Know before you buy
Yes, the frame is designed to be modular. You can populate the eight slots with any combination of compatible Theatrixx Reversible Modules to suit your specific signal conversion needs.
The frame features dual, hot-swappable power supplies in a redundant configuration. If one unit fails, the system automatically switches to the second power supply, ensuring your signal conversion remains uninterrupted.
The modules can be installed facing either the front or the rear of the rack. This flexibility allows you to route your HDMI or SDI cabling toward the direction that best suits your rack layout, keeping your setup clean and organized.
No, the frame includes an integrated power delivery system. It powers all installed modules directly from the rack's internal power supply, eliminating the need for external wall warts or messy individual power cables.
Yes, the frame is a standard 19-inch rackmount unit with a 3RU height. Its shallow 7-inch depth makes it particularly well-suited for portable flight cases and compact rack installations.
The frame itself is a hardware-based power and mounting solution and does not require software for operation. However, the modules you install may be compatible with software like OBS Studio, vMix, or Wirecast depending on their specific conversion functions.
