Product Description:
The Comtrol RocketPort Plus uPCI 422 2-Port SMPTE serial port expansion
card provides two serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI
card slot and is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus
architectures. The DB9 serial ports meet the SMPTE 207M standard and
support RS-422 serial communications at speeds up to 921 Kbps. Every
RocketPort serial card features the high-performance RocketPort ASIC
chip, consisting of a dedicated 44MHz processor that minimizes host CPU
utilization and larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of 16550
UART chips used in standard PC serial ports and low-end serial cards.
RocketPort ASIC technology enables these cards to outperform other
serial expansion cards by handling the transmission of large amounts of
data more reliably and efficiently. Additionally, RocketPort products
do not require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation
and eliminating conflicts with other server cards. This product is
fully compliant with the European RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
