Uninterrupted Signal, Silent Operation

Broadcast infrastructure, audio-visual processing systems, studio equipment and digital signal processing hardware have to meet three expectations at once: look the part in plain view, stay inaudible in the studio and never stop while on air. No single component meets them; the enclosure, cooling, storage and connectivity have to be designed together.

Björn Tech brings POLYRACK enclosures and front panels, YCC Fan's quiet fans and Innodisk's industrial storage, memory and connectivity modules together as one system. From recording and playout servers to live streaming boxes, every device is built from components whose fit has been planned from the start.

Broadcast Requirements at a Glance

Areas of use Broadcast centres, studios, control rooms, OB vans, live events and conferences
Operation 24/7, with no interruption while on air
Acoustics Cooling that stays inaudible in studios and control rooms
Recording Continuous video recording without dropped frames, up to 8 TB per drive
After a failure One-click or remote system recovery, without an engineer on site
Mechanics 19" rack or desktop; aesthetic, EMC-ready front with display integration
Connectivity 10 GbE for IP video, extra HDMI and DVI outputs for monitors
Scope of supply Enclosure, cooling, storage, memory, connectivity and AI computing from one supplier

What Studios and Broadcast Centres Expect

  • Aesthetic design

    Broadcast and studio equipment is in plain view; its front panel design has to reflect the quality of the product.

    Our answer FreeTechMagic19" Front Panels

  • Quiet operation

    In studio environments, cooling must not compromise acoustic comfort.

    Our answer AC Axial FansDC Axial Fans

  • High availability

    In broadcast infrastructure, an equipment outage stops the broadcast itself; systems must be built for continuous operation.

    Our answer InnoREC SSD 3TV6-P / 3MV2-PInnoAgent EZ2N-0XL1DDR5 Industrial Memory

  • Display integration and EMC

    The enclosure has to allow flexible display integration while protecting audio and video signals from interference.

  • Fast recovery after a crash

    When the operating system of a live broadcast, conference or concert system crashes, every minute is lost airtime. The system must come back with one button or remotely, without waiting for an engineer.

    Our answer InnoOSR 3TO8 / 3TO7InnoAgent EZ2N-0XL1

  • Recording without dropped frames

    When write performance drops during continuous recording, frames are lost. Recording drives must sustain sequential writes for hours and protect the data during an unexpected power loss.

    Our answer InnoREC SSD 3TV6-P / 3MV2-P2.5" SATA SSD 3TG8-PEGPL-T102 10GbE LAN Module

  • Performance for graphics and video AI

    Graphics, effects and video analytics push storage, memory and processor to their limits at the same time; an industrial system has to deliver that performance around the clock.

One System from Studio to Air

A broadcast device is only as reliable as its weakest component. That is why we plan the system layer by layer: the POLYRACK enclosure lays the mechanical and EMC foundation, YCC fans are chosen for that enclosure's airflow, Innodisk storage and memory stay at safe temperatures in that airflow, and connectivity and remote management keep the system under control without a site visit.

The result: one bill of materials, one technical contact and components whose compatibility has been considered from the start.

  2. 02 Quiet Cooling AC and DC fans chosen for the enclosure airflow and the noise target, so the studio stays quiet. YCC Fan
  3. 03 Recording and Storage Recording must never stop, and the system must be back within minutes after a crash. Innodisk
