High Density, Flexible, and Scalable Chassis

Designed for high density deployment in server rooms across broadcast, enterprise, universities, and hospitals, the MB series of chassis provide flexible and scalable solutions where rackmount installations are required.

High Density Multichannel Chassis Haivision’s encoders, decoders, and gateways are available as single product appliances or as independent mini-blades. For installations where rack mounting is desired, Haivision offers rackmount kits for single and dual-height appliance enclosures, as well as the MB6 and MB21 enclosures, which can contain up to 6 or 21 encoder/decoder blades, respectively, within the single highest density platform available. MB6 & MB21 series enclosures feature redundant power supplies, allow for in-service blade replacement and incorporate fan management circuitry to minimize fan noise. MB series enclosures can be populated with various combinations of Haivision’s Makito high performance, HEVC or H.264 encoders, and HEVC or H.264 Makito decoders.

MB21X High Density Twenty-One Slot Chassis Designed for high density IP video headends, the MB21 holds any combination of up to 21 Makito X ir X4 products in a 7-inch rack (4RU) and also features replaceable fans and fully redundant power supplies. This high density, cost effective solution has been deployed in headends and server rooms in universities, hospitals, and enterprises worldwide.In addition, the MB21X provides a station alarm interface so as to notify operators when a power supply or fan failure has occurred.

Redundancy Redundant AC inputs and a field serviceable power supply allows the MB21 to continue operating even if an AC input is lost or a Power Supply Unit (PSU) fails. The MB21X dual PSU variant can remain fully operational if a single power supply has failed. With the MB6X-RAC, a single AC input or PSU can fail without affecting the operation of the unit.
