LED Indicators

LEDs on the front (near door) of the card indicate the presence of power and the

type of signal detected on the SDI inputs as follows (from top to bottom):

Power LED

The Power LED indicates the state of the card as displayed in DashBoard. When

power is present, it can be green, yellow or red.

• Green: no DashBoard card state alarm is present.

• Yellow: a yellow DashBoard card state alarm is present. See DashBoard for

more information.

OG-12GM openGear Card v1.0.2r1 6 www.aja.com

• Red: a red DashBoard card state alarm is present. See DashBoard for more

information.

CH1 LOCK, CH2 LOCK, CH3 LOCK, CH4 LOCK

The LEDs adjacent to each SDI channel label indicate by color the detected signal

type:

• Off: no signal

• Green: SD

• Red: HD

• Amber: 3G

• Purple: 6G

• Blue: 12G

Signal Indicators in the DashBoard Control System

Card Alarm State – Red

When the card is connected to an incompatible rear card, it will result in a red

alarm indicator:

• HW Status Unsupported Rear Module

Figure 3. Card alarm state red

Card Alarm State – Green

When there is a valid input signal detected, the DashBoard Control System shows

a green Card State.

User Controls

The essential user controls for the OG-12GM consist of two components—an

openGear 2RU frame, and the DashBoard Control System.

openGear and AJA

openGear is an open-architecture, modular frame system designed by Ross

Video and supported by a diverse range of terminal equipment manufacturers,

including AJA. Ross Video manufactures the frames, power supplies and network

cards for openGear. AJA is a reseller of the openGear frames.

AJA Video is a leading manufacturer of video interface technologies, converters,

digital video recording solutions and professional cameras, bringing high-

quality, cost-effective products to the professional, broadcast and post-

production markets. AJA products, including openGear cards, are designed and

manufactured at our facilities in Grass Valley, California.

DashBoard Control System

The DashBoard Control System, created by Ross Video, provides a control

interface between Windows, macOS and Linux computers and the cards installed

in an openGear frame. DashBoard operates through TCP/IP communication

and requires an Ethernet connection between the controlling computer and an

openGear frame.

Use DashBoard to select the Mux/Demux link configuration settings.

For details about acquiring and using the DashBoard Control System, refer to

"Using the DashBoard Control System" on page 12.

Installation

Summary

NOTE: Use with openGear OG-3-FR and OG-X-FR 2RU frames. DFR-8321 frame is not

supported.

Installing an OG-12GM card into an OG-X-FR openGear frame consists of the

following steps:

• Install the Rear Panel onto the back of the frame corresponding to the slot pair

you will be using for the OG-12GM card.

• Insert the OG-12GM card into the frame in the right (even numbered) slot of

the pair.

• Connect the BNC cabling to the Rear Panel.

ESD Susceptibility - Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive

semiconductor devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static

environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber

clothing. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit

boards and related equipment.

Unpacking

Unpack each openGear product you received from the shipping container and

ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact

your sales representative or AJA directly.

Rear OG-12GM Card Installation

1. Ensure that the frame is properly installed.

2. Locate the card frame slot on the rear of the openGear frame into which you

wish to install the openGear card.

NOTE: An OG-12GM card occupies two slots in the frame.

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the top screw from the desired blank

rear plate and remove the rear plate.

4. Seat the bottom of the Rear Card in the seating slot at the base of the frame

back plane.

Figure 5. Rear Card Inserting Into Frame Seating Slot

5. Align the top screw of the Rear Card with the screw hole on the top edge of

the frame back plane.

6. Ensure the Rear Card aligns with the desired card slot before tightening the

screw.

7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the Rear Card to the frame back plane.

Do not over tighten.

Figure 6. Rear Card Inserted Into Frame Seating Slot

8. Ensure proper frame cooling and ventilation by having all rear frame slots

covered with rear modules or blank metal plates if plates are not pre-

installed.

Front OG-12GM Card Installation

1. Open the openGear frame door as follows:

OG-12GM openGear Card v1.0.2r1 10 www.aja.com

A. Gently pull the side door tabs towards the center of the door, releasing the

door from the frame.

B. Using both hands, pull the door towards you. The door extender arms

prevent the door from falling.

2. Locate the Rear Card you installed as described above. The interior slot

number is dependent on the slot combinations into which you installed the

Rear Card. This allows adequate spacing to avoid damaging the card, the

cards installed in the neighboring slots, or both.

3. Hold the card by the edges and carefully align the card edges with the rails

inside the frame. The slots are numbered starting from the left-most slot

when facing the frame front.

IMPORTANT: OG-12GM cards are installed into the right (even numbered) slot of the pair

in order to connect with the rear panel.

4. Fully insert the card into the frame until the card is properly seated in the

Rear Card. There are two stages to inserting the card:

A. After you feel the card's first click, its position in the frame will resemble the

photograph below in Figure 7.

B. Next, press against the white plastic tab again until you feel the second

click. The card's position will resemble the photograph below in Figure 8.

NOTE: Some cards require more pressure than others to be fully inserted. Make sure that

the plastic tab at the bottom of the front edge of the card is completely upright. If

it is tilting forward, the card is not yet fully inserted.

Figure 7. The card on the right is already fully inserted. The card on the left

is not yet fully inserted, as indicated by the white plastic tab tilting

forward.
