The Extron Quantum Ultra Series, consisting of Quantum Ultra 610 and 305, Quantum Ultra II 610 and 305, and
Quantum Ultra Connect 128 and 84, are modular 4K videowall processors that support ultra-high resolutions up to 4096x2160 (4K)
@ 60 Hz on inputs and outputs. All models provide customizable output resolutions, input and output image rotation, and mullion
compensation. USB, RS-232, and LAN interfaces provide direct connections for control systems.
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 HDMI, H.264, picture, Really Simple
Syndication (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. Input cards contain four HDMI or two LAN
connectors. The output cards contain 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. They also
support the IN4FOX3 and OUT4FOX3 cards, which contain four pairs of input and output LC connectors for lossless or
uncompressed fiber optic connections.
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. These card configurations cannot be modified by the user.
NOTE:
The Expansion In and Expansion Out cards provide another option for the Quantum Ultra 610 and 305, and
Quantum Ultra II 610 and 305 (Quantum Ultra Connect models do not support expansion cards). These input and output
cards enable up to five Quantum Ultra chassis to be connected together and managed from one primary chassis. Using
the expansion cards, a Quantum Ultra system can be expanded to up to 42 input and output cards (see the Quantum Ultra
Expansion System Setup Guide, provided with the expansion system, for information on setting up these models).
Control methods for all models include Extron Videowall Configuration Software (VCS), available on the
