Ross Video and Telecast Fiber Systems officially announced their partnership to expand the openGear terminal equipment platform. Telecast produces portable and fixed fiber-optic systems for TV broadcast production and will join other terminal equipment vendors in supporting the platform.

OpenGear is based on an open-architecture, 2RU modular frame designed to accommodate up to 10 cards. A wide variety of cards are available from terminal equipment vendors supporting the openGear platform, allowing facilities the freedom and flexibility to choose the best technology for their particular applications. OpenGear also provides the platform with a control system that allows quick and easy monitoring and control of frames and modules on the network.
