HDMI OUT system output connector
— (Optional) Connect an HDMI monitor
to this female HDMI connector to view activity and interactions with the embedded
operating system.
USB system connectors
— (Optional) Connect human interface devices (HID),
such as a keyboard or mouse, or a flash drive to one or more of these three USB A
connectors to interact with the embedded operating system.
USB CONFIG control connector
— Connect a computer to this USB connector
to enable control of the Quantum Ultra Series device via SIS commands and VCS.
RS-232 control connector
— Connect a control system or computer to this
3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector to enable 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 any of the following:
•
A computer with VCS installed, to set up the videowall
•
A control device such as an Extron IP Link Pro or IPCP Pro for AV control of the
Quantum Ultra Series processor
•
A network with Virtual Network Computing (VNC) servers to stream desktops to
the Quantum Ultra Series processor
•
Process SIS commands
NOTE:
For expansion systems, the LAN A ports of all chassis in the system must
be connected to the same network. If desired, LAN B ports of any of the chassis
can be connected to a separate network for VNC or RSS sources.
Input and output card slots
— Each of these slots supports either an input card
or an output card, depending on the configuration (at least one input and output card
must be installed).
NOTE:
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.
Input cards:
•
HDMI (IN4HDMI or IN4HDMI 4K PLUS)
— Each card has four HDMI
connectors, so that up to four HDMI sources can be connected to it.
•
IN SMD 100
— Each card has two LAN connectors, each of which can be
connected to a network to enable decoding and displaying of multiple streams
(Quantum Ultra and Ultra II 610 and 305 only).
•
Expansion In
— Each card has three 12-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors to
which another chassis in an expansion system can be connected via three MPO
cables (Quantum Ultra 610 and 305 only).
Output cards:
•
HDMI
(IN4HDMI or IN4HDMI 4K PLUS)
— Each card has four HDMI
connectors, so that up to four HDMI displays can be connected to it.

— Each card has four DTP connectors to which up to four DTP
receivers can be connected.
•
Expansion Out
— Each card has three 12-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors to
which another chassis in an expansion system can be connected via three MPO
cables (Quantum Ultra 610 and 305 only).
