Quantum Series Videowall Processing Systems • Introduction 1

Introduction

This section gives an overview of the Extron Quantum Videowall Processors, describes

significant features of the series, and provides sample application diagrams. The following

topics are covered:

• About this Guide

• About the Quantum Videowall Processors

• Features

• Functional Overview

• Application Diagrams

About this Guide

This guide discusses how to install, configure, and operate the Quantum Elite and

Quantum Connect videowall processors.

Throughout this guide, the terms “Quantum” and “processor” are used interchangeably to

refer to both Quantum Elite models and the Quantum Connect.

About the Quantum Videowall Processors

The Quantum Elite 615, Quantum Elite 408, the Quantum Connect 82, and the Quantum

Connect 84 are multi-window scalable and expandable videowall processors that can

be configured for a variety of input, output, and window capabilities. These processors

feature high performance video scaling technology that produces very high quality images.

The Elite models can be populated at the factory with any combination of DVI-I or HDMI

output cards, each of which supports up to 128 video graphic source windows, and with

input cards for composite or S-video, RGB or HD component video, HDMI, DVI, and SDI

(including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI) sources. The two Quantum Connect models are

available with only HDMI input and output cards.

NOTES:

• Input capacity is based on an input-output card configuration with one slot

occupied by an output card.

• Output capacity is based on an input-output card configuration with one slot

occupied by an input card.

You can preprogram or create a variety of display scenarios as needed using the

Quantum Elite or the Quantum Connect control software interfaces for setup and system

operation. Many source signals can be shown at small sizes, a few at large sizes, or

many combinations of both. The Quantum high performance image scaling technology

accurately preserves the original image quality at all window sizes.

Quantum Series Videowall Processing Systems • Introduction 2

Models

Quantum Elite

• The Quantum Elite 615 has a 6U high, 15-slot card frame. It has a maximum input

capacity of 28 single-link DVI-D, 28 HDMI, 28 SDI, 28 RGB or HD component video,

or 168 composite or S-video. Maximum output capacity is 28 DVI-I or HDMI. Multiple

Quantum Elite 615 card cages can be used to create very large display arrays.

• The Quantum Elite 408 has a 4U high, 8-slot card frame with a maximum input

capacity of 14 single-link DVI-D, 14 HDMI, 14 SDI, 14 RGB or HD component video,

or 84 composite or S-video. Maximum output capacity is 14 DVI-I or HDMI.

Additional DVI, HDMI, SDI, or RGB source signals can be streamed over an IP network to

the Elite processors using the Extron QGE 100 IP encoder.

Quantum Connect

The Quantum Connect 82 and 84 models have 4U high, eight-slot card frames with four

HDMI input cards (eight HDMI inputs).

The Quantum Connect is ideal for small to medium videowalls with 2 to 14 screens. Two models

are available:

• Connect 82 is configured with one HDMI output card (two HDMI outputs per card).

• Connect 84 is configured with two HDMI output cards (four HDMI outputs per card).

NOTE: The Connect models do not support the following features that are provided

on the Elite models:

•Input and output cards other than HDMI

•Customized conﬁgurations to order

•QGE 100 source types

•Picture and image ﬁle source types

•Window borders or text

•Clock and timer source types

•Multiple processor systems

•Edge-blended displays

Features

• Card frame videowall processing system — The Quantum processor allows

for various combinations of input and output cards to match specific source and

videowall configurations. It is a fully modular system, allowing each unit to be

individually configured to best suit the end user application.

• Input configurations — The Quantum processor can be configured with various

combinations of inputs within the available card slots.

All models:

• HDMI input: The dual HDMI/DVI input card accepts two HDMI or DVI sources

at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and HDTV 1080 @ 60 Hz, as well as custom

resolutions.

NOTE: Appropriate HDMI to DVI cables or adapters are required for DVI

signal input on this card.
