Extron electronics Quantum Ultra Series Setup Manual

Quantum Ultra
The Extron Quantum Ultra 610 and 305 and Quantum Ultra Connect 128 and 84 Videowall Processors are modular 4K video
processors that support ultra-high resolutions up to 2560x1600 and 4096x2160 (4K) on inputs and outputs. All models provide
customizable output resolutions, input and output image rotation, and mullion compensation for compatibility with most display
technologies. USB, RS-232, and Ethernet interfaces also provide direct connections for control systems.
The Quantum Ultra 610 is a 6U, 10-slot card frame, while the Quantum Ultra 305 is a 3U frame with 5 card slots. These
models support multiple videowalls with mixed resolutions and screen orientations. They also support edge blend compensation,
window border styles, and a variety of source types including picture, RSS, Text, Clock, and VNC. The optional IN SMD 100 input
card decodes and displays multiple simultaneous MPEG2, Motion JPEG, and H.264 video streams at up to 60 frames per second.
Each input card contains four HDMI or two LAN connectors. The output cards contain either four HDMI or four DTP connectors.
Both chassis support any combination of input and output cards. Additional inputs and outputs can be added to a system with
use of one or more additional chassis.
The Quantum Ultra Connect 128 and 84 have fixed configurations. The Quantum Ultra Connect 84 has two HDMI input cards
and one HDMI output card, while the Quantum Ultra Connect 128 has three HDMI input cards and two HDMI output cards.
This card configuration is fixed and cannot be modified by the user.
Control methods for all models include Extron Videowall Configuration Software (VCS), which can be downloaded from the
Extron website
and provides a means of configuring videowall displays and saving window presets. Control is also available via
Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS) commands and by using the Express Mobile Software (EMS) for Quantum Ultra on an iOS, Android,
or Microsoft tablet device.
