Card Locations; Hdmi Lockit Cable Lacing Brackets; Inputs - Extron electronics Quantum Ultra User Manual

The recommended cable type for the input and output connections is single link (dual
link signals are not supported), high-speed, HDMI video cable with a maximum length of
25 feet (7.6 meters). To connect DVI sources or displays to a card, use a DVI-to-HDMI
adapter.

Card Locations

When the Quantum Ultra is assembled at the factory, all the input cards are installed in
slots above the output cards in the chassis. If installing cards yourself, do not intersperse
input cards with output cards.
Each card slot can contain either an input or an output card, depending on the
configuration that was ordered (at least one input and one output card must be installed
in the chassis). However, because all the input cards must be installed together above
the output cards in the chassis, slot 1 cannot contain an output card and slot 10 cannot
contain an input card.
NOTE: Do not leave empty slots between cards (input or output) in the chassis. This
prevents the unit from functioning. Card slots that remain empty must be at the
bottom of the card slots section.

HDMI LockIt Cable Lacing Brackets

Four Extron LockIt cable lacing brackets are provided with each
HDMI card for the Quantum Ultra (additional ones can be
ordered). These brackets enable you to secure HDMI input and
output device cables to the HDMI connectors on the cards to
prevent intermittent or complete signal loss due to a loose cable
connection. Above each connector is a mounting screw, which
you can use to attach the lacing bracket to the Quantum Ultra
input and output cards (see the provided LockIt HDMI Lacing
Bracket Installation Guide card for more information on attaching
the bracket).

Inputs

The HDMI input cards have four female HDMI type A connectors and are
HDCP-compliant when used with HDMI output cards and HDCP-compliant displays. The
input cards provide down-scaling of sources as required.
NOTE: The HDMI connectors also support DVI signals with appropriate HDMI to DVI
cables or adapters.
Inputs 1 and 3 — These two inputs accept resolutions with pixel clocks of up to
•
165 MHz, providing support for resolutions of 2048x1200 and 1920x1200 at 60 Hz.
• Inputs 2 and 4 — These two inputs accept resolutions with pixel clocks of up to
300 MHz, providing support for resolutions of 4K at 30 Hz and 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.
Digital video sources such as computers, cameras, Blu-ray™ or DVD players, and
video servers can be connected to the Quantum Ultra processor through one or more
of the input cards. These cards provide down-scaling of sources as well as full source
auto-detection.
