TANDEM-110 fits into 2U FR2AV or Indigo frame for up to 12 Crystal Vision modules,
the 1U FR1AV or Indigo frame for up to 6 Crystal Vision modules and a Desk top box for
up to 2 Crystal Vision modules.
There are five different types of rear module to cater for all Crystal Vision frames and to
provide a wide range of I/O options.

There are five different types of rear module to provide a wide range of I/O options. If
maximum card density is important the slimmest single-width rear connector allows for
12 TANDEM cards in a 2U frame, albeit at the expense of losing the second buffered SDI
outputs. This solution also demands a high-density multiway connector for balanced
digital audio I/O, but all connections, including GPIs and analogue preview monitoring
are available.
However, the loss of second SDI output can be avoided by using a taller rear module. A
double-height single card rear module allows access to all connections at six cards per
frame and a special all-connection triple card rear module achieves nine cards per frame.
There are also double-height single-card and triple-card rear modules available with
BNCs for unbalanced
digital
audio. However, the double-height version does not have the
second SDI output and the triple does not have the second digital audio outputs.
