BroadPort 550 SMPTE 16-Port Card
Part Number: 55120-1
The BroadPort 16-port uPCI card includes a DCE/DTE switch for maximum flexibility, has a 1U 19" rack-mount interface and provides RS-422 connections via "Sony DB9" (SMPTE 207M) connectors. There is no need to add further adapters as you would with traditional products. A 16-port changeover unit allows rapid swapping of the peripherals from a duty server to standby server.
BroadPort 550 uPCI Card The universal PCI card (PCI and PCI-x) was developed from the popular RocketPort 550 and provides a low-cost serial expansion solution, delivering the highest performance and reliability through industry-standard 16550 UART technology. Each of the ports exceeds the speed requirements of the SMPTE 207M standard and can be set individually to DCE or DTE.
