Teradek Prism 801 Base Rack System 1U
Product Overview
The Teradek Prism 801 Base Rack System 1U is a 1RU rack-mount chassis designed to house Prism 853 encoder cards and Prism 873 decoder cards for scalable IP video encoding and decoding in broadcast facilities, AV control rooms, and production infrastructure. The 1U form factor is optimized for space-constrained equipment racks where channel density must be balanced with rack unit economy.
Product Description
The Prism 801 1U chassis provides a standard 19-inch rack-mount housing for Prism encoder and decoder cards, supplying power, network connectivity, and signal I/O to installed cards through the chassis backplane. The 1U profile is appropriate for facilities where rack space is limited, offering a more compact alternative to the Prism 802 2U chassis at reduced channel capacity. Integrates with Teradek Core for centralized management of all installed encoder and decoder channels.
For Prism 853 encoder cards, Prism 873 decoder cards, the higher-capacity Prism 802 2U chassis, and complementary broadcast infrastructure, visit creationnetworks.net.
