Dual Redundant, Hot Swappable Power for Video

tvONE introduced a solution to the AV world's rack mounting challenges last year after revealing the ONErack, a universal racking mounting solution with power and cooling. This year, tvONE has revealed the addition of an optional dual redundant power supply to the industry recognized ONErack. tvONE's patent-pending design converts randomly sized, externally-powered devices from ANY manufacturer into slide-in modules that can be installed quickly and cleanly and serviced easily.

The dual redundant power supply is hot swappable, and removes a potential point of failure in racks used for mission critical installations. In addition to reliability, this new power option adds surge protection, dc power conditioning, and load sharing to the ONErack solution.

When using ONErack, AV Integrators and Service Engineers can build & service cleaner, more professional looking racks, faster. The ONErack’s front and rear access provides uniform cable management and unlike proprietary rack kits or traditional rack mounting methods like a shelf, the ONErack allows high density mounting in three different chassis sizes, provides 7 different voltages and cools all within a ONErack chassis. For service, just slide out a failed device, no cable ties, no guessing.

“Integrators spend a lot of time and money to install and service these small devices,” says Mark Armon, Global Product Manager at tvONE, “the beauty to this solution is its simplicity – a rare thing these days!”

The ONErack chassis is available in 4RU, 5RU and 6RU and can hold up to 16 modules with up to 2 voltage selectors each. When using the ONErack power supply, each voltage selector, can provide selectable power at 5V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V, 13.5V, 18V, or 24V at up to 35 Watts. A pass thru is available for custom power sources.

“Each ONErack Chassis can include 1 or more 250-Watt power supplies that can feed additional chassis, to allow for a clean power solution for all mounted devices. Close the front of your ONErack with a fan cover and keep it all cool. Mount 64 devices in just 5RU, powered and cooled,” Armon concluded.
