NEO® frames have been designed with the future in mind, offering flexibility for multiple applications of use, and housing any combination of video/audio analog/digital conversion and distribution modules. The frames offer an easy upgrade path of video and audio from analog and SDI to HD-SDI for broadcast, post-production, cable and telco applications requiring monitoring and control capability of incoming and outgoing feeds. There are two frame sizes available for NEO products (1RU and 3RU). The 1RU frame holds four NEO products, a single power supply, a fan module and a resource module or alarm interconnect module.
In addition to supporting open, documented CCS™ Protocol, the NEO advanced applications platform offers optional SNMP support, direct to the frame, with support of both SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c. SNMP support is key for facility-wide monitoring applications and offers an industry-standard interface to address interoperability between multiple vendors.
For added flexibility, the FR-3923-E supports HTTP for simple, web-based control.


3901AIC Alarm Interconnect Module
The 3901AIC Alarm Interconnect module is used when external communications are not required and is included in the FR-3901. The 3901AIC provides support for external contact closures and LEDs on the card edge indicating major and minor alarms.
3901RES-E Resource Module
When external communications and/or a local control panel is required, the 3901RES-E is required. External contact closures serial port and Ethernet communications are supported. The FR-3901-E and FR-3901-E-P use the 3901RES-E. There is room for one 3901RES-E in the 1RU frame.
LCP-3901-1U Local Control Panels
If a frame is initially ordered and shipped with a blank front panel, it is possible to add a local control panel. The rackmount screws must be removed so that the blank front panel and hinge assembly can be removed and the local control panel can be mounted.
3901PS Power Supply
The 3901PS provides power to the modules inside the frame. The 1RU frame can hold a single power supply.
