SDI video (all current formats), audio, Ethernet data and serial control data. The BC160i can hold six BC Series cards of any type: thus up to 24 separate signals can be transmitted/received over fibre optic links from the frame. -
Page 5: Power Requirements
PSU can power a fully-loaded rack, regardless of card type mix. The BC160i has no user-replaceable fuses. When powering the frame with a fused IEC cable, fit a fuse of 5 A rating. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating. If the replacement fuse blows immediately on connection, the PSU is faulty and the frame should be sent for repair. -
