Cameras as well as traditional film cameras with a video tap. The QTAKE Output Device - QOD+ is the ultimate hardware device developed by IN2CORE to provide a superior solution for GPU-driven low-latency video output. It supports up to four independent 3G SDI outputs or a single UHD output.
HARDWARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS VIDEO INPUT: DisplayPort with embedded audio REFERENCE INPUT: HD Tri-level sync input INPUT FORMATS: HDx2 3840 x 1080 HDx3 1920 x 3240 HDx4 3840 x 2160 VIDEO OUTPUT: 4x 3G-SDI with embedded audio DisplayPort with embedded audio AUDIO INPUT: DisplayPort embedded audio, up to 8 channels 3.5mm stereo analog audio (mini-jack)
FEATURES • Four independent SDI outputs* • Low latency of just 1 frame** • SDI embedded audio • SDI embedded timecode • Thunderbolt compatible DisplayPort input • Analog audio input • Genlock input • Support for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI formats (currently only 1080 full HD) •...
QOD+ INSTALLATION GENERAL INSTALLATION QOD+ Installation requires a few simple steps: 1. Connect the DisplayPort cable to the DP IN port on the QOD+ and connect the other end (mini DisplayPort) to a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Mac. 2. Connect the USB cable to the port labeled USB on the QOD+ and the other end to an available USB port on your Mac.
OPERATION GENERAL OPERATION When the QOD+ is plugged into the DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port of your Mac, the operating system will detect it as a new monitor. You can verify that macOS has detected your QOD+ in System Preferences - Displays or use the Display Menu application (see DISPLAY MENU below). WARNING When handling with QOD+, ensure to power off the device by disconnecting the power cord.
SERIAL NUMBER Serial number of the QOD+. QOD RESOLUTION QOD+ Current input resolution. TEMP QOD+ internal temperature. QTAKE will notify you with a message in the status bar if the QOD+ temperature exceeds 76 Celsius. The QOD+ will shut down if the internal temperature reaches 85 Celsius to prevent internal components damage.
GPU OUT SETTINGS The GPU OUT window controls QOD+ output channels. QOD FORMAT can be set to either 1080p, 1080i or 1080psf. QOD FPS can be set from 23.98 to 60, Clip or Input. Setting QOD+ FPS to CLIP means that QOD+ will output a signal at the same frequency as the clip in the corresponding VIEW.
4K OUTPUT Since QOD+ has four 3G SDI connectors, you achieve 4K output by using all four output connectors. QTAKE sends one quadrant of 4K resolution into each QOD+ SDI OUT connector. Therefore your monitor has to support quad link SDI to display the 4K QOD output. Alternatively, you can use a 4x3G ->...
QOD+ DIP SWITCH CONTROL When using QOD+ with another software or no USB connection is available, you can set the QOD+ operational modes via DIP switches. Refer to the image below to set the requested modes. More details are available in the STANDALONE OPERATION section.
STANDALONE OPERATION You can use 12 DIP switches on the side of the QOD+ to set the QOD+ into standalone operation mode. When you set the QOD+ into standalone mode, it will ignore commands and communication sent through the USB interface. The DIP switches control the following options: (1 = ON, 0 = OFF). DIP Switches Note OUTPUT FORMAT...
Alternatively, you can use the Text Edit application to edit the content of the preference file. QTAKE preferences file resides in the [SYSTEM VOLUME]/USERS/[USER NAME]/LIBRARY/APPLICATION SUPPORT/COM.IN2CORE.QTAKEPRO/PREFS folder. If you delete this file, QTAKE will recreate one with the default settings. Changes will take effect next time QTAKE starts.
TROUBLESHOOTING If macOS or QTAKE does not detect the QOD+, use the following steps to reset it: 1. Quit QTAKE 2. Turn off QOD+ 3. Turn DIP Switch 1 to position ON, all other DIP Switches to position OFF 4. Turn on QOD+ 5.
