3U VPX Rear Transition Module for Video Output

3U VPX Rear Transition Module for Digital & Legacy Video Output

Model: VPX3U-RTM-VO | WOLF-11R6

The WOLF VPX3U-RTM-VO (WOLF-11R6) is a 3U VPX rear transition module that brings video outputs from compatible WOLF payload modules to accessible rear-panel connectors. It provides six Mini-DisplayPort outputs, two CVBS outputs and two STANAG RGB outputs, together with JTAG, UART and status connections for integration and service access.

Bring payload video outputs to the rear of the chassis

A VPX payload module may generate the required video signals, but the system still needs a practical way to expose those signals at the chassis rear. This 3U VPX rear transition module performs that breakout function for selected WOLF video-output payload modules.

Keeping the display connections at the rear can simplify system cabling and support a cleaner front-panel arrangement, while also providing access to both modern digital and legacy analogue video interfaces.

Support modern and legacy displays

The WOLF-11R6 combines digital DisplayPort output with CVBS and STANAG RGB breakout for systems that need to connect both current and established display equipment.

Available video outputs include:

Six Mini-DisplayPort outputs supporting DP++.
Two CVBS outputs.
two STANAG RGB outputs.

The final usable signal set depends on the compatible payload module and system configuration.

Compatible WOLF payload modules

WOLF lists the WOLF-11R6 for use with selected 3U VPX video-output payload modules, including:

WOLF-1178.
WOLF-1116.
WOLF-0197.

Compatibility should still be confirmed against the exact ordered payload configuration and backplane routing. You can check out our range of wolf products here.

Service and status connections

The RTM also provides service and status interfaces that support integration and maintenance activities:

JTAG connector.
12 V UART connector.
3.3 V UART connector.
LED status indication for board power and faults.

What to confirm before ordering

Confirm:

Exact WOLF payload module and ordering configuration.
3U VPX chassis and rear-transition-slot arrangement.
Required Mini-DisplayPort, STANAG RGB and CVBS output count.
Backplane routing between the payload slot and RTM.
Rear-panel connector access and cable clearance.
JTAG and UART service-access requirements.
System-level environmental and qualification requirements.

Metromatics can help confirm payload compatibility and rear I/O requirements before ordering.

Question	Answer
What does the WOLF-11R6 do?	It breaks out video signals from compatible WOLF 3U VPX payload modules to accessible rear-panel connectors.
Does the WOLF-11R6 process or generate video?	No. WOLF describes it as a rear transition module. The compatible payload module generates or processes the video; the RTM exposes those signals at the rear of the chassis.
Will it work with any 3U VPX GPU module?	No. WOLF lists specific compatible payload modules, and the backplane and slot mapping must also match the intended system.
Why use an RTM instead of front-panel video connectors?	An RTM can keep display and service connections at the rear of the chassis, which may simplify cabling and preserve the front-panel arrangement of the payload slot. Whether this is the best approach depends on the system architecture.
