2.1 Installation of Rear Connector Panels
Grass Valley Densité-series cards are each associated with a rear connector panel, which must be installed in the
Densité frame before the card can be inserted.
The SME-1901/1911 card is sized to fit into Grass Valley’s Densité-2 frame, but can be ordered with an extender to fit
the taller Densité-3 frame. Rear panels are available for each frame type. SME-1901 and SME-1911 cards use
different rear panels, as the SME-1901 rears include the DA outputs and optional bypass relay which are not included
in the SME-1911.
SME-1901 rear connector panels:
• SME-1901-DRP
Densité-2 - Double-slot-width panel with 1x6 DA
• SME-1901-3SRP
Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel with 1x5 DA
• SME-1901-3SRP-R Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel with 1x5 DA and bypass relay
• SME-1901-3SRP-F Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel with 1x4 DA and fiber I/O support
• SME-1901-3SRP-D-F Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel with 1x6 DA, DIN connectors and fiber I/O support
SME-1911 rear connector panels:
• SME-1911-DRP
Densité-2 - Double-slot-width panel
• SME-1911-3SRP
Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel
• SME-1911-3SRP-F Densité-3 - Single-slot-width panel with fiber I/O support
See section 2.3 for details of the signal connections available on each of these connector panel types.
Rear panels are not interchangeable between the SME-1901 and the SME-1911
All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on. The card has connectors which plug into a mid-
frame mother board for distribution of power and for connection to the controller card, and a second connector which
plugs directly into the rear connector panel for input and output.
The rear connector panel must be installed with the card out of the frame.
• To remove an existing card from the slot, tilt up the swivel handle on the front of the card to lever the connectors
apart, then use the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.
