1-1. Overview
The MFR-3100EX is a multi-format routing switcher that supports 12G-SDI (When MFR-8SDIGB/
8SDOGB are installed), 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, ASI, AES/EBU, MADI and analog audio signals.
Inside the 4U case a matrix of up to 64 inputs/72 outputs can be configured. And by linking multiple
units, they can be used as a large-scale routing switcher. It supports various functions such as the
capability of linking multiple cases, tally connections with peripheral devices, and automatic source
name tracking, to allow the units to be the core product in small to medium size systems.
1-2. Features
➢ Support for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and ASI signals with automatic signal recognition that
enables operation without concern for the type of signal. 12G-SDI, AES/EBU, MADI and
analog audio input/output and multiview output are also supported by installing optional
input/output cards.
➢ By linking multiple units, they can be used as a large-scale routing switcher.
➢ Up to 2 units can be linked together.
➢ One routing switcher can be virtually partitioned to build any theoretical hierarchy, which
creates possibilities for use in various operating forms.
➢ Various crosspoint control functions such as Salvo, Take, Link, Level, and Chop operation.
➢ Tally linking with FOR-A’s video switchers (HANABI Series) and multi viewers. Source name
displays on video switchers and multi viewers can be switched in conjunction with switching
controlled in the main unit. MFR routers support TSL and Harris protocol, enabling linkage to
other companies' products.
➢ Built-in web server for remote control through a web browser
➢ SNMP support enabling SNMP monitoring system configuration
➢ Status monitoring for power supply, fan, CPU as well as crosspoint errors and etc.
➢ CPU board redundancy allowing monitoring of primary CPU board operation via the
secondary board. Immediate and smooth switch over to the secondary board without down
time in case of irregularities, as well as stable remote control operation supported by the
network redundancy
➢ Power unit redundancy for stable power supply against power unit failure or power supply
troubles
➢ Matrix partition and level setting capabilities by remote control units support a flexible control
environment (maximum of 128 units in total including the main unit)
➢ Remote control panel connectivity for configuring a huge control panel
➢ Interface expansion unit (MFR-GPI) for additional 128 (32 x 4) GPI/O and 4 serial ports (9-pin
D-sub, male)
➢ MFR-TALM Tally Manager Unit is designed specifically to manage tally and signal name data
in the MFR system and the exchange of this data with external devices such as a video
switcher, multiviewer etc. The unit performs the task of tally data computation, which is
ordinarily undertaken by the MFR main unit, to accelerate the task.
➢ Conversions between 12G-SDI and Quad Link 3G-SDI and between 2SI and SQD available
by installing optional MFR-8SDIGB and MFR-8SDOGB (Gearbox feature built-in) cards.
➢ MFR-8SDODL option card (w/ AVDL function) allows up to 5H phase adjustment against
reference.
➢ The MFR-RULINK connects MFR main units to MFR remote control units that are located in
distant locations. Operations such as Crosspoint switching or Lock can be performed with
MFR-RULINK using MFR remote control units from a distant location.
