1 Introduction
The FRX HD is a two-channel optical serial digital video receiver and distribution
amplifier for both High Definition and Standard Definition formats with up to two outputs
per channel.
The universal connection system allows a mixture of Crystal Vision modules in the frame.
The modules plug in the front and the rear connectors plug in the rear. Depending on
frame design, a hinged or removable front panel reveals LED indication of input and PSU
status when opened.

The RM28 single slot rear connector provides two serial digital outputs per channel with
up to 24 modules in 4U of rack space.
The range of Crystal Vision optical boards has been designed to work in conjunction with
the Indigo 4 and the Indigo 2 and Indigo 1 frames of Issue 2 and above. The board may be
plugged into any of the PCB slots, the only proviso being where it needs to be placed
below a Standard Definition board. The rules governing frame configuration are
explained in the installation chapter.
