AJA DRM2-PLUS-P2 Passive 3RU Frame with Redundant Power Supply

AJA DRM2-PLUS-P2 is a 3RU rackmount frame with a passive faceplate and redundant power supply, built to house and power up to 12 AJA Mini-Converters. This robust frame is a reliable solution for streamlining signal workflows in broadcast, live event, and pro AV environments.

The DRM2-PLUS-P2 supports a wide variety of AJA Mini-Converters. It can mount 12 standard-size converters, or up to 24 smaller models like the FiDO fiber, HA5-Plus, Hi5-Plus, and V2Analog/V2Digital, using the optional DRM2-YC Y-Cable. It also accommodates up to six of AJA’s latest converters, such as the DANTE-12GAM.

This model features a redundant power supply, essential for mission-critical applications where uptime is a must. It provides 13 regulated +12V DC outputs, with 12 dedicated to converters and one reserved for an optional fan-cooled faceplate. Even with high converter density, the DRM2-PLUS-P2 ensures stable and clean power across all units.

The included passive faceplate keeps airflow unassisted, ideal for standard rack environments with controlled cooling. The hinged front panel adds accessibility, letting you install or remove converters without taking the chassis out of the rack. This thoughtful design reduces downtime and simplifies maintenance.

Each DRM2-PLUS-P2 includes 12 modular carriers to securely mount your Mini-Converters. Additional carriers are available separately if needed. Thanks to its smart internal layout and generous 288W total power capacity, the DRM2-PLUS-P2 can easily support high-density setups.

Real-World Use Cases

• 384 channels of Dante audio embedding/disembedding
• 48 channels of 3G/12G-SDI to fiber or vice versa
• 60 channels of sync distribution using GEN10 and 3GDA/C10DA
• 12 channels of 4K HDMI to 12G-SDI or reverse
• 24 channels of HDMI to 3G-SDI (or reverse) in compact installs
• Independent scan conversion or up/down/cross conversions

Upgrade Path and Accessories

For higher ambient temperatures or heavy-duty converters, upgrade the faceplate to the DRM2-PLUS-AF active cooling faceplate with four integrated fans. This upgrade ensures thermal stability in on-location setups and demanding studio installs.

Need to run more compact converters? Add the DRM2-YC ($45) or DRM2-YC12 12-pack ($450) to double the converter count using small-form converters.

Whether you're building a flypack, outfitting a mobile truck, or installing a master control room, the DRM2-PLUS-P2 offers scalable power and management in one rock-solid rackmount chassis.
