Units are stacked together to provide multiple levels. E.g. a system could be provided with serial
digital, composite video, three levels of component video, four levels of audio, time code and RS422.
Remote control panels are usually supplied as part of a system and these are connected back to the
routers by a standard video co-ax cable called
Q-Link
.
To allow re-configuration, all systems are supplied with WinSetup, which is a Windows program
enabling the user to edit the PC based setup files and then download the selected file to the router.
In medium sized systems it may be more suitable to have several Q-Links on the master frame and to
wire off in different directions. This requires a CI-0004 module in the master router. Only Q32 routers
and above have the extra BNC connectors to support a CI-0004.
In larger systems the extra processing power of the SC-1000 is often required. This is a separate 2U
controller that supports an optional backup controller and backup PSU. The large number of Q-Links
allows a system to be split into physical areas such as vision control, audio, production, and
engineering.
