openGear® INTRODUCTION
Developed by Ross Video, openGear® is a standard where various manufacturers can design their equipment to fit
a common frame allowing the end user to mix and match the various openGear® cards available in the market
place together in one frame. This allows a single frame to be used instead of multiple different vendor’s frames
that each would otherwise be using their own proprietary standard.
A simple to use monitoring and control software called DashBoard™ is a free program downloadable from the
openGear® website (
www.opengear.tv
) that allows the user to remotely monitor and control an openGear® type
card fitted within an openGear® frame that meets the openGear® standard for DashBoard™ control. A link is also
supplied via the I.R.T. Communications website (
www.irtcommunications.com
) under the openGear® navigation
section.
I.R.T. Communications’ openGear® cards are designed to meet the openGear® standard for mounting within the
openGear® OG3-FR frame and its earlier version DFR-8300 frame, and is fully compliant with DashBoard™ control.
The openGear® frame manual, DashBoard™ control software and information regarding the frame’s power
supplies, controller card and frame accessories are available for download at the openGear® website.
