Applications
Fusion Research manufactured rack-mounted media servers for custom home automation and commercial AV installations, typically integrated with control systems such as Crestron and AMX. These servers were designed to stream music and video throughout a building from a centralized rack location, distributing content to multiple zones or displays. They were commonly deployed in high-end residential installations, hospitality environments, and boardrooms as part of a structured wiring and AV rack. This unit, sold for parts or repair, may be of interest to integrators troubleshooting video output faults, technicians sourcing components, or installers familiar with the Fusion Research platform.
This Fusion Research 1U Rackmount Music and Video Server powers on, but does not produce a video signal through the VGA port. The HDMI output has not been confirmed functional. Because we are unable to fully test the unit and cannot confirm whether parts may be missing or whether all functions operate as intended, this server is being sold strictly as-is for parts or repair. No power supply is included — the unit requires an external DC 12V 5A supply. The chassis and rear I/O panel appear intact with no obvious physical damage. This item is not guaranteed functional and carries no warranty of working condition. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
