Decimator Design DR1-10B1G Rear Module for openGear Cards

Rear Module Solution Designed for openGear Signal Management
The Decimator Design DR1-10B1G is a professional rear module engineered for use with openGear systems, providing streamlined connectivity and physical I/O expansion for compatible cards. With ten BNC connectors and a general-purpose (GP) connector, this rear module facilitates secure signal routing, making it an essential accessory for integrating Decimator’s OG-based converters into live production and broadcast environments. Whether you're managing multiple video paths or customizing GPIO functions, this unit simplifies signal handling within openGear frames.

Supports Up to 10 Channels of SDI or Analog I/O via BNC
This rear module features ten rear-mounted BNC connectors designed to support a variety of SDI or analog signal types depending on the functionality of the front module installed. Each connector ensures a solid and reliable physical interface for high-frequency video signals. Whether used for SD, HD, or 3G-SDI routing, these connections are designed for consistent, broadcast-grade performance across demanding installations.

Includes General-Purpose Connector for GPIO or Ancillary Control
In addition to the ten BNC ports, the DR1-10B1G includes a general-purpose connector that enables advanced control or automation features. Depending on the paired openGear card, this connector can be configured for tally, alarm outputs, remote switching, or dynamic signal status functions. It's an ideal solution for facilities that require flexible interfacing with external control systems or additional workflow integration.

Compatible With openGear Architecture for Modular Installations
The DR1-10B1G is designed specifically for use in standard openGear 2RU frames, supporting modular card-based infrastructure. Its rear panel form factor ensures a clean and organized layout with accessible cabling, enabling quick swaps and efficient system scaling. For engineers and integrators building or upgrading openGear systems, this module provides dependable physical connectivity that’s built to match professional deployment standards.

Simplifies Installation and Maintenance With Labeled Connectors
Each of the BNC connections and the GP interface are clearly labeled, minimizing confusion during installation and ensuring accurate signal routing. This is especially useful for field deployments or rack environments where access is limited and signal paths need to be documented and serviced quickly. The rear panel format is ideal for permanent integrations where stability and cable security are top priorities.

Engineered for Long-Term Durability in High-Demand Environments
Built with robust materials and designed for heavy use, the DR1-10B1G rear module maintains mechanical integrity and signal reliability in production trucks, studios, and permanent installations. The locking connectors and reinforced housing are optimized to handle the constant patching, movement, and heat common in broadcast and AV environments.
