Introduction

The RocketPort SMPTE range of cards is designed to provide an additional 8 serial ports using a single uPCI (PCI & PCI-x) or PCI Express (PCI-e) slot. The interface (supplied with the card) provides DB9F serial ports and conforms to the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers standard SMPTE 207M. Each port is selectable for DTE/DCE and the data transmission speed are well in excess of the SMPTE 207M requirements. There is no need to add further adapters as you would with a standard IT product.

A wide range of drivers are available for these cards.

Features and benefits:

  • PCI, PCI-x and PCI-e cards available.
  • 8 port card with interface
  • Transmission speeds up to 921 Kbps
  • RS-422 SMPTE 207M interface
  • DTE/DCE selectable on each port
  • PCI-e compatible with x1, x2, x4, x8, x12 & x16 lane expansion slots

There are additional SMPTE products here
