Description
The RMK-1 rackmount kit is a dedicated mounting accessory designed to integrate Datavideo 1 RU hardware into a standard equipment rack. It enables installation of either one full-width unit or two half-width units in a single rack unit. The kit assembles the structural components required for a secure rack installation and maintains a professional rack appearance.
Key components include two half-length rack ears, an upper connection plate, a lower connection plate and a half-length front block plate. A complete mounting screw kit is included to fasten plates and ears to the equipment and rack rails. These components are engineered to align with standard rack hole patterns and 1 RU spacing.
Technically the kit is specified for 1 RU rack compatibility and includes mounting screws in the following sizes: 4 x M3 x 4 mm, 4 x M4 x 8 mm and 2 x M3 x 6 mm. The packaging weight is 1.435 lb and the outer box dimensions are 10.2 x 4.9 x 2.5 inches. The metal plates and ears provide the mechanical support required for typical broadcast and production equipment.
Connectivity considerations focus on mechanical compatibility rather than signal I/O – the RMK-1 secures Datavideo modules and preserves access to rear-panel connectors and controls. It is compatible with standard EIA 19-inch racks and accepts common rack mounting orientations. The design leaves cable access and ventilation unobstructed to avoid interference with system cabling and cooling.
Typical applications include studio racks, OB vehicle racks, mobile production cases and equipment shelves where space is limited and modular Datavideo units must be combined. The kit supports compact system designs by enabling mixed full and half-rack arrangements in a single 1 RU space. It is suitable for deployment in repeatable rack builds and field service environments where consistent mounting hardware reduces installation time.
Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools to attach the connection plates and rack ears using the supplied screws. The components are manufactured for durability to withstand repeated installation cycles and transport. The RMK-1 streamlines rack assembly and provides a stable mounting platform for Datavideo 1 RU devices while minimizing additional enclosure modifications.
