A Compact Media Chassis for Smaller Systems

Cradle Series RF01 is a compact 1RU media chassis with four modular card slots for encoding, decoding, multiview, and media gateway functions. Install one to four media cards as needed to combine different media processing functions in a single chassis.

With shared power, cooling, and rack installation, RF01 reduces the need for multiple standalone devices and provides a practical setup for small studios, corporate and education AV, mobile production, and other compact media systems.

Up to 4 Media Cards. Configure What You Need.

Encoding · Decoding · Multiview · Media Gateway

RF01 supports a flexible mix of 4K and HD encoding/decoding, multiview decoding, and media gateway functions. Users can install one to four compatible media cards and tailor the configuration to different project requirements.

Consolidate Media Functions
in One Chassis

RF01 consolidates multiple media functions in a single 1RU chassis, reducing separate devices, power supplies, and mounting hardware.

By sharing power, cooling, and installation across the platform, it keeps smaller media systems cleaner, more organized, and easier to deploy.

Front-Panel Display & Control at Your Fingertips

RF01 features a 1.9-inch LCD and 6 physical buttons on the front panel for quick access to chassis status, card information, network information, and system alerts.

Users can check system status and perform basic local operations directly from the chassis, making on-site setup and maintenance easier.

Expand Without Replacing Media Cards
Built to Grow Within the CRADLE Series

RF01 shares the same CRADLE media card ecosystem with RF02-LC and RF02. As system requirements grow, compatible cards can be moved to a larger chassis and continue to be used, reducing the need to purchase replacement cards.

This reduces card replacement costs and simplifies future system expansion.
