Inputs - Extron electronics Quantum Ultra User Manual

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.
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 example
For simplicity, the example in the diagram below assumes that each screen in the target
display has the same resolution as the source.
Figure 6.
Up-scaling (magnification) is achieved by a scaler on the output card (see
