular rack mount chassis, offering unparalleled flexibility and scalability, making it a perfect fit for mission-critical broadcast facilities, hospital surgical rooms, corporate meeting rooms, and research centers.
The MFR-3000 is an optimal solution for midsize systems, accommodating variable input/output capabilities and mixed signal formats. It supports a multi-format video input and output, including standard support for 3G-SDI (Level A/B), HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and ASI input and output. With auto signal detection, there's no need to worry about signal formats.
This routing switcher can be expanded by 8 inputs or outputs at a time, up to a maximum 64-input/64-output matrix. It also supports AES/EBU, analog audio, and multi-viewer (monitor output) via additional I/O cards. The MFR-3000 ensures continuous operation with its outstanding redundancy features, including an optional redundant CPU board and power supply.
The MFR-3000 is equipped with SNMP monitoring, allowing for integration into an SNMP monitoring system. This feature enables monitoring of various operational states, such as power, fan and CPU status, SDI signal input or output, and crosspoint errors. SNMP traps are sent to a manager if system failure and recovery occur.
