Card Locations — Quantum Ultra 610 and 305
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).
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 (615 model) or slot 5 (305
model) cannot contain an input card.
All input cards of the same type (HDMI or IN SMD 100 [IP]) must be installed together,
as must all output cards of the same type (HDMI or DTP). Do not intersperse HDMI input
cards with IN SMD 100 cards, or HDMI output cards with DTP cards. In addition:
Install the IN SMD 100 input cards in slots above those containing HDMI input cards.
•
• Install the HDMI output cards in slots above those containing DTP output cards.
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.

Inputs

The input cards available for the Quantum Ultra include:
• HDMI (IN4HDMI) — Each card contains four HDMI connectors.
IP (IN SMD 100) — Each card contains two LAN connectors (not available for the
•
Quantum Ultra Connect models).
Source down-scaling
Each input card has an on-board scaler that can down-scale the video sources in size to
1/32 of the original size (horizontally, vertically, or both). Production of up to 16 instances
of an input is supported, up to the total bandwidth of 18 Gbps (4K @ 60 Hz).

Should more instances be required for a preset layout, the scaler produces the required
image sizes but reduces the frame rate as needed.
Downscaling examples
For simplicity, the example in the diagram in
