The MD-003 1RU™ hybrid frame supports both Media Links MD2000™ series signal processing modules and MD-003 optical video transport modules, making it the most versatile frame available.

Two slots are available for signal processing which include the HD-270 Coax Compression Code for 270Mbps transport circuits, the HD-GigE Video IP Gateway, and Media Links full suite of HD and SD analog/digital up and down converters, frame synchronizers and audio embedders and de-embedders.

Two additional slots are available for optical video transport modules, including an HD/SD/DVB-ASI video module, an OC-3 telecom module and a forthcoming Gigabit Ethernet module. The internal optical connectors allow modules to be easily replaced without disturbing external optical connections. An optional 1310/1550 WDM filter can also be installed to support fiber sharing.

The MD-003 1RU hybrid frame is a carrier class, NEBS level 3 compliant enclosure designed specifically for high-reliability applications. An internal controller supports status monitoring for all installed modules, power supplies, and fans, and can report errors via SNMP traps to external monitoring systems. The controller also provides an interface for external web browsers that can be used for system configuration, status monitoring and closed contact outputs that can trigger external alarms. In-band network management can also provide connection to remote frames, allowing status monitoring to be performed from one end of a two-way circuit.
