Description
Product Overview
Magewell Modator 2U Rack-Mountable Chassis brings Magewell video encoding and decoding into a scalable, high-density modular platform. The 2U chassis accommodates up to 10 hot-swappable Modator modules while providing centralized power, cooling, monitoring, and management for professional video systems. Dual power supplies and optimized thermal design support demanding 24/7 broadcast and AV-over-IP deployments.
Magewell Modator 2U Rack-Mountable Chassis
The Modator family brings the reliability and low-latency performance of Magewell standalone encoders and decoders to a high-density, modular, rackmount form factor. The Modator 2U chassis fits standard rack deployments and supports up to 10 Modator modules.
Form Factor
2U Rackmount
Module Capacity
Up to 10 Modules
System Benefit
High-Density / Low-Latency
Designed for Reliable 24/7 Operation
Dual hot-swappable power supplies provide redundancy for professional environments where continuous availability is important. If one supply requires attention, the redundant architecture helps maintain system operation.
Optimized heat dissipation complements the redundant power architecture, making Modator 2U well suited to broadcast, live production, AV-over-IP, and other continuously operated video infrastructures.
Each Installed Module Operates Independently
Every installed Modator module independently converts high-quality video and audio signals according to its specific encoding or decoding function. Different module types can therefore serve different signal paths within the same chassis.
This modular approach allows system designers to create the exact combination of encoder and decoder channels required while centralizing rack space, power, cooling, monitoring, and administration.
Local Chassis and Module Status Monitoring
The integrated touchscreen provides direct access to chassis information and the status of installed modules. Operators can quickly inspect the rack system without opening a separate management workstation.
Users can also power the chassis on or off, review module information, configure Ethernet settings, view event logs, and check system error notifications from the front panel.
Broadcast Facilities
Consolidate multiple professional video conversion channels into a centrally managed 2U rack system.
Live Production
Build flexible combinations of encoder and decoder modules for studios, events, and production facilities.
AV over IP
Create scalable interfaces between conventional video signals and network-based production infrastructure.
Control Rooms
Centralize signal conversion, system monitoring, and module management within one rackmount platform.
Systems Integrators
Configure each deployment with the precise combination of compatible Modator modules required.
24/7 Operations
Deploy redundant power and optimized thermal management in continuously operated professional environments.
Magewell Support
Coremicro can help plan Magewell Modator deployments, confirm compatible encoder and decoder modules, calculate slot and power requirements, select the appropriate module combination, and review rack, network, redundancy, management, and integration requirements for professional video installations.

What is the Magewell Modator 2U used for?
Modator 2U is a rack-mountable chassis designed to house Magewell Modator encoder and decoder modules. It centralizes multiple independent conversion channels in a single professional 2U platform.
How many Modator modules can it support?
The chassis provides 10 module slots, allowing up to 10 compatible Modator modules to be installed.
Are the Modator modules hot-swappable?
Yes. The chassis is designed for hot-swappable Modator modules, simplifying installation, servicing, and system expansion.
Can encoder and decoder modules be mixed?
Yes. Each installed module operates independently, allowing compatible encoding and decoding modules to be combined within the same chassis according to system requirements.
Does Modator 2U have redundant power?
Yes. Dual hot-swappable power supplies provide redundancy for professional systems designed for continuous operation.
What can be monitored from the touchscreen?
The touchscreen provides chassis and module status information, network configuration, event logs, error notifications, and local chassis power control.
Are encoder or decoder modules included?
No encoder or decoder modules are included with the chassis. Compatible Modator modules are selected separately according to the required video workflow.
