Accessories

AJA offers a number of accessories for mounting and powering AJA Mini-Converters including two rackmount frames; the DRM2-Plus (with either an actively or passively cooled faceplate), the DRM, and additional cable options.

DRM2-Plus

Next Generation Mini-Converter Rackmount Frame 

The DRM2-Plus is our next generation rack-mount frame for securing and powering AJA Mini-Converters (sold separately). The DRM2-Plus is a 3RU tall rack frame that can accommodate up to 12 standard AJA Mini-Converters or 6 next-generation Mini-Converters with its 288W 100-240V, 50/60Hz power supply. The DRM2-Plus can support up to 24 smaller form factor converters, such as the AJA FiDO fiber, HA5-Plus, Hi5-Plus, and V2Analog and V2Digital converters (sold separately) with optional Y-cables and carriers. The DRM2-Plus is the best way to manage a multitude of Mini-Converters in a compact and powerful device. 

The DRM2-Plus is available in four configurations:  

  • Passive Faceplate, Single Power Supply - $1395 US MSRP* DRM2-PLUS-P1 

  • Passive Faceplate, Redundant Power Supply - $1595 US MSRP* DRM2-PLUS-P2 

  • Active Faceplate, Single Power Supply - $1595 US MSRP* DRM2-PLUS-A1 

  • Active Faceplate, Redundant Power Supply - $1795 US MSRP* DRM2-PLUS-A2 

*International pricing will vary.

DRM2-Plus Active Faceplate

Small Converter Power Options for the DRM2-Plus

Because the DRM2-Plus can deliver up to 288 watts of power, the smaller form factor of the single and dual channel FiDO’s, HA5-Plus, Hi5-Plus, and V2Analog and V2Digital converters with their low power consumption, makes it possible to support up to 24 smaller-sized FiDOs in the DRM2-Plus. This configuration requires the purchase of the optional AJA DRM2 Y-Cable, the DRM2-YC. 

One Y-Cable (sold separately) is required per pair to achieve this density of mounted converters. 

Y-Cable pricing: DRM2-YC (1 cable) $45 US MSRP*, DRM2-YC12 (12 cables) $450 US MSRP* 

*International pricing will vary.

Power Options for Next Generation Mini-Converters

The next generation AJA Mini-Converters, such as DANTE-12GAM, use a Mini-XLR power connector instead of the standard Mini-Con-X connector. We offer an adapter cable (DRM2-PLUS-CX) to convert from the Mini-XLR power on the device to the Mini-Con-X connections on the DRM2-Plus. When using multiple AJA next-generation Mini-Converters, customers can order a Mini-XLR harness which includes (6) Mini-XLR Connectors and (1) Mini-Con-X Connectors to power the active faceplate. 

When using the Mini-XLR harness, a DRM2-PLUS-XC adapter cable is available if needing to add a Mini-Converter that utilizes the Mini-Con-X connector. 

DRM2-PLUS-CX (Male-Mini-Con-X-to-Female-Mini-XLR power adapter cable 12") $75 US MSRP* 

DRM2-PLUS-XC- (Male-Mini-XLR-to-Female-Mini-Con-X adapter cable, 12") $75 US MSRP* 

DRM2-PLUS-CB (Male-Mini-Con-X-to-Male-Barrel adapter cable, 12”) $75 US MSRP* 

DRM2-PLUS-6X (Mini-XLR Harness) $300 US MSRP* 

*International pricing will vary.

Mini-Converter Carriers for the DRM2-PLus

The DRM2-Plus ships with 12x carriers, and additional carriers are sold separately as single items or twelve packs. They offer flexible mounting points on the side or bottom of the sled and accommodate a range of sizes from the largest next-generation converter to the smallest FiDO.

DRM2-Plus-CH Carrier and Mounting Hardware (1) - $25 US MSRP* 

DRM2-Plus-CM Carrier and Mounting Hardware (12 Pack Bundle) - $250 US MSRP* 

* International pricing will vary.
