EDID management
The Quantum Ultra EDID Minder manages the EDID for the HDMI inputs. By default, input
EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz. In addition, EDID can be manually assigned to the sources
via VCS. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder
ensures that all sources power up properly and maintain their video outputs, whether or
not they are actively displayed on Quantum Ultra outputs.
Each input on the HDMI input cards has the option to set the EDID to be provided to the
connected source device. The preferred resolution found in custom EDID files is parsed
and the resolution and refresh rate are displayed in VCS.
NOTE: On HDMI inputs 2 and 4, EDIDs for resolutions with pixel clocks above
165 MHz are available only if "Up to 300 MHz" pixel clock support has been enabled
on HDMI inputs 2 and 4 of the IN4HDMI card.
The IN4HDMI 4K PLUS card supports EDIDs up to 600 MHz on all four HDMI inputs
(see the VCS Help File for information on setting the resolution support).
You can set the EDID for each of the inputs in your Quantum Ultra chassis using VCS.
The software lets you view the current EDID that has been set for each input. If no project
file has been saved on the Quantum Ultra, the default EDID setting of 1080p @ 60 Hz is
applied (see the VCS Help File, provided with the software, for details on selecting and
monitoring EDID).
IP inputs — Quantum Ultra and Ultra II 610 and 305 Only
The IN SMD 100 cards each contain two identical RJ-45 connectors (LAN A and LAN B).
Connect these ports to a network to enable decoding and displaying of multiple video
streams. You can select, add, and configure these streams using VCS (see the VCS Help
File for instructions).
INPUTS
Figure 21. IN SMD 100 Card
Each IN SMD 100 card can decode a predetermined number of streams per LAN port,
depending on the resolutions and refresh rates of the streams (streams of different
resolutions can be mixed on one card).
NOTE: Both LAN ports must be connected to the network in order to support the
maximum stream count.
Each card can process the following number of streams:
• 4 x 1080p @ 60 Hz (2 per port)
• 8 x 1080p @ 30 Hz (4 per port)
• 8 x 720p @ 60 Hz (4 per port)
14 x 720p @ 30 Hz (7 per port)
•
• 32 x 270p (480x270) @ 30 Hz (16 per port)
Installing more IN SMD 100 cards in the chassis increases the total number of streams
that can simultaneously be decoded. Hundreds of IP stream definitions can be viewed
simultaneously on an output, depending on the number of IN SMD 100 cards installed.
