USB system connectors — (Optional) Connect a flash drive or human interface devices (HIDs) such as a keyboard or mouse
E
to one or more of these three USB A connectors to enable interaction with the embedded operating system.
USB Config control connector — Connect a computer to this USB connector to enable control of the Quantum Ultra Series
F
device via VCS and SIS commands.
RS-232 control connector — Connect a control system or computer to this 3-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector to enable
G
control of the Quantum Ultra Series device via SIS commands. RS-232 protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity,
8 data bits, and no flow control.
LAN connectors A and B — Connect one or both of these RJ-45 Ethernet connectors to a network to access:
H
• A computer with VCS and, optionally, EMS installed, to set up the videowall (see
on page 5).
• A control device such as an Extron IP Link Pro or IPCP Pro for AV control of the Quantum Ultra Series device.
•
A network with Virtual Network Computing (VNC) servers to stream desktops to the Quantum Ultra or Ultra II device.
Input and output card slots — Each of these slots supports either an input or an output card. At least one input and one
I
output card must be installed.
•
Inputs —
•
Each HDMI and HDMI 4K PLUS input card has four female HDMI connectors, so that up to four HDMI sources can
be connected to it.
•
Each IN SMD 100 input card has two LAN connectors, each of which can be connected to a network to enable
decoding and displaying of multiple streams (not available on Quantum Ultra Connect).
•
Each IN4FOX3 input card has four pairs of input and output LC connectors for lossless or uncompressed fiber optic
connections (Quantum Ultra II models only).
•
Outputs —
•
Each HDMI and HDMI 4K PLUS output card has four HDMI connectors so that up to four HDMI sources can be
connected.
•
Each OUT4DTP output card has four DTP connectors. Up to four HDMI displays or DTP receivers can connect to
these cards (not available on Quantum Ultra Connect).
•
Each OUT4FOX3 output card has four pairs of input and output LC connectors for lossless or uncompressed fiber
optic connections (Quantum Ultra II models only).
•
The Quantum Ultra Connect 84 has two HDMI input cards and one HDMI output card, while the Connect 128 has three
HDMI input and two HDMI output cards. These card configurations are fixed and cannot be modified by the user.
NOTE:
To connect DVI sources or displays to an HDMI connector, use a DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Dual link DVI signals are
not supported.
Card Installation Order
When the Quantum Ultra Series device is assembled at the factory, all the input cards are installed in slots above the output cards
in the chassis. If installing cards yourself, do not intersperse input cards with output cards.
NOTE: The expansion output and input cards have special rules for placement in card slots (see the Quantum Ultra
Expansion System Setup Guide, provided with the expansion system, for more information).
Each card slot can contain either an input or an output card (at least one input and one output card must be installed). However,
because all the input cards must be installed together above the output cards in the chassis, slot 1 cannot contain an output card
and slot 10 of the 610 models or slot 5 of the 305 models cannot contain an input card.
All input cards of the same type (IN SMD 100, HDMI, HDMI 4K PLUS, and IN4FOX3) must be installed in adjacent slots, as must
all output cards of the same type (HDMI, DTP, HDMI 4K PLUS, and OUT4FOX3). Do not intersperse different card types.
•
Install the cards in this order: IN SMD 100, IN4HDMI, IN4HDMI 4K PLUS, IN4FOX3, OUT4HDMI, OUT4DTP, OUT4HDMI 4K
PLUS, OUT4FOX3.
• Do not leave empty slots between cards in the chassis. Empty card slots must be at the bottom of the card stack.
