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. The 3RU frame holds 12 NEO products, up to two redundant power supplies and up to two IP-based communications resource modules (or one alarm interconnect module).
In addition to supporting our open, documented CCS™ Protocol, the NEO advanced applications platform offer 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
When external communications are not required, the 3901AIC provides support for external contact closures and illuminated the front-panel indications of major and minor alarms.
3901RES-E Resource Module
When external communications are required, the 3901RES-E provides external contact closures, serial port communications, XY router protocol communications and Ethernet IP-based communications. The FR-3923-E is shipped with a single 3901RES-E module. A second, redundant 3901RES-E may be housed in the 3RU frame. The 3901RES-E resource module enables control and monitoring of all modules within the frame by means of CCS software applications.
3923FAN Fan Module
The 3923FAN provides cooling for the frame. It is front-loaded and hot-swappable.
3923PS Power Supply
The 3923PS provides sufficient power to operate any combination of modules within the 3RU frame. The 3RU frame can hold two redundant power supplies, which operate in a power sharing configuration. The 3923PS is hot- swappable from the front of the frame.
