The Quantum Ultra 610 has a 6U, 10-slot card frame, or chassis, while the Quantum Ultra 305 has a 3U chassis with
five 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 II 610 and Quantum Ultra II 305 have the same features as their respective Quantum Ultra 610
and Quantum Ultra 305 counterparts, described above. In addition, these models support the IN4HDMI 4K PLUS input and
OUT4HDMI 4K PLUS output cards, which provide 4K @ 60 Hz capability on each of the four HDMI connectors.
