PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The HEADLINE rack is mounted using a 19” rack cabinet. Take the rack out of the box and mount
it to the cabinet using the screws provided.
Included in the box:
• 19” rack with interconnection module
• 220V mains cable
• sticky labels to identify the modules
• handles to take the modules out
The interconnection module allows power to be distributed to all modules and enables the modules
in the same row to be programmed.
The mains power and data BUS is distributed through a panel mounted in the back of the HEADLINE
rack. Each module of the HEADLINE range has its own power supply so no need to foresee the
redundancy of power supplies in order to guarantee the headend operation.
STRUCTURE OF A HEADLINE SYSTEM
A HEADLINE system consists of one or more module rows with its own interconnection module.
Each row can have up to 11 modules plus an interconnection module. A Headline system can
have up to 15 rows.
